A meltdown of epic proportions in Charlottesville, Virginia for the Washington State Cougars. Boneheaded mistakes, presnap penalties, and a lack of offense allowed the No. 18 Virginia Cavaliers to erase a 17-7 halftime deficit to win it 22-20. Much like WSU’s (3-4) win over Colorado State, the offense couldn’t get anything going in the second […]

It would be fair to assume that, after declaring Friday’s preseason finale as a dress rehearsal, the starting lineup in that contest would be the starting lineup when the regular season opens.
