There's so much to see. Several rewinds of the Crimson & Gray Game have led me to some new conclusions, and reinforced some initial impressions, about what we saw. Observations about sacks and the o-line, passing yards and QB play, defensive prowess and more, come into sharper focus when you slow it down and watch it all a few times. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286196.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286196.html Tue, 07 May 2013 13:55:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate AS HE SAT in the stands at Joe Albi Stadium last Saturday, several thoughts raced through Hall of Fame Washington State quarterback Jack Thompson’s mind. First off, that Cougar quarterbacks have some serious potential. And second, he kept asking himself “where in the heck was this offense in my playing days?” http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287225.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1287225.html Sun, 28 Apr 2013 21:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Spring Ball at Washington State concluded Tuesday on a very high note for Connor Halliday and the offense. Head man Mike Leach was highly pleased with his team’s offensive production on the day and named several players who were pleasant surprises this spring -- two of whom reside in the defensive secondary and had picks on the day. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286328.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1286328.html Wed, 24 Apr 2013 03:14:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate MORE ARE COMING, but here's a 10-shot sample of some of the sights and scenes in Spokane on Saturday as the Cougars battled each other to a near-draw under sunny skies and in the face of serious wind. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285603.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285603.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 22:31:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPOKANE – College football players love to “bet” on their final spring scrimmages. No money changes hands, of course -- that is an NCAA no-no -- and “bets” often consist of little more than the right to brag in the locker room for a week or two. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285545.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285545.html Sun, 21 Apr 2013 17:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate ROBERT LEWIS, THE one-time grayshirt who arrived in Pullman in January, is indeed as fast as advertised. His wheels are among the attractions Cougar fans ought to look for Saturday when Mike Leach lines up his troops in Spokane for the annual Crimson & Gray Game. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285151.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285151.html Sat, 20 Apr 2013 01:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State coach Mike Leach hates the word balance when it comes to describing his offense. But in terms of dividing the roster during Thursday’s practice in anticipation of Saturday’s scrimmage at Spokane’s Joe Albi Stadium, that is exactly what he is seeking. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284932.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284932.html Fri, 19 Apr 2013 03:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Twelve practices in, the Cougar offense looked to have found its bearings on Tuesday. Regardless of the signal caller, the Cougs took to the air Tuesday afternoon and were efficient throughout. Both quarterbacks threw multiple touchdowns, and neither turned the ball over. Also, Rickey Galvin offers some insight to his hybrid role with the offense. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284286.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1284286.html Wed, 17 Apr 2013 02:47:00 GMT 1 137 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 MIKE LEACH has some serious powers of concentration. As hail pelted down upon him and the wind continued to howl after the Cougs' scrimmage, Leach answered questions as if it were bluebird weather out on the Palouse. Tucked into the blustery and nearly inaudible video at times, was Leach's answer on who would start at QB if the Cougs were playing tomorrow... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283539.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283539.html Sun, 14 Apr 2013 20:29:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Mom’s Weekend at Washington State on Saturday left the defense asking the offense ‘Who’s your daddy?’ WSU held their first extended scrimmage of the spring in Martin Stadium and the defense, by and large, got the better of an inconsistent offense. Both quarterbacks had their moments, particularly Connor Halliday, but the Cougs continue to search for their footing in the run game. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283361.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1283361.html Sun, 14 Apr 2013 00:04:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate WITH SPRING PAST the midway point it’s time to look at the position battles, starting with the offense.

On the other side of the ball, the Washington State Air Raid offense went bonkers, connecting on myriad of long touchdowns from both Connor Halliday and Austin Apodaca. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1282304.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1282304.html Wed, 10 Apr 2013 03:03:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN - It seems hard to believe but one-third of spring ball at Washington State is already in the books.

That, the hits of the day and more… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278281.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1278281.html Wed, 27 Mar 2013 02:12:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Saturday saw brighter skies and brighter play from the Cougs on the second day of spring practices. The QBs were slinging the ball and hitting receivers in stride all day. A familiar face was making big plays on defense, a new BUCK linebacker continued to make waves and an o-lineman is standing tall. And although we’re only two days into spring ball, one thing has become very apparent. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277358.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277358.html Sat, 23 Mar 2013 21:52:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Cougar signal callers were visibly knocking the rust off on Day One of spring ball, though the defense and weather didn’t make throwing the ball any easier. Among the fresh faces that impressed, a BUCK linebacker who was running like a deer and chasing down ballcarriers. We run down the offensive line two-deeps plus all the starters, talk to Cougar players and coaches and much more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276835.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276835.html Fri, 22 Mar 2013 02:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SPRING BALL in Cougarville starts today, offering fresh opportunities for young guns coming off redshirts, coming back from injury, or looking to build on last season's playing time.

He simply doesn’t have time, or, as he said, the expertise. After all, he is focusing on maximizing every moment of his second Spring Ball in Pullman, which starts Thursday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276421.html 2047 JENNIFER CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276421.html Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:47:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate
