2017 PRESEASON POLL

ABOUT WASHINGTON STATEWashington State is 9-3 for the first time since 2003 and is looking for its fifth 10-win season in program history (1997, 2001, 2002, 2003). WSU entered the Holiday Bowl ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press Top-25, No. 18 in the College Football Playoff Rankings and No. 21 in the Coaches Poll. The Cougars are making their third straight bowl appearance (2015 Sun Bowl, 2016 Holiday Bowl, 2017 Holiday Bowl), doing so for the first time since 2001-03 (2001 Sun Bowl, 2003 Rose Bowl, 2003 Holiday Bowl). WSU owns the nation’s second-rated passing attack and the country’s No. 15-rated defense that has forced 27 turnovers, sixth-most in the country.

MIKE LEACH AMONG NATION’S BESTHead coach Mike Leach owns a 122-80 record in his 16-year coaching career including a 38-37 mark in his sixth seasons at WSU, the fourth-most wins by a Cougar head coach. Leach was the first coach in school history to lead WSU to three bowl games in his first five seasons and joins Mike Price as the only Cougar head coaches to take WSU to three straight bowl games. In the last three seasons, the Cougars are tied with Washington for the 3rd-most conference wins (19) in the Pac-12, trailing only Stanford and USC each with 21. Leach, the 2015 Pac-12 Co-Coach of the Year and a George Munger Coach of the Year semifinalist the past two seasons, has seen the Cougar Air Raid lead the Pac-12 in passing in four of the five seasons, only finishing second behind Cal and Jared Goff in 2013. Earlier this season Leach was named The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week after beating No. 5 USC.

MIKE LEACH BOWL GAMESCougar head coach Mike Leach is making his 14th bowl game appearance and fourth with the Cougars. Leach owns a 6-6 career bowl game record (Leach did not coach Texas Tech in their 2009 Alamo Bowl win) and led Washington State to a 20-14 win over Miami in the 2015 Sun Bowl.

19 SENIORS EARN DEGREESBy the summer of 2018, 19 Cougar seniors will have earned their degrees. Seven (Dimry, Dotson, Falk, Lewis, Morrow, Pelluer and Salmonson) already walked and earned their degrees last Spring or Winter, nine more (DeRider, Ekuale, Hanser, Madison, McBroom, O’Connell, Parker, Powell and Wicks finished this fall and three more (Luvu, Pippins and Taylor) will have earned their degrees by next summer.

NINE COUGARS EARN ALL-PAC-12 ACCOLADESNine Cougars received All-Pac-12 Conference recognition led by first-team selections offensive lineman Cody O’Connell and defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa. WSU put multiple players on the first team for the third straight year, three in 2015 and two last season. Offensive lineman Cole Madison, safety Jalen Thompson and kicker Erik Powell were all named to the second team while offensive lineman Andre Dillard, quarterback Luke Falk, linebacker Frankie Luvu and running back Jamal Morrow all received honorable mention.

10 COUGARS EARN PAC-12 ALL-ACADEMIC HONORS (FULL BREAKDOWN ON PAGE 12)Nine Ten Cougars received Pac-12 Conference All-Academic honors. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point-average and appear in at least 50 percent of their team’s games. The 10 selec-tions are tied for the most in program history (2009) and WSU has had at least five players earn all-academic rec-ognition every season under Mike Leach. Wideout Brandon Arconado and linebacker Peyton Pelluer were both named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team, the first career honor of Arconado and fourth career accolade for Pelluer who has earned his third straight second-team honor. Eight Cougars received honorable mention; Nick Begg, Tristan Brock, Kyle Celli, Taylor Comfort, Isaac Dotson, Luke Falk, Dezmon Patmon and Trey Tinsley.

FRIENDLY CONFINES OF MARTIN STADIUMWashington State went 7-0 at home this season, the first, the most home wins in a season in program history and the first perfect home mark since going 6-0 in 2003. WSU’s season-opening five-game homestand was a first in program history, sweeping all five contests. The only other time WSU opened the season with more than three-straight home games was in 1907, with four.

