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 SPOKANE - Washington State ran through many more plays than originally planned on Saturday. Here's more from the Cougs' Crimson and Gray Game. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285802.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285802.html Mon, 22 Apr 2013 15:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Here's something to tide you over between now and Thursday's practice report and video on CF.C -- 17 more exclusive photos from spring drills at Washington State... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280819.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1280819.html Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:43:00 GMT 0 137 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 – The CF.C camera shutter was clicking away as spring drills got underway at Washington State under skies that alternated between sunshine and snow. Here’s an exclusive 15-shot crimson and gray pictorial of the action… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277043.html 2047 ROD COMMONS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1277043.html Fri, 22 Mar 2013 19:32:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN–The defensive secondary has arguably the most question marks of any position group on D this spring. The Cougs return every player with the exception of Daniel Simmons, but the question begs -- who’s going to raise their game? The secondary struggled in 2012 and nothing seems concrete for 2013. There are reasons for optimism but will a true gem or two emerge and if so, whom might that be? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276749.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276749.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 22:18:00 GMT 1 137 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. Here are 10 intriguing youngsters to watch over the next month of workouts on the Palouse. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276554.html 2047 the staff on Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1276554.html Thu, 21 Mar 2013 16:32:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate ONE OF THE position battle royales to unfold this spring will be at free safety, where second-year sophomore Taylor Taliulu will square off against fifth-year senior Casey Locker. Taliulu is considerably bigger this spring but the physical change isn’t the greatest transformation for him this offseason. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1272129.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1272129.html Wed, 06 Mar 2013 16:47:00 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 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 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 -- 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 on Tuesday held their final full practice before they play for real Thursday night at BYU. The WSU coaches preached fundamentals and technique in a session highlighted by numerous drills and non-contact scrimmaging for the starters and key reserves. Mike Leach emphasized that the BYU tilt is just another game, and there’s no reason for the Cougs to feel overly anxious. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1215904.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1215904.html Wed, 29 Aug 2012 04:40:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State’s defense -- paced by a stingy secondary -- led a strong defensive performance during Thursday afternoon. Meanwhile, a couple of wide receivers returned to practice and made an immediate impact and another offensive lineman switched to the defensive side, raising further questions as to the depth in the trenches. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214329.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1214329.html Fri, 24 Aug 2012 02:32:00 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 came out Sunday lacking vigor, hustle and effort. Fighting sweltering heat, the Wazzu offense sputtered and failed to establish any sort of tempo. And Mike Leach wasn't pleased. He proceeded to make it very clear to the players that if the Cougs are going to go anywhere this year, it will be predicated on effort and hustle. Plus, a ST report and a corner was sporting a new cast. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212975.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1212975.html Mon, 20 Aug 2012 02:01:00 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 Cougars' offensive and defensive units seemed to have a much different response to their post-breakfast practice Wednesday. While the defense was fired up and disruptive -- they repeatedly knocked down passes -- the offense could not develop any rhythm. Running backs and quarterbacks alike could not hang onto the ball on countless plays during skeleton drills. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211847.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1211847.html Wed, 15 Aug 2012 21:15:00 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
