Washington State's fall camp continued on August 12 in Pullman, where offensive inconsistencies were apparent. Coach Kirby Moore noted the team put the "ball on the ground too much," indicating issues with fumbles and drops. The defense had the upper hand, intercepting three passes across the last two practices and recording multiple sacks, including from Ben Beatty and Isaiah Hung. Although the offense created some promising plays, including a notable 40-yard completion from Julian Dugger to Peyton Read, they struggled to convert opportunities, often failing in red zone situations. With less than a week into camp, the Cougars are still acclimating to a new playbook.