COUGARS APPEAR AT NO. 21 IN ASSOCIATED PRESS TOP-25WSU enters the Holiday Bowl ranked No. 21 in the Associated Press and Coaches Top-25 Polls and No. 18 in the College Football Playoff Rankings. WSU was ranked as high as eighth prior to the game at California, the highest ranking since entering the 2003 Apple Cup No. 8 in the AP Poll. The Cougars opened the 2017 season ranked No. 24 in the Associated Press Preseason Top-25, the first time appearing in a preseason poll since 2002 (No. 11).

SENIOR CLASS LEAVES THEIR MARKThe 2017 senior class has left their mark on the Cougar football program over the last four seasons. The 20-mem-ber class has tallied 29 wins, made three bowl games, earned 14 All-Pac-12 Conference honors including five first or second team selections, set Pac-12 records for passing yards and passing touchdowns, and had two run-ning backs finish among the WSU all-time leaders in total TDs, rushing yards, all-purpose yards and receptions.

YOUNG COUGS TAKE THE FIELD WSU has seen 27 players make their debuts this season. 19 freshmen have made their first career appearance including six true freshmen, Jamire Calvin (WR), George Hicks III (CB), Tay Martin (WR), Zaire Webb (ST), Domi-nick Silvels (LB) and Will Rodgers III (DL). Three freshmen have recorded starts; Renard Bell (WR), Jahad Woods (LB), Justus Rogers (LB) and eight sophomores have started a game in 2017.

CALIFORNIA COUGS RETURN HOME Washington State’s roster features 37 players from southern California including seven from the San Diego area led by starting cornerback Darrien Molton (Temecula’s Chaparral HS) and starting WIL linebacker Jahad Woods (Helix HS). Other San Diego area Cougs: OL Cedric Bigge-Duren (Oceanside HS), WR C.J. Dimry (La Costa Canyon HS), WR Dezmon Patmon (Patrick Henry HS), LB Dominick Silvels (Patrick Henry HS) and RUSH Mason Vinyard (Helix HS).

The 35 passing touchdowns are tied for the fifth-most in program history while the 374.8 passing yards-per-game is the third-highest average. Defensively, the Speed D is tied for the fifth-most tackles-for-loss (98) in WSU season history while the 37 sacks are seventh-most and the 27 takeaways and 14 interceptions sit just outside the Top-10. Individually, quarterback Luke Falk has thrown the sixth-most touchdowns (30) and thrown for the seventh-most yards (3,593) while defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa is tied for second in single-season Top-10 for tackles-for-loss (21.5) and tied for 10th in sacks (9.5) and kicker Erik Powell owns the fourth-most 50+yard field goals (3), fifth-most field goals (19) and tied for the sixth-most total points (101) in WSU single-season history. The Cougars are looking to post wins over three Top-25 opponents in a season for the first time since 2003 (at No. 17 Colorado, at No. 10 Oregon, vs. No. 5 Texas).

SPREADING THE BALL AROUNDWashington State has averaged a national-best 9.8 receivers catching a pass per game this season, accord-ing to an unofficial survey from sports information directors. 10 (Montana State, Boise State, Oregon State), 13 (Nevada), 9 (USC), 8 (at Oregon), 10 (at Cal, Colorado), 11 (at Arizona), 9 (Stanford, at Utah) and 8 (at Washington).

In 2015, WSU was the only team in the country with 10 players with 20+ receptions and was the only Power-5 Conference team with two players owning double-digit touchdown recep-tions. Last season, the Cougars were the only team in the country with five players owning 40+ catches last year. This season, WSU owns eight players with 25+ catches, tied for the most in the country (New Mexico State).

FALK WINS BURLSWORTH TROPHY, NAMED SEMIFINALIST FOR DAVEY O’BRIENRedshirt-senior Luke Falk entered the 2017 season named to the preseason watch lists for the Maxwell Award (Player of the Year), Davey O’Brien (Top Quarterback), Johnny Unitas Golden Arm (Top QB - senior or 4th year junior) and Walter Camp Player of the Year. Falk was later named a semifinalist for the Davey O’Brien Award and after being named a finalist for the third-straight year for the Burlsworth Award (top former walk-on), won the award December 4 at a banquet in Fayetteville. Falk is the first Cougar to win a national award since safety Deone Bucannon was named the Elite Defensive Back Award by the College Football Performance Awards in 2013. Falk finished the regular season leading the Pac-12 Conference with 30 touchdown passes and sixth in the country with 3,593 passing yards and earned Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week honors twice.

