The defense will be ahead of the offense when it comes to the early going – the offense takes longer to get their timing down. Of course, you end up throwing out a lot of the bromides when it comes to a Mike Leach team. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280478.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280478.html Wed, 03 Apr 2013 19:57:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Spring drills are underway out on the Palouse and Washington State is moving at full speed under Mike Leach. From the CF.C lens, here are 22 more exclusive shots of the Cougars in action. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278228.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278228.html Wed, 27 Mar 2013 13:40:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE OFFICIAL DEPTH CHART for Washington State this spring is out. The chart figures to be fluid as position battles and competition heat up but among the early notable notes, Bobby Ratliff is the No. 1 "Y" receiver, Rico Forbes and Matt Goetz man the starting right side of the o-line and Damante Horton sits atop the chart at one of the corner spots. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277094.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277094.html Fri, 22 Mar 2013 22:43:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COMPETITION will be wide open this spring across the board at Washington State but perhaps nowhere will the battle be as pitched as on the offensive line. A QB battle tends to get the most ink and the Cougs have one of those in 2013. But no area on the offense will influence the Cougars' win-loss record more this season than up front on the o-line. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270845.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270845.html Fri, 01 Mar 2013 21:44:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE IS right in the mix of things for a junior college offensive lineman who verbally committed to an SEC school earlier this year -- but in his own words, he now considers himself a soft verbal to that school. The mammoth offensive guard prospect with a Wazzu offer told CF.C he has an official visit date set to the Palouse, a great relationship with the Cougar coaching staff and... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235381.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1235381.html Wed, 31 Oct 2012 21:08:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate AS MYSTERIES GO, it's hardly the stuff of John Grisham or Scott Turow. But as college football offensive lines go, trying to follow the status of Washington State senior starter Dan Spitz over the last three weeks has led to more twists and turns than a day at Six Flags. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1226950.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1226950.html Wed, 03 Oct 2012 16:53:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State put the finishing touches on preparations for UNLV on Wednesday night as the entire Cougar team worked on fundamentals. The quarterback position? The offensive line? Question marks abound. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221061.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221061.html Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:20:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Given the Pac-12 suspension of junior safety Deone Bucannon, some new faces needed to step in Tuesday and staple down the Wazzu secondary. The quarterback situation remains questionable, but a front-runner seems to have emerged. Meanwhile the linebackers continued to shift around Tuesday with another new combination hitting the field. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1220681.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1220681.html Wed, 12 Sep 2012 02:29:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN–The Cougs may have taken a depth hit to the secondary as a freshman has not been cleared, Mike Breske said, though it might be temporary. A key d-lineman continues to progress with an eye towards reclaiming a starting job but another DL has taken his spot in the walking-boot brigade. And an o-lineman might be cleaning sand out of his shoes for about a week after a visit to the Leach Beach. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1218668.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1218668.html Thu, 06 Sep 2012 03:34:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The Cougs suited up under the lights Friday night for a quick run-through. But brief or not, Mike Leach showed that the Cougars’ starting lineup can always change and made a move up front -- as well as announcing a “rough” idea of what the starting lineup looks like on offense with just under a week to go before the opener against BYU. The game captains were also named. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214721.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214721.html Sat, 25 Aug 2012 16:21:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – After an early, exceedingly short walk-through practice Wednesday, it seems the perfect time to examine the position group that likely holds the most sway on whether the Cougs will be successful in 2012. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214007.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214007.html Thu, 23 Aug 2012 02:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WITH SCHOOL NOW in session at Washington State and the season opener against BYU just 10 days away, any and all position battles not yet decided will be soon – it’s time to get the starters reps and the offense and defense running like a well-oiled machine. Here’s the look from our chair at the position battles on offense and defense -- every starter, at every position, plus special teams. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213164.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213164.html Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:48:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN - The Cougs got out of the sun Friday, practicing at 8 p.m. for the first time this fall -- and one of Wazzu’s nose tackles returned to the field. Meanwhile, at least five true freshmen appear to be making serious runs at early playing time. Friday was a no-pads, helmets-only practice, and special teams were the focus. Oh, and junior offensive guard Niu Sale is the new punt returner. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212587.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212587.html Sat, 18 Aug 2012 06:20:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The audible concern surrounding the WSU defense dropped another decibel level after a pair of safeties turned in solid performances Tuesday in Martin Stadium. There were shark tales, too. Meanwhile, the quarterback picture looked less muddled, as Jeff Tuel received a majority of the snaps behind center. What did Mike Leach have to say about the ongoing position battle after practice? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211639.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211639.html Wed, 15 Aug 2012 03:49:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – In the first of a three-part series, Cougfan.com delves deeper into the first 10 days of fall camp to help put things into context and to lay out some of the broad strokes. Opinion, analysis, position battles, observations and more, starting with the WSU offense… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211090.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211090.html Mon, 13 Aug 2012 17:37:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Offense dominated the afternoon Saturday as the Cougars suited up for a live scrimmage for fans to enjoy. Senior quarterback Jeff Tuel and sophomore Connor Halliday were prolific, hitting a variety of wide receivers for scores all afternoon. Temperatures exceeded 90 degrees once again, but Washington State fans were not phased as more than 1,000 spectators attended at Martin Stadium. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1210730.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1210730.html Sun, 12 Aug 2012 03:07:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN - The Cougars are seemingly always in motion under new head man Mike Leach. So much so, it's a noteworthy occurrence when the CF.C lens can catch a guy standing still. Another 20 photos from the Cougs' early fall camp action out on the Palouse... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209270.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209270.html Tue, 07 Aug 2012 16:28:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Perhaps no position on WSU’s offense has more questions surrounding it than the Cougars’ o-line heading into fall camp. Though largely unproven, there are a number of front-line hogmollies that should have the Cougar Nation jacked up for 2012. Still, what about the depth and experience? And where do the most closely contested position battles figure to be? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207721.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207721.html Thu, 02 Aug 2012 19:02:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Cougfan.com takes a look at some of the burning questions surrounding the Cougars, both on offense and defense, as the team prepares to begin fall workouts... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207513.html 2047 Annabel Stephan http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207513.html Thu, 02 Aug 2012 00:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate A POST-SPRING DEPTH CHART was released by Washington State this week for Pac-12 Media Day. Keep in mind it doesn’t list any of the new arrivals, such as WR Gabriel Marks and NT Ioane Gauta for example, who are expected to challenge for playing time when fall camp gets underway Aug. 2. Still, it does yield plenty of intriguing data, starting with walk-on wide receiver Bennett Bontemps. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1205582.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1205582.html Fri, 27 Jul 2012 16:15:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate
