3. Get the crowd going early

Everyone knows that things get rowdy when you come into Pullman on a Saturday night. The Cougs will use this to their advantage in their first conference game at home against a team they can light up the scoreboard on.

Washington State is 20-3 at home since 2016 and has put up major passing numbers when playing in the friendly confines of Martin Stadium. With the team coming home undefeated and looking like they have a real shot at competing for a Pac-12 championship, expect a sellout crowd in Pullman this Saturday.

This game is also just one of two games at home until Nov. 16, so it will be the last chance for most fans to get out and watch the cougars play before Pullman gets down to freezing temperatures.

If the Cougs can flex their muscle early on in this game as they have in the past three games, the crowd could be a huge advantage against the Bruins.