FALK SETS PAC-12 AND WSU RECORDS (PAGE 27)Quarterback Luke Falk opened his redshirt-senior season completing his first 20 passes and going 33-for-39 for 311 yards and three touchdowns against Montana State. His second touchdown pass, a six-yard strike to Tavares Martin Jr. in the second quarter, was his 91st career touchdown pass, breaking Connor Halliday’s WSU touchdown passing touchdown record. Against Boise State, Falk passed Halliday’s WSU record for passing yards and Alex Brink’s WSU record for total offense. Falk followed with a 6-TD game in the win over Oregon State and then threw for 478 yards and five touchdowns against Nevada. He earned Davey O’Brien Quarterback of the Week after throwing for 340 yards and two touchdowns in the win over No. 5 USC and added three more touchdowns in the win at Oregon, passing Marcus Mariota for the second-most passing touchdowns in Pac-12 history. During the Colorado win, Falk broke Mariota’s Pac-12 record for career total offense and also became WSU’s all-time winningest quarterback, breaking Jason Gesser’s previous record of 24. In the win over Stanford, Falk threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns, breaking Sean Mannion’s (OSU) Pac-12 passing yards record on a short swing pass to Jamal Morrow in the second quarter. In the win at Utah, Falk threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns and his one-yard touchdown throw to Kyle Sweet in the second quarter, broke Matt Barkley’s (USC) Pac-12 career touchdown record of 116. Falk enters the Holiday Bowl with Pac-12 career records for passing touchdowns (119), passing yards (14,486), total offense (14,086), plays (2,306), completions (1,404) and attempts (2,055). The Logan, Utah native is the nation’s active leader in passing yards and passing yards-per-game (336.9), good for sixth-best in NCAA FBS history and his 14,486 career passing yards are seventh-most in NCAA FBS his-tory while his 119 career touchdown passes are tied for 10th-most.

Falk, winner of the award a WSU-record six times in his career, passed Sean Mannion’s (OSU) previ-ous passing record of 13,600 on a short swing pass to Jamal Morrow during the second quarter. Falk earned his seventh career fourth-quarter comeback victory and the first this season after leading the Cougars on an 11-play 94-yard scoring drive late in the fourth quarter, capped with an 11-yard TD to Jamire Calvin with 6:56 remaining.

FALK 4-0 AGAINST OREGON STATE, NAMED PAC-12 PLAYER OF THE WEEKLuke Falk was named Pac-12 Offensive Player of the Week after going 37-for-49 for 396 yards and tying a school record with six touchdowns in the 52-23 win over Oregon State. The Logan, Utah native went 4-0 against OSU, becoming the first Cougar quarterback to beat a team four times. Falk made his first career start at Oregon State in 2014, throwing for 471 yards and five touchdowns. Against OSU, Falk owns 1,689 passing yards, 22 touchdowns and two interceptions while averaging 422.3 passing yards per game.

FALK LAST SEASONLast season, Luke Falk was fourth in the country in passing yards-per-game (343.7) and passing yards (4,468), seventh with 38 passing touchdowns and a Pac-12-best 342.2 yards-per-game in conference play. Falk tied his own WSU single-season record with 38 touchdown passes and finished second behind Oklahoma’s Baker May-field for the nation’s highest completion percentage (.700).

HILINSKI DELIVERSRedshirt-sophomore quarterback Tyler Hilinski stepped in and came up big for the Cougars in the comeback win over Boise State. Hilinski relieved Luke Falk late in the third quarter and passed for 240 yards with three TDs, the last one coming as the game-winner in triple overtime. The Claremont, Calif. native stepped in for Falk again at Arizona, recording a pair of rushing TDs, 509 passing yards with two TD passes and four interceptions. It was career-bests for Hilinski who had only played extensively in the win over Arizona last season (15-17, 163 yds, 2 TD). In seven games this season, Hilinksi has thrown for 904 yards with five touchdowns and also rushed for two.

ALL-PURPOSE, ALL THE TIMEThe Cougar running backs own all-purpose roles and have taken the Air Raid offense to new levels. In the week one win over Montana State, redshirt-sophomore James Williams erupted with 208 all-purpose yards, catching 13 passes for 163 yards and two scores, setting WSU single-game records for catches and receiving yards by a running back. Also in the win, the backs combined for 354 all-purpose yards on 40 touches with three TDs, 157 rushing yards and 197 receiving yards. Against Boise State, Williams made a game-high 10 catches, redshirt-senior Jamal Morrow caught two TDs including the game-winner in triple overtime and redshirt-senior Gerard Wicks rushed for a TD in the second overtime. In the win over USC, the backs combined for 222 all-purpose yards led by Morrow who rushed for 91 yards with two TDs (1 rec, 1 rush). In the Oregon win, Wicks produced runs of 21 and 20 yards while Morrow opened the game with a 41-yard TD catch. Against Colorado, WSU rushed for a season-high 194 yards, Morrow later caught 10 passes for 83 yards at Arizona before tallying 136 all-purpose in the win over No. 18 Stanford. The backs have combined for 14 total touchdowns, 1,082 rushing yards (5.1 ypc), 981 receiving yards (132 rec) and 2,184 all-purpose yards, needing just 19 receiving yards to post their second straight 1,000-1,000 season in rushing and receiving yards.

EACH BACK MAKING A MARK (PAGE 25)Each Cougar running back has put their name throughout the record book. Jamal Morrow owns the WSU record for receptions by a running back (198) and good for third-most by any player in WSU history. Morrow’s 4,192 career all-purpose yards are third and 23 total touchdowns are tied for seventh in WSU history. Gerard Wicks is tied for fifth in WSU history with 19 career rushing touchdowns while his 21 total touchdowns are 10th and 97 career receptions are fifth-most by a running back. James Williams owns 61 catches this season, second-most by any back in the country, and needs just one catch to break Morrow’s WSU single-season record for catches by a running back. Williams’ 109 career receptions are third-most by a running back in WSU history.

Morrow has now recorded three-straight seasons of 1,000 all-purpose yards, and with 1,070 all-purpose yards this season, has moved into the Top-3 in school history for all-purpose yards (4,192), trailing only former All-Americans Steve Broussard and Rueben Mayes. He opened 2017 with 116 all-purpose yards, rushing for 89 against Montana State, caught two TDs against Boise State and rushed for 91 yards while rushing for touchdown and catching a touchdown in the win over No. 5 USC. He opened the win at Oregon with a 41-yard TD catch, added another 101 all-purpose yards with a TD run against Colorado and 10 receptions at Arizona. Morrow recorded 136 all-purpose yards in against No. 18 Stanford and caught another 10 passes in the Apple Cup. He enters the Holiday Bowl in the WSU Top-10 for career receptions (3rd), all-purpose yards (3rd), total touchdowns (7th) and catches by a running back (1st). Morrow needs 93 rushing yards to break into the WSU Top-10 for career rushing yards and become the first player in WSU history to be top-10 in receptions, rushing yards, all-purpose yards and total TDs. Morrow is just the second player in program history with three straight seasons with 1,000 all-purpose yards (Steve Broussard, 1987-89)

CAPTAIN MORROW COME ON DOWNJamal Morrow has served as the WSU game captain for the past 34 games and coach Leach revealed why in 2016. In August of 2013, Morrow was a contestant on The Price is Right, reaching a showcase showdown and coach Leach thought he would be good at the coin toss. Morrow began the streak in WSU’s double-overtime win at Oregon in 2015. The Cougars are 24-10 since, and Morrow is 11-4 in correctly calling the toss on road and bowl games, WSU is 7-4 when he wins a coin toss and WSU has been on the winning end of the coin toss 23 times in those 34 games with Morrow at captain, who won the coin tosses at Oregon, at Utah and at Washington in 2017.

HIGH SCHOOL DUO COMES UP BIGFormer high school teammates at Cathedral High School in Los Angeles, redshirt-freshman wideout Renard Bell and true freshman Jamire Calvin each reached milestones during the week two win over Boise State. Bell made seven catches for a team-high 107 yards for his first career 100-yard game while Calvin caught a 17-yard TD that started the fourth-quarter comeback. Against Nevada, the duo was at again as Bell tallied 113 receiving yards and Calvin corralled his second career TD. The southern California natives came up big in the win over No. 5 USC as Bell tallied a game-high 101 receiving yards and Calvin made three catches including a key 21-yard first down catch in the second half. Bell’s first career TD catch came at Oregon, he added another against Colorado before leaping to make an acrobatic 27-yard TD catch against No. 18 Stanford. Calvin answered Bell with the game-winning 11-yard TD catch to cap the fourth-quarter go-ahead TD drive late in the win over No. 18 Stanford. Bell owns 36 catches for 525 yards, a team-high 14.6 yards-per-catch, three touchdowns and three 100-yard games while Calvin has recorded 32 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns. Both were named to the SB Nation Pac-12 All-Freshmen Team, Bell to the first team and Calvin to the second team.

YOUNG WIDEOUTS NOTCH FIRSTSTwo more young receivers have settled in started to contribute to the Air Raid. Redshirt-sophomore Brandon Arconado recorded his first career catch against Nevada, made his first career start (H) at California before catching his first career TD against Colorado. A true freshman broke out against Colorado and has helped take the Air Raid to new eights since. Tay Martin notched his first career TD with a 50-yard catch and run against CU and finished with four catches for 78 yards in the win. The Houma, La. native stayed hot with two more TD catches at Arizona, racing 49 yards for the second score. Martin came up big again in the win over Stanford, catching five passes for 40 yards including a diving 17-yard reception on a critical 3rd and 14 that allowed the drive to continue and saw the Cougars drive 94 yards for the go-ahead score. Martin added a 33-yard TD catch in the Apple Cup and enters the Holiday Bowl with 24 receptions for 315 yards and four touchdowns. Martin was named to the SB Nation Pac-12 All-Freshmen Second Team.

SWEET DOUBLES AS WIDEOUT/PUNTERJunior wideout Kyle Sweet doubles as the Cougars starting Y receiver and punter. The Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. native started all 12 games at Y and is fifth on the team with 50 receptions for 481 yards and two touch-downs, including Luke Falk’s Pac-12 record breaking 117th career TD pass at Utah. Sweet who punted, kicked off and kicked field goals in high school, took over the punting duties last season, averaging 38.2 yards-per-punt on 32 punts while recording seven 50-yard punts and putting nine inside the 20. In 2017, Sweet has averaged 38.4 yards-per-punt on 32 punts with six of 50+ yards including a long of 61 vs. Stanford and seven inside the 20.

O’CONNELL NAMED CONSENSUS ALL-AMERICANOffensive lineman Cody O’Connell was named to the All-American First Team by The Walter Camp Foundation, Sporting News, and was named a Consensus All-American at right guard. He was named a second-team All-American by the Associated Press and CBS Sports, and to the All-Pac-12 Conference First Team. O’Connell, a unanimous All-American last season, is the first Cougar to earn All-America first-team honors in multiple sea-sons since kicker Jason Hanson (1989, 1991) and is the first player to earn first-team honors in consecutive sea-sons since running back Rueben Mayes (1984, 1985). The Wenatchee, Wash. native is the first Cougar offensive lineman in program history to earn first-team All-America honors in multiple seasons. O’Connell was named to the All-Pac-12 First Team after starting all 12 games at left guard for the nation’s second-rated passing offense.

DEFENSE CONTINUES TO MAKE STRIDES UNDER GRINCH IN YEAR 3The Cougar defense has turned into a force under third-year defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, who was named a semifinalist for the Broyles Award (given to the nation’s top assistant) this season. The Cougars enter the Holiday Bowl with the No. 15 ranked defense (313.6) in the country, fifth in the country with 98 tackles-for-loss and sixth in the country with 27 takeaways. The Speed D owns the country’s eighth-rated passing defense (167.4) and a pair of shutouts (Montana State, Colorado), the first time WSU has had two shutouts in a season since 1981.

HERCULES NAMED CONSENSUS FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICANDefensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa was named a Consensus First-Team All-American by SI.com, Walter Camp Foundation, Associated Press, The Sports News, ESPN.com, CBS Sports and SB Nation. The redshirt-junior from Lahaina, Hawaii and All-Pac-12 First Team selection is WSU’s first consensus All-American de-fensive player since defensive lineman Rien Long in 2002. Mata’afa is the first Cougar defensive player to earn All-America honors since Deone Bucannon in 2013 and is the first-team All-America defensive lineman since Rien Long in 2002. Mata’afa was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference First Team after leading the Pac-12 with 21.5 tackles-for-loss and 9.5 sacks, and also recorded 43 tackles with two forced fumbles and a fumble recov-ery. Mata’afa started all 12 games, recorded multiple tackles-for-loss eight times and earned Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week following the win at Utah after making eight tackles, five for loss, three sacks, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery.

MATA’AFA NAMED POLYNESIAN COLLEGE PLAYER OF THE YEARHercules Mata’afa was named the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year, the Polynesian Hall of Fame announced Dec. 12. The award is presented annually to the most outstanding Polynesian college football player that epitomizes great ability and integrity. University of Oregon and Tennessee Titans quarterback Marcus Mari-ota was selected as the inaugural recipient of the award in 2014, Notre Dame and Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman Ronnie Stanley was selected as the recipient in 2015, and University of Colorado quarterback Sefo Liu-fau was selected as the recipient in 2016. Mata’afa is the first Cougar defensive player to win a national award since safety Deone Bucannon was named the Elite Defensive Back Award by the College Football Performance Awards in 2013. Quarterback Luke Falk won the Burlsworth Trophy, given to the nation’s top former walk-on, earlier this month. Cougar legendary quarterback Jack Thompson was selected into the inaugural Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Class in 2014. “On behalf of the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Board of Directors and Selection Committee, we congratulate Hercules on this historic accomplishment,” said Jesse Sapolu, Chairman and Co-Founder. “He had an outstanding season and truly represents the very best of our Polynesian culture.” The formal presentation of the Award will be held at the Polynesian Football Hall of Fame Celebration Dinner (January 19, 2018), along with being recognized during the Polynesian Bowl (January 20, 2018) on Oahu, Hawai`i.

HERCULES NAMED SEMIFINALISTS FOR BEDNARIK AWARD, WALTER CAMP AWARD (PAGES 25-27)Prior to the season, defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa was named to the Bednarik Award and Nagurski Award Watch Lists, both given to the country’s top defensive player. Mata’afa was named one of 18 semifinalists for the Bednarik and one of 15 Players to Watch for the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award. Last season, the All-Pac-12 second team selection finished fifth in the league with 13.5 tackles including a team-high five sacks. The redshirt-junior opened 2017 with 1.5 sacks against Montana State, added three TFL’s in the win over Boise State and had tallied 2.5 sacks against Nevada. Mata’afa added two more TFL’s against No. 5 USC, had a pair of sacks at California, another sack against Colorado, two more for loss at Arizona and 1.5 against No. 18 Stanford. Mata’afa wrecked Utah, setting a career high with five TFL, three sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery, tying for the most TFL in WSU single-game history. The Lahaina, Hawaii native enters the Holiday Bowl leading the Pac-12 with 21.5 TFL and 9.5 sacks, fifth and ninth-most in the country, respectively. Mata’afa’s 21.5 TFL are tied for the second-most in WSU single-season history, trailing DeWayne Patterson’s record of 22 in 1993. Mata’afa also enters the bowl season as the Pac-12’s active leader in career tackles-for-loss (46.0) and career sacks (21.5), second in WSU history for TFL and tied for fifth-most in sacks.

