The recognition for Alfred is especially notable in light of the fact he was playing on the lowest-scoring Cougar offense in modern history. Five other Cougars -- including true freshman Travis Long -- earned honorable mention honors. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/927064.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/927064.html Tue, 08 Dec 2009 03:25:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate SEATTLE -- Linebacker Mike Ledgerwood was an afterthought on the recruiting trail back in 2008 when he was crackin’ heads in obscurity for a small high school in a rural conference. He is obscure no more. With a whopping 14 total tackles – 10 of them solo – he was an eye-filling bright spot for Washington State in an otherwise forgettable Apple Cup. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/924259.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/924259.html Sun, 29 Nov 2009 08:49:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN–Paul Wulff had high praise for his Cougars after the second practice session of the week yesterday. “Maybe (it was) because there was no school, we didn’t have 7 a.m. meetings, they had 10 a.m. meetings -- but our guys are getting better, and they’re working at it and I couldn’t ask for more than what they’re giving right now. They’re giving a great effort and working hard,” said Wulff. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918933.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/918933.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 19:52:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate WASHINGTON STATE stayed in the game throughout the first quarter. That was different than several games this season. But the Cougars still could not find a way to slow the opponent, in this case No. 25 ranked Notre Dame, during the second quarter en route to a 40-14 loss in their non-conference finale Saturday in San Antonio. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/915009.html 2047 CHRIS CHANCELLOR http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/915009.html Sun, 01 Nov 2009 03:57:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate IT'S NOT OFTEN you see two interception returns for touchdowns in a game. But Alex Hoffman-Ellis and Myron Beck pulled it off in the Cougs' victory over Southern Methodist and the CF.C lens was there to capture them, plus a whole lot more in this 32-shot salute. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/901461.html 2047 GREG DAVIS http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/901461.html Mon, 21 Sep 2009 19:35:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – Change was the operative word at Martin Stadium on Wednesday. Foremost, perhaps, was crispness of the workout -- the Cougars looked light years better than they did in Tuesday’s disappointing session. There were also a couple of noticeable personnel changes. On the offensive line, second-year freshman Tyson Pencer took some reps with the 1’s, switching off with Steven Ayers at tackle. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/892394.html 2047 BRAULIO PEREZ http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/892394.html Thu, 27 Aug 2009 03:04:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State seniors Xavier Hicks and Kenny Alfred, two of the clear leaders of this year’s Cougars, have a succinct message for the crimson faithful who are growing tired of the procession of national publications forecasting dour things for their team: Don’t believe everything you read. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/889468.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/889468.html Wed, 19 Aug 2009 17:07:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Kenny Alfred and Xavier Hicks came away from WSU’s first full scrimmage brimming with confidence. The offense, defense and special teams all had shining moments during a crisp, hour-long affair Saturday afternoon at Martin Stadium. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888738.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888738.html Sun, 16 Aug 2009 01:37:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Washington State coaches say only six players have pretty much locked up starting jobs for the Cougars’ Sept. 5 opener against Stanford. Meanwhile, in Thursday afternoon’s workout, two true freshmen continued to work with the ones and twos. And the catch of the day belonged to a senior with last name more known for throwing the ball. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888228.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/888228.html Fri, 14 Aug 2009 06:38:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Quarterbacks Kevin Lopina, Marshall Lobbestael and J.T. Levenseller all had their moments Wednesday afternoon, as did running backs Dwight Tardy, Logwone Mitz and James Montgomery. But don’t expect Wulff to name starters at those positions any time soon. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887810.html 2047 HOWIE STALWICK http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887810.html Thu, 13 Aug 2009 02:38:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate THE UPDATED WEIGHTS for the Cougar footballers are in. The numbers, as they were in the spring, remain striking. There are many who have gained 15-20 pounds, and more, since last year. Then there are players who put on the bulk before the spring, then trimmed and repackaged it this summer to add quickness. CF.C charts the progression from fall of '08, to the '09 spring, to today. