Problem is this is our second horrific performance of the season (first against SDSU). Washington State have "coug'd" it only once this year.

Hm, I'd say third. If you have conference title winning aspirations, let alone playoff-qualifying ones -- as the team say they do -- then any blowout is de facto a horrific performance. Ergo I put the SC performance up there as a horrific one.

Not all losses are horrific. For example, in retrospect, neither loss in 2015 was. But every loss since 2016 has been horrific. That suggests there are some problems in the state of the problem that need fixing.

USC played its best game of the year against us.  Sometimes the opponent shows up and plays a great game.  We got blown up, and the defense did not play well.  But that game was as much about USC playing well as it was about us laying an egg.
