PULLMAN, Wash. — Things went sideways almost immediately in this one.
The Colorado State football team received the opening kick and the drive ended with a sack, which was the 17th allowed on the young Rams' season.
A shanked 26-yard punt followed and four plays later, Washington State was in the end zone.
That set the tone as Washington State quickly ripped through the Rams on the way to a 38-7 win.
The point totals allowed in the first two weeks weren’t good, but CSU’s defense often played better than scores would suggest after being put in some poor positions.
There are multiple truths in play right now. It’s true that this is a huge rebuild and some growing pains should have been expected. It’s also true that this first three weeks have been uglier than almost anyone would have anticipated.
