Entering Saturday’s game, the Cougars had posted just six sacks, which ranked No. 117 nationally. Against Hawaii, they posted four sacks and 23 total pressures.

It seems pretty clear that Wayshawn Parker is not close to 100% healthy, and that’s bad for the rushing attack, because the guys behind him are not close to a suitable replacement. I mean, just look at WSU’s first possession.

Al-Uqdah might have to share the credit for that interception, though. Hawaii quarterback Brayden Schager made that errant throw in part because he was pressured, flushed from the pocket, hurried as he made the pass that sailed into Al-Uqdah’s hands around midfield.
