WSU vs Portland State: Preview

The Cougars are playing host to the Portland State Vikings this weekend and it is the first game in the new Martin Stadium. There are a lot of new things to look at around the stadium but let’s hope the Cougars are lighting up the scoreboard to give us something else to watch and look at.

Portland State is in the Big Sky Conference in the FCS which is the same league that Eastern Washington is in. Last season when #2 ranked Eagles took on the Vikings, the Vikings almost escaped with a win but lost by 1 point.

Portland State has played against one PAC-12 school already this season as they have already taken on Oregon State. The Beavers won that game by a final of 29-14. The Vikings are looking to finally get their upset on a PAC-12 school while the Cougars are looking to finally notch a mark in the win category.

Since the Cougars and the Vikings are not both in the FBS I was not able to get rankings for the teams.

Below I take a look at each category in-depth and show which team has the better score in that category. In previous weeks I had been using information from last year but changed that up this week as I am only using information from this season.
