This is based on which of their guys played well in their first game against Oregon State based on their PFF game grades.
Strengths
1. #4 QB Jayden De Laura graded out very well in their passing game. His bread and butter against the Beavers was underneath stuff where he was 12 for 17 on passes under 10 yards. They took two deep shots to the left side and completed both for TD's. Beavers blitzed him about a third of the snaps and
2. #72 RT Abraham Lucas played 66 snaps at RT and did not allow any quarterback hurries. Best run blocking grade for the game too.
3. #3 RB Deon McIntosh McIntosh beat up the hapless Beavers to the tune of 144 yards on 18 carries for a gaudy 8 yards per carry average.
4. #1 WR Travell Harris Harris almost always lined up on WSU's left side. Both the two deep shot TD's I mentioned above were to Harris. They also threw to him seven times on short routes and completed six of them.
5. #9 WR Renard Bell Cougars usually lined Bell up on the right side against the Beavers and primarily threw to him underneath stuff, under ten yards, where they were 5-7 targeting him.
