TGIF, WSU Fam. Hopefully our Cougs have frequent flier miles, because they’ve been pretty active this fall.

How many miles will the WSU football team travel this fall, you ask? How about over 16,000!

What all do we have in today’s Brew? Check it out below.

📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Another Business Trip. For a third straight game, the WSU football team hits the road for another battle with 18th-ranked Virginia on Saturday afternoon.

Tomorrow will be the Cougars’ first meeting against Virginia and just the fourth against an ACC opponent.

WSU is seeking  its first win over a Top-25 opponent since a 31-22 home win over No. 19 Wisconsin in 2023 and first road win over a Top-25 opponent since beating No. 19 Wisconsin in Madison in 2022, 17-14.

Kickoff is set for 3:30 PT on The CW.

🏈 Previewing The Matchup

🔼 Partnering Up. While October baseball is heating up in Major League Baseball, the Cougars are putting in the work to be ready for 2026.

This offseason, the WSU baseball program partnered up with the WSU Sports Science Lab to get an in-depth breakdown of their work.

🔼 Family Time. Former WSU hoopers Jaylen Wells and Cedric Coward spent time this past weekend visiting with some of the Cougar family during the trip to Ole Miss.

Great time seeing the former Coug standouts!
