I'm not sure anyone has quite illustrated why so few points were scored given the amount of yards racked up. It is astonishing Stanford only had one 4th down attempt in a game it lost by 27.

So, I didn't watch the game either, but what you are asking is something that can easily be gleaned from looking at the play-by-play.  I am going to assume that the question was serious and not trolling, but this is something that you can easily look up yourself, here:

Here's the math:

Drive	Start	End	Yards	Outcome
1	Stan 29	WSU 34	37	Punt
2	Stan 25	WSU 44	31	Punt
3	Stan 25	TD	75	TD
4	Stan 1(!)	TD	99	TD
5	Stan 25	WSU 33	42	End of half
6	Stan 25	WSU 21	54	Missed FG
7	Stan 17	TD	83	TD
8	Stan 25	Stan 26	1	Punt
9	Stan 25	Stan 48	23	INT
10	Stan 25	WSU 11	64	INT
11	Stan 25	Midfield	25	Turnover on downs

So basically, we had three drives that ended in a touchdown, for 75, 83, and 99 yards; that's 257 yards; those are above average length touchdown drives.  We also had two drives that ended in an interception, accounting for another 87 yards.  We also "wasted" a fair bit of yardage with two drives that ended in a punt from our opponents side of the field (another 68 yards), plus a drive that moved 42 yards in 3 plays in 25 seconds but ended with the end of the half.  Lastly, we missed a 39 yard field goal from the WSU 21 (another 54 yards that led to zero points).  So, sum total, we had 6 drives that together gained 251 yards (an average of 42 yards per drive) but netted zero points.  Unlike in prior weeks, we had no three-and-outs, and our shortest drive was a six-play 1 yard drive that ended in a pass for -5 yards and a 7 yard sack.  In fact that was the only drive that failed to gain at least 20 yards.
