Looking ahead to Oregon's
date with the high s< oring
Washington State (iougars. one
thing seems eerilv similar he
tween tins game and List
week's Iti It) win over Arizona
Both games feature a team
th.it is i oming off a loss that
should have been a win
lust as the Dm ks were com
mg oil a heartbreaking loss the
week before the Arizona game
(let us not rehash that). Wash
ingtnn State is coming off a
painful 18-17 (does the score
sound familiar?) loss that
should have been a win.
Southern California drove 'll
vards in the final 4 I 2 minutes
of last Saturday’s game tor a
touchdown and the winning
two point conversion to hand
the Cougs their first loss of the
season
The Cougars are mad and
Washington Slate coach Mike
I’ric e hopes they slav that wav
"What we need to do," I’rii e
said is to keep that mad on
Also. I’rii e points out that no
one on the current Washington
Stale roster has ever beaten a
I)u( k football team
"No one on this team has
ever beaten tile t'niversitv ot
Oregon in a football game." he
said "I reallv haven't talked
{to the team) about it. but it

W ould it be presumptuous In
assume that he probabk
doesn't need to?
Oregon lias beaten the Con
gars four straight times dating
li.u k to l‘IB4 when Washington
State outscored the I links

High scoring affairs seem to
be becoming tradition between
these two schools In the last
live meetings betweeu the Con
gais and Dm ks, the losing team
has averaged more than _'H
points per game with the win
