They defeated Utah State in the 2017 Arizona Bowl but fell dramatically in 2018, finishing 3-9.

Signing day recap: Latest on top 2023 football recruits
Entering signing day, 270 of the top 300 prospects this cycle are committed. Day 1 of the early signing period has brought chaos, from Alabama landing two five-star defenders from the same high school to a five-star safety decommitting from Notre Dame and instead signing with Oregon. The Ducks made a massive leap up the rankings, while other teams, in turn, plummeted.
Cougars were invited to the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio to play the Iowa State Cyclones. "The 2019 season will be a great opportunity to build on a fabulous 2018 campaign," said WSU Director of Athletics Pat Chun. "There will be a great deal of momentum heading into next season and with a strong schedule, Cougar fans will be anxious for next August to arrive." Five-star safety Peyton Bowen announced he is flipping his commitment from Notre Dame to Oregon. The No. 15 overall recruit in the ESPN 300 is a huge get for the Ducks.

ASU. Don’t discount Herm Edwards’ defensive smarts, improved recruiting, and 75,000 fans on a sweltering night in Tempe. He Bears of the Big Sky were 2-9 in 2018 and are 5-16 over the last three seasons. SID Bill Stevens has not estimated the money figure the Cougars will send UNCO for their trip to Pullman, though the Bears received $325,000 for playing Colorado at Folsom Field in 2016. The Bears open 2019 against struggling San Jose State, so there's a chance the Week Two affair in Pullman features two 1-0 teams. Both will simulcast selected games on ESPN Deportes and Fox Deportes. Fox will televise the Pac-12 Football Championship Game on Friday, Dec. 6.
The Wolverines are winning in the transfer portal by landing several impact contributors for next year. ESPN 300 defensive end Joshua Mickens committed to Ohio State on Wednesday. Mickens gives the Buckeyes 13 ESPN 300 commits and 16 four-star recruits in the class. We tracked the latest news, analysis, class rankings movement and more throughout Wednesday.

Uiagalelei is the brother of former Clemson quarterback DJ Uiagalelei, who is in the transfer portal. Oregon flipped five-star safety Peyton Bowen earlier in the day. It now has 13 ESPN 300 recruits and is moving up the class rankings. AS FOR THE PAC-12 NORTH IN 2019, it shapes up as a bear for all six teams, and WSU drew the short straw in this scheduling cycle. The Cougars play Oregon and Washington – likely preseason top-15 foes – and California on the road. WSU also plays consecutive road games twice during conference play, though a bye week is sandwiched in between.
Coach David Shaw is tasked with replacing star back Bryce Love and WR JJ Arcega-Whiteside. The Cougars' past two wins over Stanford have been by three points each. A win is anything but assured when the Cardinal come to town. Washington State and all other Pac-12 teams have two bye weeks this season . The Cougs also have just one home game in October, what we are assuming will be Homecoming on October 19th against the Colorado Buffaloes. They’ll go nearly a month between games at home on the front and back end of that contest.
The two teams will meet for the first time since the 1988 Aloha Bowl when Washington State won 24-22. We broke down the 2023 recruiting cycle in many different ways.

On Wednesday, Kirby Smart's loaded defense got stronger with the addition of ESPN 300 cornerback Daniel Harris, who is ranked No. 157 overall. The Tigers flipped ESPN 300 defensive end Keldric Faulk from Florida State. The Bulldogs landed ESPN 300 recruit Isaac Smith, who is ranked 107th overall and is the No. 9 safety.
