Is the wsu defense better than the offense ?
Brian Fremeau of footballoutsiders.com who compiles the FEI efficiency index wrote yesterday, "Washington State has generated more scoring value on defense this year than it has on offense."
He noted vs Oregon WSU had one of the most successful defensive performance by any team this year according to raw game splits.
He also calculates that WSU has a better chance of going into the apple cup undefeated (38%) than uw does.
He calculates that in degree of difficulty so far WSU has a strength of schedule in games to date of #62 and that is #11 of his top 20 teams, compared to #121 and #124 for the uw universities.
