WSU’s defense has made most of difficult circumstances

PULLMAN — In his long college football journey, Keith Brown has learned the importance of tuning out the noise. During Washington State’s fall camp, he deleted all social media off his phone, understanding that if he wants he and his unit to reach their potential, they can’t get sucked into the distractions. Heck, he doesn’t always look at the scoreboard. Last month, in his WSU team’s home setback against Arizona, he went into halftime not knowing the score. He had to ask a teammate to find out, he said.
