And so the news that Jake Rodgers is transferring, likely to Eastern, isn't quite the hit it would have been in the past. But the Cougars will still lose experience and perhaps more importantly, versatility, with Rodgers' departure. Here's how the offensive line shapes up. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1293650.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1293650.html Wed, 22 May 2013 13:52:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE – Mike Leach had plenty to say. So did Mike Price. Leach offered up a number of spring ball nuggets including naming some of the top performers – a list that included two walk ons. He was also effusive in his praise on the Football Operations Facility under construction, saying it will be second to none in the Pac-12. Meanwhile, Price was also on hand to help kick off Spokane Week 2013. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283908.html 2047 STEVE CHRISTILAW http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283908.html Mon, 15 Apr 2013 23:54:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs are six days into spring ball and the position battles are heating up. Here's the latest from the Washington State gridiron, as seen from the CF.C lens.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280529.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280529.html Wed, 03 Apr 2013 23:43:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The Cougs return nearly everyone on the offensive line this spring. But the squad was undersized last year, clearly adjusting to a new scheme and mightily struggled to protect the quarterback and open holes for running backs. Mike Leach has promised robust competition in the trenches for 2013 -- will we see some fresh, young faces compete for immediate playing time starting on Thursday? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276055.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276055.html Tue, 19 Mar 2013 20:13:00 GMT 1 137 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 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 IT'S A TRUE FACT: This long-time CF.C staple has made but two appearances in the last four years. But irreverence is a terrible thing to waste, so the ol' standby is back for its inaugural run of the Leach Era. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222864.html 2047 BUZZY BOARDMAN http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222864.html Wed, 19 Sep 2012 20:11:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs practiced for nearly three hours Tuesday, working on nearly every aspect of the game and some new faces got some time with the 1’s. The quarterback position remains a question with both experienced Cougar signal callers getting time with the first team. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1223043.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1223043.html Wed, 19 Sep 2012 05:43:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE COACH Mike Leach generally has an interesting way of stating his thoughts. Sometimes that requires clarification. Leach was asked about his “tent over circus” statement, his thoughts on the development of a defensive lineman and, of course, the Pac-12 story of the week – injuries – during Tuesday’s Pac-12 coaches conference call. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222836.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222836.html Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:08:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE NO. 7 GENERALLY is viewed in positive terms dating back to the Old Testament. But when Washington State coach Mike Leach discusses the number, the subject quickly turns negative. He discussed that, the state of the Cougars' winless opponent at 1 p.m. Saturday, Colorado (TV: FX), why he wouldn't welcome a Pac-12 injury report mandate and much more during his Monday afternoon teleconference. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222534.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1222534.html Mon, 17 Sep 2012 21:39:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate LAS VEGAS – Mike Leach is an accomplished football coach, but his greatest skill might be his ability to answer a question at length without providing an answer. Alas, it is the reporter’s solemn duty to ask questions. So, Mike, who’s it going to be at quarterback next week – Jeff Tuel or Connor Halliday? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221747.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221747.html Sat, 15 Sep 2012 17:33:00 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 collisions are coming faster and the pads are crackin' louder as the Aug. 30 opener with BYU approaches. Here's another photo album from the 2012 fall camp at Washington State, with 30 exclusive pics from the CF.C lens... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211502.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211502.html Tue, 14 Aug 2012 21:15:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- If the early going of fall camp is any indication, the Cougs have some very good, very young players in place for down the road. Some even look to be ready to help contribute now, while others will be able to help most over the long haul by redshirting. In the last of a three-part series 10 days into fall camp, Cougfan.com takes a look at the future, both near and far. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211212.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211212.html Mon, 13 Aug 2012 23:08:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate CF.C SUBSCRIBERS, despite the voluminous amount of video and info provided by Annabel Stephan during WSU's early fall camp practices for CF.C, still had more questions. They ask, and she answers… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209032.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209032.html Mon, 06 Aug 2012 23:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Hello Cougar fans! I’m back with another installment of the summer offensive player diary on CF.C. This week will be an important entry because I will be focusing on the position group that deserves the most praise. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1195436.html 2047 ANDREI LINTZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1195436.html Sat, 16 Jun 2012 14:49:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Everything during the Cougs’ second scrimmage of the spring was moving fast, fast, fast – a microcosm of the spring itself. Here’s a look at some of the fast paced action from the CF.C lens… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1175444.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1175444.html Mon, 09 Apr 2012 02:21:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN — It was an efficient day of drills for the Cougars out on the Palouse Tuesday, with the defense dominating the final period of live action. Quarterback Connor Halliday returned to practice as a light participant and made some quality throws. Marquess Wilson absorbed two big hits, but held onto the ball both times. Special teams continued to be a focus -- with new drills being introduced. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1174137.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1174137.html Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:38:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE LIST OF preferred walk ons turning out for football at Washington State this week included a few surprises. Chief among them: Chandler Jenkins, the reigning KingCo 3A Offensive Player of the Year, who signed a letter of intent with the Air Force Academy in February. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1093868.html 2047 J.V.
