If the Air Raid offense hits its stride in 2013, some Cougar running back is going to post 60-plus receptions this season. That's more than the leading Coug receiver had all of last year. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1288293.html 2047 J.V. HOLLAND http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1288293.html Tue, 30 Apr 2013 23:39:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE - Washington State ran through many more plays than originally planned on Saturday.

For others, an unexpected opportunity at playing time has been taken to full advantage. Spring ball at Washington State has produced a number pleasant surprises on both sides of the ball. But these five really caught our eye. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284535.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284535.html Thu, 18 Apr 2013 13:43:00 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 WHAT MIGHT SET a Washington State running back apart from the group this spring is how well he performs after the catch. Much has been made about the Cougs’ season rushing totals in 2012 -- but that’s not nearly as important in the Air Raid as is something else… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277935.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277935.html Mon, 25 Mar 2013 22:05:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THEY ARE THIRD- OR fourth-year juniors, meaning they have maturity and perspective, but a narrowing window in which to make a mark before the cap and gown go on. For the four whom Cougfan.com has included on this list, the spring season is more than simple competition and preparation. For a variety of reasons, it's prime time in determining the direction of the rest of their college careers. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277341.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277341.html Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:49:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- With a deeper crop of running backs and presumably a more productive offensive line, is this the year the Cougar ground game blossoms and takes some pressure off of the Air Raid passing attack? Will the starting running back be on the field this spring -- or will he not arrive until the fall? What about blocking, and catching passes out in the flat? We take a look at all that and more… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1274575.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1274575.html Thu, 14 Mar 2013 19:58:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Mike Leach said the Cougs will be without a promising young cornerback for 2012, and possibly for good. The Cougs were also without two playmakers on offense for different reasons on Wednesday – and a new running back enters the mix. The Twitter drama isn’t over quite yet and some sumo wrestlers were spotted. Oh, and there was also some other action out on the practice field. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1233399.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1233399.html Thu, 25 Oct 2012 04:41:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Washington State’s quarterback situation, although seemingly set, became a little clearer during Wednesday’s practice. In the backfield, a running back that displayed burst at times last season could contribute when the Cougars play at 3 p.m. Saturday at Oregon State (TV: Pac-12 Networks). http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227537.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227537.html Thu, 04 Oct 2012 04:53:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougars are looking to hit someone in the mouth and in just over a week, they'll get their chance in the season opener at BYU. A look from the CF.C lens at more 2012 fall camp action at Washington State in this 25-shot pictorial.. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213905.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213905.html Wed, 22 Aug 2012 19:50:00 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 -- Torched for seven touchdowns in Saturday’s scrimmage, Washington State’s defense rebounded with its most complete practice of fall camp Monday. A unit that days earlier looked disoriented made a litany of big plays despite a front four depleted by injuries. The performance had one assistant coach raving after his unit slowed Mike Leach’s Air Raid Offense during the daily team session. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211302.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211302.html Tue, 14 Aug 2012 03:49:00 GMT 1 137 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.

We present an exclusive crimson and gray 20-shot fall camp pictorial of the action… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1210850.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1210850.html Sun, 12 Aug 2012 21:06:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The tenacity escalated at Rogers Field on Wednesday. Meanwhile, Jeff Tuel and Connor Halliday carved through WSU’s secondary before a goal line stand to end practice helped the defense to emerge victorious. The product of some back-and-forth 11-on-11 and a raucous environment had both sides buzzing by the end of the day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209855.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1209855.html Thu, 09 Aug 2012 03:34:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – It might be easy given the high-powered Air Raid passing offense to overlook the WSU running backs headed into fall camp. But that would be a mistake. For starters, the Cougars have depth in the backfield plus an innovative RBs coach entering his first year at WSU. A disciple of the Pistol offense, Jim Mastro’s group of Cougar running backs could indeed emerge early and often in 2012. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207673.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1207673.html Thu, 02 Aug 2012 15:56:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- One position group for the Cougars that had no problem with the wear and tear of spring ball, thanks to the ample depth, was the running backs. And according to running backs coach Jim Mastro, there was one back in particular who seriously raised his stock. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1180926.html 2047 ADAM LEWIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1180926.html Thu, 26 Apr 2012 18:51:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Spring drills at Washington State are entering the stretch drive but there are still plenty more storylines to be authored, and plenty more to see. Here's another 22 full-action photos from the CF.C lens... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1177940.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1177940.html Mon, 16 Apr 2012 21:24:00 GMT 1 137 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—The first real scrimmaging work of the spring at Washington State saw the offense and defense split success pretty well right down the middle. Touchdowns were thrown in Martin Stadium on Saturday, interceptions were hauled in, too. If you ask QB Jeff Tuel, the day belonged to the offense. Mike Leach, meanwhile, wasn't overly pleased by the Cougs' performance. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1173211.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1173211.html Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:51:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate
