Both programs have been a lot of fun so far.
Yes, Ken Niumatalolo can teach more than just the option. He took over San Jose State and won a big game at Air Force on the road to make it 3-0.
It is not crazy to want a 7-0 start before going on the road to play Fresno State and Oregon State. Make this happen.
Washington State had a great week. The Pac-12 is like putting the band back together, but with new players. The team made a goal line stand that will go down in history during an exciting 24–19 win over Washington.
Cougars have dreams that are really, really big. It has a win over UW and a loss to Texas Tech on its record.
They may have away games against Boise State, Fresno State, and Oregon State, but they may be good enough to get through those and still be in the running for the College Football Playoff.
It would be enough to just beat San Jose State to get off to a 4-0 start.

Why San Jose State Will Win
Who is it that says Niumatalolo does not know how to coach?
Is the way San Jose State Navy just runs and runs like the Navy? Very, very no.
QB Emmett Brown and WR Nick Nash work well together to make an offence that throws for more than 300 yards per game on average.
The defence is also very good. They have taken away ten passes so far and only given up 248 yards per game.
So far, Washington State’s pass defence has not been great, but that is partly because it played Texas Tech and Washington. But…
Why Washington State Will Win
The Cougars’ offence has been great.
Sacramento State, Air Force, and Kennesaw State are the only schools that have seen a passing attack yet. It is about to enjoy taking care of a dangerous one.
The Wazzu defence is not very good, but that is just the competition.
The offence put up a lot of points against Portland State, but there were also over 300 yards on the ground against the Red Raiders and 245 yards through the air against Washington.
Washington State vs San Jose State: Who Will Win
They should score points and fire back and forth for a while, but Washington State will be too steady.
They will have a tough defence up front, but the Cougar will wake up from their Washington win celebrations in time to take over in the middle of the third quarter.