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887163.html 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/887163.html Tue, 11 Aug 2009 15:48:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate SAFETY COULD BE an '09 thriller. Two playmakers, and Cougar veterans, are back in their starting roles -- as is a hard hitting second year Coug who made a strong '08 impression and logged four starts. Beyond that, potential, though unproven, is in the cupboard. A comprehensive CF.C positional overview at safety featuring analysis, insights, strengths & weaknesses, numbers, depth chart and more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/886308.html 2047 BARRY BOLTON http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/886308.html Sun, 09 Aug 2009 08:08:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate Hot News for FS Xavier Hicks http://washingtonstate.scout.com/a.z?s=137&p=9&c=2&cid=869617&nid=4214863&fhn=1 2047 the staff of Cougfan.com http://washingtonstate.scout.com/a.z?s=137&p=9&c=2&cid=869617&nid=4214863&fhn=1 Wed, 03 Jun 2009 21:17:02 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN--I watched every minute of every spring practice and in gauging position starters, it was probably the most consistent position on the Washington State defense, the safety spot. Xavier Hicks was an enforcer. Chima Nwachukwu continued to improve. A second year Cougar also solidified his position on the depth chart with his spring play. After those three, that's where larger questions begin. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/863643.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/863643.html Fri, 08 May 2009 18:44:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN - With the 15-practice spring football session now in the books, it's time to provide context, insight and analysis as Washington State now points to the upcoming season. First up, Cougfan.com takes a closer look at the Best of Spring 2009 -- including best hit, most memorable plays, best nickname, best quotes plus much more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/861561.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/861561.html Thu, 30 Apr 2009 17:58:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN – You can rest assured that Washington State’s injury situation on defense can't get any worse than it was Saturday in the final scrimmage of the spring football season. With some two dozen players out of action with injuries -- including way too many defensive linemen -- head coach Paul Wulff had to go with one tackle at times in order to keep players fresh. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/860135.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/860135.html Sun, 26 Apr 2009 05:54:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN--The final spring scrimmage at Washington State was held today and although a number of players who will start this fall sat this one out, one thing has been made crystal clear to Paul Wulff and Kevin Lopina -- the improvement this spring has been dramatic and across the board. Exclusive CF.C video highlights of the WSU scrimmage plus commentary from Wulff, Lopina and Xavier Hicks follows. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/859919.html 2047 KEITH CHAPLIN http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/859919.html Sat, 25 Apr 2009 22:36:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- Chris Ball, co-defensive coordinator for the Cougars, spoke at length in a recent conversation about the differences on defense between this spring and a year ago. Among the many topics discussed, where Cory Mackay fits into the mix on the defensive line -- is the redshirt freshman in the mix to potentially be named a starter by the time the Cougars open the seasons against Stanford? http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/856836.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/856836.html Wed, 15 Apr 2009 22:30:00 GMT 0 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN -- In the highlight play of the scrimmage portion of Washington State’s practice on Tuesday, running back Marcus Richmond made the defense pay. With defenders blowing into the backfield, quarterback Kevin Lopina fired a strike to Richmond in the left flat. The outside linebacker had overcommitted and Richmond turned on the burners to paydirt. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/854672.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/854672.html Wed, 08 Apr 2009 17:18:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate PULLMAN--The Cougs went indoors due to the elements Thursday but there were still heated battles aplenty in the trenches -- including a battle royale between DT Josh Luapo, all 321 pounds of him, and Andrew Roxas, the first team center in Kenny Alfred's absence. Meanwhile, Marcus Richmond found paydirt, Chris Ball talks Cory Mackay, Xavier Hicks, Chima Nwachukwu, influenza news plus much more. http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/853215.html 2047 LUKE HALLOWELL http://washingtonstate.scout.com/2/853215.html Fri, 03 Apr 2009 03:59:00 GMT 1 137 Washington State washingtonstate
