The No. 19 WSU Cougars are set to face off against the New Mexico Lobos in a highly anticipated game this Saturday. The Cougars are looking to secure a spot in the playoffs with a strong finish to their season, while the Lobos are hoping to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2016. Despite their record, the Lobos have shown improvement under new coach Bronco Mendenhall.
