The 2005 Washington State Cougars football team represented Washington State University in the college football season of 2005-2006. The team was led by third-year head coach Bill Doba, and played its home games at Martin Stadium in Pullman, Washington.
Season
Washington State was picked fifth in the pre-season Pac Ten conference poll. They were even classified by some[who?] as a sleeper pick for the national championship, with Alex Brink at the helm. They started out the season 3–0, with blow-out wins over their opponents. Against Oregon State, Brink passed for over 500 yards, but his team still lost. The team lost their next three games, to Stanford, UCLA, and Cal, by a combined 10 points. Basically, the Cougars had an inability to close out football games, and that cost them.
