The Washington State defensive coordinator, fit and energetic, seems like the type who might jump into contact drills without flinching. So it’s not hard to imagine him winning an arm-wrestling contest with Mike Leach -- unless the match is figurative and the outcome decides where Isaac Dotson will line up come August. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1293374.html 2047 ELENA OLMSTEAD http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1293374.html Tue, 21 May 2013 22:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate BELLINGHAM – Taylor Barton and his Northwest Elite Index team played host at Civic Stadium this weekend to nearly 50 high school athletes from Washington, Oregon and even Canada. Several players stood out, including a Lynden wide receiver and Meridian linebacker, both of whom will be in Pullman next month to participate in the WSU summer team camp on June 19. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291600.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1291600.html Tue, 14 May 2013 22:25:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate BEFORE SPRING BALL ended out on the Palouse, Washington State mic'd up defensive coordinator Mike Breske. In the video released this week by Wazzu, Breske talked about the need for the Cougar D to play fast, hard, together and smart, and more... http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1289063.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1289063.html Fri, 03 May 2013 15:57:00 GMT 0 137 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 PULLMAN – The Palouse is far removed from Hollywood in distance and mood, but Washington State defensive coordinator and secondary coach Mike Breske might as well have been sent to Pullman straight out of central casting. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285090.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1285090.html Fri, 19 Apr 2013 17:54:00 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 IN A CAREER that has taken him from the Sun Belt Conference to the WAC, the Big 12 to the SEC, and most recently the Pac-12, Washington State assistant head football coach Eric Russell has seen just about everything the college game can dish up. But when he looks to this summer, when the NCAA plans to loosen restrictions on recruiting, this seasoned veteran sees trouble. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270526.html 2047 GREG WITTER http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1270526.html Thu, 28 Feb 2013 22:00:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COUGS HAVE a pretty good base defensively from which to build on this spring – they return nine starters on defense. But is the starting lineup on D for 2013 settled? Not a chance. There is one, just one defenseman, who is a virtual lock. And what Wazzu needs to establish this spring on defense centers around two areas that complement one another… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269948.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269948.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 23:59:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE COUGS RECENTLY offered a pair of physical linebacker prospects who hold multiple BCS offers. One is from California, the other from Texas, and both hope to unofficially visit Pullman in the spring or early summer. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269875.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1269875.html Tue, 26 Feb 2013 17:03:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate HEADING INTO HIS official visit to Washington State, three star cornerback Darius Allensworth didn't know what to expect. But after 48 hours on the Palouse, he was singing the praises of the Cougar program, players and staff. The question begs, however, where does his commitment to Cal stand following his trip to Pullman? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1259477.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1259477.html Sun, 20 Jan 2013 22:00:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THEY SAY PROSPECTS should commit to the school, not a coach. But the reality in college football recruiting is that for some prospects, a coach is often the primary factor in their commitment. Take a future Cougar BUCK LB for example… http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1250054.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1250054.html Mon, 17 Dec 2012 19:23:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougs replaced their pads for hoodies and put on their sweats Sunday night for one of their most brisk practices of the season -- a theme of things to come? The quarterback situation is slowly being ironed out, while the defense prepares for a week full of pro-style offense reads and play-action passes with Stanford on tap for Saturday. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1232452.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1232452.html Mon, 22 Oct 2012 16:32:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougars came out Sunday night fired up and ready compete on every level. Whether it was individual drills, non-contact scrimmage, or dodgeball -- yes, dodgeball -- the team was out to win. A new face also entered the receiving corps, while another pass-catcher was absent from practice. Furthermore, the quarterback competition is back, and this time it may stick for a while. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1230116.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1230116.html Mon, 15 Oct 2012 06:10:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- The Cougars suited up Thursday for their final practice of the week before headed to Corvallis to take on Oregon State. A promising young defensive lineman, hampered by injuries most of fall camp, has come on strong in recent days. Thursday Night Football also showcased some big hits. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227709.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1227709.html Fri, 05 Oct 2012 02:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate IN EACH OF THE last three weeks I’ve asked myself the same question dozens of times during my work as the color analyst on the Cougar football radio network: Will the average fan know what I mean? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1223608.html 2047 SHAWN McWASHINGTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1223608.html Fri, 21 Sep 2012 17:47:00 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 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 PULLMAN – The Cougs held a rather lengthy practice Sunday, cracking pads for almost three hours with the majority of the session in drills. All things said, from Day One to this point, the Cougars have taken huge strides. But on Sunday, the offense never really gained any momentum, while the defense seemed disengaged for segments of the extended session. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1215056.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1215056.html Mon, 27 Aug 2012 02:33:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Washington State came out and attacked the gridiron with zeal aplenty on Monday. The Cougs were composed, motivated and enthusiastic, looking to rebound from arguably their worst practice the session before. And a junior o-lineman played the entire afternoon on the defensive side of the ball in the Cougs’ 3-4. Plus, the rosters have expanded with classes now underway at Wazzu. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213336.html 2047 JOE DOYLE http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/1213336.html Tue, 21 Aug 2012 02:56:00 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
