Great addition to the schedule.
Especially since Baylor has had to reload what they lost after their Baylor/Gonzaga game in the NCAA title game.
Other years Baylor would be even stronger.
WSU can keep the game CLOSE, ALMOST WIN, JUST BARELY LOSE, AND EVEN MIRACULOUSLY WIN.
And as long as not blown out, competitive, etc, then even tho it's a loss, this game can help WSU get exposure, help WSU/Smith recruit, and can be a game that shows a good sign that WSU would have a good rest of the season, year.
WSU just doesn't want to either get blown out or snatch defeat from the Jaws of victory, as if that happens, that could pyschologically affect WSU, cause WSU to have a bad season.
