I agree that this is a trap game - a big one - but if our offense comes to play, I'm honestly not that worried. I do expect a below average effort though.
The fact is, the way to beat Washington State is to keep our offense off the field and control the clock for better than 2/3 of the game. While it's possible for a running QB to move the chains a handful of times, I seriously doubt they can go to that well for the full 60 minutes. Plus, unlike Stanford, we now know everybody is going to try to exploit us with that from here on out, so the first 3 runs won't be "free" this time.
The teams we have to be worried about are dominant running teams with maulers on the OL who can run the same play at us and rip off 5 yards a carry even when we know it's coming. Fortunately there aren't too many of them in this conference. If every team in the PAC plays their very best football, there's arguably only one team in the league that can beat us and it's Stanford - perhaps one or two others if Oregon etc. rediscover their running mojo.
Concerned, but not at all pessimistic. Hopefully the trap game idea is reaching our players and nobody's sleeping on this game.
