The Washington State Cougars just got absolutely thumped 34-7 by Kansas State on Saturday, and that’s a tough pill to swallow for anyone repping the crimson and gray. Our Cougs went into the game at 12 p.m. ET, fighting early in the day, but it clearly didn’t go their way. This wasn’t some close nail-biter, folks, this was a dominant performance from Kansas State, making our guys look like they were still shaking off the offseason rust in Week 2. You gotta wonder what the hell happened out there to only put up a single touchdown. This isn’t the start any fan wanted to see.

LSU Battles the SEC, But The Real Fight is on the Field

Meanwhile, out in the SEC, LSU is still dealing with their “contentious battle” with the league, but they’ve gotta stick to the regular schedule. This Saturday night, they’re back at home in Tiger Stadium for a Week 2 matchup against Louisiana Tech at 7:30 p.m. ET. Louisiana Tech might be the underdog, but don’t sleep on them. They just put up a mind-blowing 80-6 win against Northwestern State in Week 1. Yeah, you read that right, 80-6! LSU had their own brutal 51-10 win over Clemson last weekend, so both these teams are coming in hot after blowing out their first opponents. You can catch that game streaming live on SECN+, which is included with ESPN Unlimited on platforms like YouTube TV, Fubo, and DirecTV, if you’re not getting it via your cable or satellite provider.

A Wild Week 2 Across College Football

It’s been a crazy Week 2 across the NCAA. Thursday kicked things off with No. 7 Miami hosting Florida A&M at 8 p.m. on ACC Network, and No. 23 Missouri facing Kansas at 8 p.m. on FOX. Friday had a full slate too, with No. 24 Louisville playing Villanova at 7 p.m. on ACC Network, and No. 25 Virginia playing Norfolk State at 7 p.m. on ACCNX. Saturday was stacked with action from coast to coast. Besides our Cougars getting shellacked, we saw No. 6 Oregon taking on Oklahoma State at 12 p.m. on ESPN/Disney+, No. 5 Indiana hosting Howard, and No. 2 Georgia playing Western Kentucky at 12:45 p.m. on SEC Network.

It’s clear some teams came to play this season, and others, like our Cougs, have some serious work to do after a rough Week 2. For Washington State, the sting of that 34-7 loss is gonna linger. They need to figure out what went wrong fast and come back with a whole new fire next week. Fans are gonna be demanding answers after that kind of performance.
