Morning links: Cougars beat Wyoming

Here is your daily roundup of WSU coverage, plus game stories from around the Pac-12.

Shameless self-promoter that I am, I'm going to link our Spokesman-Review coverage first. Specifically, I'm going to link this very cool photo gallery, courtesy of S-R photojournalist Tyler Tjomsland, since he and columnist John Blanchette made the drive down from Spokane for the game. Blanchette chimes in with a column saying he's finding it difficult to get a bead on these Cougars one quarter of the way through the season. Finally, we have my game story, as well as game notes, the game book, a scoring summary, final statistics and videos of Mike Leach, Luke Falk and Keith Harrington, and Peyton Pelluer and Jeremiah Allison. We also have our Pac-12 roundup for a quick look at what happened elsewhere in the conference.

Elsewhere in the Cougarverse, SportsPressNW has a rundown of the WSU game. … Stefanie Loh has a story about WSU's emerging running back. … Jeff Nusser at CougCenter wrote a game recap.

And in the rest of the conference, Washington appears to have found its quarterback. … Oregon had some defensive issues in its win over Georgia State. … Colorado beat its instate rival in overtime. … California and UCLA each won major nonconference games by a single point. … Stanford upended USC. … Oregon State stuck with its ground game to come back against San Jose State. … Utah took care of business against Fresno State. …  Arizona had an easy win over Northern Arizona.
