When the other team never has to punt throws for over 500 yards and scores 49 points I think it’s a little silly to place the blame on the offense and “coaching.” If Stanford happened to somehow score 50 today Washington state would’ve scored 55 or 60. Stanford was absolutely powerless to stop Washington states offense. Because they can’t match up. Because they are slower than mud among other things. That’s a much bigger problem than schemes etc. And needs to be solved through recruiting. Let’s hope they can do it

As soon as Mills' level of play dipped, the offense fell on its face. For three quarters, his talent made the game plan look better than it was. When you see the talent of guys like Wilson, Wedington, Mills, etc., it's just clearly a group that is somehow less than the sum of its parts.

Last four years WSU has averaged around 450 yards a game running the same offense. We seem to have no clue how to stop it This covers a broad range of defensive players. Either we can't scheme against it, or the type of players we recruit can't defend it with the schemes we run. I fail to see the logic in rushing 3 down after down and giving the QB forever to find an open receiver. I would rather have seen us send 6 or 7 each time. Worst result would maybe been an even worse beating.
And that's coaching. And that, in the end, is why we are where we are.
