An exclusive look from CF.C at some of the drills, including Markus Dawes' vertical leap which generated plenty of oohs and ahs, Michael Bumpus, now with the Seahawks, returns to Pullman to lend support and weighed in, plus much more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/846695.html 2047 KEITH CHAPLIN http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/846695.html Thu, 12 Mar 2009 22:11:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The defensive game plan wasn't complicated. “The number one thing was to stop the run, the second thing was to stop the run, and the third thing was to stop the run. And we didn't," said Chris Ball. Call it what you want, the 63-14 loss Saturday to Oregon. Paul Wulff called it a landslide. Ball called it a nightmare. A Coug defender said it was his worst game of organized football. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/795482.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/795482.html Sun, 28 Sep 2008 22:07:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- As captured through the CF.C lens, Xavier Hicks, Marshall Lobbestael, Kenny Alfred, Adam Hineline, Greg Trent, Logwone Mitz, Michael Willis, Paul Wulff, Fevaea'i Ahmu, Brandon Gibson, Mike Graise, Chris Ivory, Alfonso Jackson, Dwight Tardy, Ben Woodard, Tyree Toomer and more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/795428.html 2047 TYLER TJOMSLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/795428.html Sun, 28 Sep 2008 19:19:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE MAY get back their starting punter for Cal, a trouble spot for WSU last week, with Paul Wulff cautiously optimistic Tuesday on the return to duty of Reid Forrest for Saturday. Also taking a wait and see approach during the practice week, said Wulff, will determine the availability of starting left tackle Vaughn Lesuma. The early week news wasn't as promising on two Coug defenders. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/786116.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/786116.html Wed, 03 Sep 2008 00:33:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Markus Dawes, recently back from surgery, made some picturesque leaping grabs during DB catching drills Sunday. He won’t start against Oklahoma State this week, but his work served as a metaphor for the Cougs’ entire corps of cornerbacks: They’re rounding into shape. Co-defensive coordinator Jody Sears says three have made the biggest case for starting but many could be in line for PT. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/782708.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/782708.html Mon, 25 Aug 2008 04:15:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougars displayed fresh legs and renewed enthusiasm Tuesday morning, when light rain helped bring cooler temperatures after a day off. Probable starters like running back Dwight Tardy, wide receiver Michael Willis and cornerback Alfonso Jackson saw action after shaking off injuries. Paul Wulff also brought in a Cougar great to speak to the players following the session. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/781076.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/781076.html Tue, 19 Aug 2008 22:17:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Paul Wulff the idealist wants his football team to be flawless after five days of practice. Paul Wulff the realist forces himself to take a deep breath and take a more sensible approach. "There were moments of really good stuff and not," the Washington State coach said after the Cougars practiced in full pads for the first time Saturday morning. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/777601.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/777601.html Sat, 09 Aug 2008 21:43:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- If the Cougars' voluntary summer workouts are any indication, Gary Rogers and Brandon Gibson feel right at home in Wazzu's new no-huddle offense. The duo combined for three touchdowns and a bevy of completions in a spirited skelly session earlier this week out on the Palouse. Meanwhile, a pair of tight ends also had very good receiving days. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/770037.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/770037.html Thu, 17 Jul 2008 18:52:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- In late afternoon heat beneath the long shadows of an enlarged frame that will house the new WSU scoreboard, the entire Cougar team was on this week to shake off any lingering rust from the holiday weekend. The offense has gone to a no-huddle, high tempo attack and on this day, they lived up to that billing and then some. A jam-packed report on the Cougs' voluntary summer workouts.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/768651.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/768651.html Fri, 11 Jul 2008 21:57:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Hey Cougs, Graise here. First off, I would like to tell you all thanks for the posts and great comments you have left on the Cougfan.com message boards. One of those was a question on the defensive line depth and performance the past few years. Here's what I think of that ... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/764142.html 2047 MIKE GRAISE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/764142.html Sun, 22 Jun 2008 23:22:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN- The learning process is in full swing out on the Palouse, as the coaches continue to tweak the personnel groupings on both sides of the ball, while injuries are taking their toll with one position undeniably the hardest hit. Meanwhile, Gary Rogers continued to put points up on the board while Chima Nwachukwu turned in a multi-interception day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/742515.html 2047 BYRON DIKE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/742515.html Tue, 01 Apr 2008 16:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs kicked off the second week of spring ball in helmets, shoulder pads and shorts. The coaches put a heavy emphasis on fundamentals, but the big story of the day was a surprising position swap in the defensive backfield. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/740350.html 2047 BYRON DIKE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/740350.html Tue, 25 Mar 2008 04:07:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN--The Cougs donned full pads for the first time on Thursday and for the most part, the offense ruled the day. Gary Rogers looked very much at home in the new, fast-paced offense and Daniel Blackledge turned in the catch of the young spring. Meanwhile, on defense, Markus Dawes looks hell bent on making up for lost time -- watching him do battle with Brandon Gibson has been a treat. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/739544.html 2047 BYRON DIKE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/739544.html Fri, 21 Mar 2008 17:58:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Washington State kicked off the Paul Wulff era of Cougar football Monday with the start of the spring practice season. The intensity was palpable and the new-look offenses and defenses appeared to sit well with the players. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/738489.html 2047 BYRON DIKE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/738489.html Tue, 18 Mar 2008 03:32:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate AMONG THE OFFICIAL VISITORS in Pullman this weekend to take in the Cougar experience was a 6-0, 231-pound linebacker with a penchant for tracking down ballcarriers and quarterbacks -- in nine games this season he has seven sacks and 13 total tackles for loss. And his visit to the Palouse? He says he loved every minute of it. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/700901.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/700901.html Mon, 12 Nov 2007 21:41:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- For the first time in a month, running back Chris Ivory has received clearance to return to the field according to his position coach, as did safety Alfonso Jackson. Meanwhile, all five quarterbacks were on target during a chilly Tuesday night session, but it was cornerback Devin Giles who came through with the play of the day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/699082.html 2047 KEVIN DUDLEY http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/699082.html Wed, 07 Nov 2007 16:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE leads the league in passing offense. But the true bottom line -- points on the board -- is another thing entirely. The Cougs are averaging less than 16 points per game in Pac-10 play -- an especially glaring problem in a league where the points pile up faster than I-5 traffic on a Friday. In a wide-ranging conference call today, Bill Doba offered insight on the points shortage. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/693458.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/693458.html Mon, 22 Oct 2007 19:20:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE THUMPING IN EUGENE ON SATURDAY, the Cougars' seventh straight conference loss, adds up to Thursday -- the team's first practice session this week -- being one huge psychological barometer. Are these guys going to fold their proverbial tents or gut it out? Are they going to point fingers or stick together? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/691347.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/691347.html Tue, 16 Oct 2007 18:45:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Charles Dillon was back in full-contact drills Wednesday and freshman Jeshua Anderson turned in a second straight strong showing this week in place of Brandon Gibson, who remains questionable for Saturday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/689441.html 2047 KEVIN DUDLEY http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/689441.html Thu, 11 Oct 2007 07:48:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs ended the first practice of the week less one special teamer, as punter Darryl Blunt has been suspended indefintely for "conduct detrimental." Injury claimed a defensive end. Plus, there's a change in the defensive tackle rotation, says line coach Mike Walker. And all that doesn't cover the half of it. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/686490.html 2047 KEVIN DUDLEY http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/686490.html Wed, 03 Oct 2007 03:59:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
