The Bears are looking to start 2-0 in the Pac-12 for the first time since 2015.
The Cougars opened the season 3-0, including a 17-14 road win against then-No. 19 Wisconsin. They held a 27-15 lead entering the fourth quarter at home last week against Oregon before the Ducks scored 29 fourth-quarter points to win 44-41 . . . Coach Jake Dickert took over in Week 7 last season when Nick Rolovich was fired for failing to meet a COVID-19 vaccination mandate for state employees. Dickert is WSU’s first head coach with a defensive background since Bill Doba in 2003 . . .
Quarterback Cameron Ward, who passed for 4,648 yards and 47 touchdowns last season at FCS Incarnate Word, already has 1,102 passing yards and 10 TDs for the Cougars. Dickert, referring to Ward’s improvisational skills, said he “has magic in his hands” . . . Another transfer, senior linebacker Daiyan Henley, leads the Pac-12 with 8.5 tackles for loss and recently was projected by ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr. as a first-round NFL draft pick next spring.
