All the hard work goes in, it turns out to be very effective – but someone else gets the tackle. But the No. 4 player on our list nonetheless stood out his first year at Washington State, and saved his best for last in 2012. For the 2013 season there’s less of him, but might that turn out to be more? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1299964.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1299964.html Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:44:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE BIG QUESTIONS in the coming weeks before fall camp for the Cougs will have a lot to do with the offensive line and the quarterback battle, and they should. But in looking at some numbers and trends, it might be the other side of the ball at Washington State that should also be holding the attention of Cougar Nation. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1288114.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1288114.html Tue, 30 Apr 2013 14:06:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE ANNUAL OFFSEASON fight for jobs at Washington State will continue long after Tuesday's final spring practice. And the coaches like to keep the battles open heading into fall camp -- more competition means better results. But here’s our take of where things stand on defense with 14 spring sessions in the books... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285927.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285927.html Mon, 22 Apr 2013 22:14:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THEY STAND QUIETLY, out of the limelight and on the sidelines while gallons of ink are being written about their Cougar teammates’ performances this spring. The following 11 players make our list of the most prominent Cougs who will be chomping at the proverbial bit to prove themselves come fall camp. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285117.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285117.html Fri, 19 Apr 2013 20:04:00 GMT 1 137 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 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 - It seems hard to believe but one-third of spring ball at Washington State is already in the books. The CF.C lens has been working overtime to chronicle the spring doings out on the Palouse - here are another 15 shots of the crimson gridiron action. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1279579.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1279579.html Sun, 31 Mar 2013 23:16:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE INTERIOR OF Washington State’s defensive line will look different this spring – some have gotten bigger and some have leaned up. Toni Pole, for example, has packed on 20-plus pounds. Ioane Gauta, meanwhile, has dropped nearly 20. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276410.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276410.html Wed, 20 Mar 2013 21:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – The Cougs return nearly everyone up front on defense this spring. And the 2012 season was a step in the right direction for Washington State on D. The defensive line, chock full of new faces, did an admirable job of stopping the run. With more fresh bodies and another year of experience, are the Cougs poised to make leaps and bounds in the trenches when spring drills kick off this week? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1275687.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1275687.html Mon, 18 Mar 2013 16:51:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SEATTLE – Arguably the best player on the team is graduating, but Washington State defensive coordinator Mike Breske isn't fretting over the loss of Travis Long. Instead, he's eager to preside over what figures to be a rollicking, multi-player battle this spring to succeed Long as the Cougars' starting BUCK linebacker. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270956.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270956.html Mon, 04 Mar 2013 23:01:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE KEY TO any defense is at the point of attack, and boy did the nose tackles ever show up in the Cougs’ 31-28 win over the Huskies. Nose tackles hardly ever get the stats or the glory. But it was impossible to miss their impact on Friday in the Apple Cup victory by Washington State. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1243007.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1243007.html Sat, 24 Nov 2012 03:05:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Until today, the last time Washington State led a game at halftime was nearly two months ago. Indeed, except for an unfortunate interceptionn that led to a Washington TD, WSU's Cougars played a first half to remember here today in the 105th renewal of the Apple Cup rivalry. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242945.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1242945.html Fri, 23 Nov 2012 22:15:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COUGAR STOP CORPS against Stanford did just that, allowing but 256 yards of total offense to the Cardinal. And that was both cause for optimism and regret for the Cougs and Mike Leach. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1234284.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1234284.html Sun, 28 Oct 2012 06:52:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State took to the practice field Tuesday afternoon amid some boisterous music intended to provide some extra energy. Unfortunately for the Cougar players, Mike Leach was not satisfied with the effort, noting that both offense and defense were bland in execution far too often. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1228466.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1228466.html Wed, 10 Oct 2012 03:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE BIGGEST TALKING POINT for Washington State coach Mike Leach recently has been his team's lack of leadership. Leach continued to discuss those issues and the Cougars' quarterback and offensive line situations during his Monday afternoon teleconference. WSU hosts California at 7:30 p.m. Saturday (TV: Pac-12 Networks). http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227859.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227859.html Tue, 09 Oct 2012 03:03:00 GMT 0 137 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 NUMBER OF tackles for loss by the Washington State defense is up significantly from last season. That's just one of the more intriguing numbers for the Cougs as they get ready to tangle on the road at UNLV on Friday night. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221607.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1221607.html Fri, 14 Sep 2012 22:36:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Reserve Logan Mayes pressure hard off the edge in providing the game's first turning point, contributing to an interception and nifty return by Cyrus Coen. A depiction of that play plus many more in this exclusive Cougfan.com photo essay of Washington State's win over Eastern Washington in the Cougs' home opener. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1219645.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1219645.html Sun, 09 Sep 2012 05:01:00 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 PROVO -- The beauty of being in the stands for a Washington State game is you can observe things you can’t on TV – rather than just the offensive backfield to part of the linebacker box, your field of vision is unlimited. I was in the stands at the BYU game and filed these observations with Cougfan.com via the phone and email. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1216788.html 2047 DAN EERKES http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1216788.html Fri, 31 Aug 2012 19:31:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