LUVU LIGHTS IT UPSenior All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention selection Frankie Luvu has been a force at the RUSH linebacker spot this season and made the most of his final game in Martin Stadium. Luvu tallied 2.5 sacks in week two against Boise State, added two TFL’s at Oregon and recorded two sacks in the win over Colorado. Luvu came up big in the win over Stanford, his final home game, making three tackles and clinching the win with an interception on the final drive, his first career INT. What made it even more special was that Luvu’s parents, Veresa and Ia (ee-ah), had made the trip from Pago Pago, American Samoa for senior day, it was his dad’s (Veresa) first trip to the mainland. Luvu, who entered the season with seven career TFL’s and 1.5 career sacks, comes into the Holiday Bowl third on the team with 10.5 tackles-for-loss (tied for No. 12 in the Pac-12) and with 6.5 sacks (tied for ninth in the Pac-12).

LINEBACKERS LEAD THE WAYThe Cougar linebackers filled up the stat sheet the past two seasons led by two-time All-Pac-12 honorable mention MIKE Peyton Pelluer who finished fifth in the Pac-12 last season with 93 tackles including 7.5 for loss, two fumble recoveries and one forced fumble. WIL linebacker Isaac Dotson finished 2016 fourth on the team with 64 stops including six for loss. Both Dotson and Pelluer produced big numbers in the week two win over Boise State as Pelluer made a team-high 14 tackles to go along with a game-changing 36-yard interception return for touchdown while Dotson made a career-high 10 stops. Dotson missed the previous four games before making four stops in a start at Utah and added seven tackles in the Apple Cup.

FRESHMEN BACKERS STEP UPRedshirt-freshman Jahad Woods started at WIL linebacker the final nine games and came up big, highlighted by the game-high nine tackles against USC, forcing a fumble on his sack of Sam Darnold that was recovered by WSU to clinch the win. In the win at Oregon, Woods made seven more stops including 1.5 for loss, added six tackles against Colorado before making three tackles-for-loss and corralling a tipped pass for his first career interception at Arizona. The San Diego native made a game-high eight tackles including 1.5 for loss against No. 18 Stanford and added another eight stops and sack at Utah. Woods enters the Holiday Bowl second on the team with 61 tackles and 11 for loss including 2.5 sacks. Fellow redshirt-freshman linebacker Justus Rogers, a converted quarterback last fall, stepped in at MIKE linebacker and started four games before Dotson returned at Utah. Rogers posted nine-tackle games against California and Colorado, made six stops against No. 18 Stanford including 2.5 for loss with his first career sack and added two more sacks at Utah. The Bellevue, Wash. native owns 42 tackles, 6.5 for loss including three sacks. Walk-on redshirt-freshman linebacker Dillon Sherman has contributed as well, tallying 18 tackles in a backup role with four stops coming on kickoff. Sherman recovered a fumble during the comeback win over Boise State and made his first career sack in the win at Oregon.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

THOMPSON TURNS THINGS UPSophomore safety Jalen Thompson, an ESPN.com True Freshman All-American last season and All-Pac-12 second-team selection this year, took huge steps as a sophomore. Thompson opened 2017 with a team-high seven stops and recorded his first career interception against Montana State, added eight tackles against Boise State, made nine tackles against Oregon State and picked off two passes against Nevada. Thompson added four stops against USC and made a career-high 10 tackles and fumble recovery against Colorado. Thompson tallied six tackles including 1.5 for loss against Stanford before doing a little bit of everything in the win at Utah, making five tackles, recovering two fumbles before intercepting Utah’s hail mary to seal the game. The Downey, Calif. native leads the team with 69 tackles including 5.5 for loss, three fumble recoveries and his team-best four INT are tied for third in the Pac-12.

DALE LOCKS IN AT THE NICKELJunior Hunter Dale settled into the NICKEL position after two-time All-Pac-12 selection Shalom Luani moved on to the Oakland Raiders. Dale recorded a sack in the win over USC but produced his best game at Oregon, recording a career-high nine tackles, three for loss including a sack and a forced fumble. The New Orleans native added another TFL at California, five more tackles including a pass breakup against Colorado, batted down a pair of passes in the win over Stanford before picking off his first career pass in the win at Utah. Dale enters the Holiday Bowl with 44 tackles, eight tackles-for-loss, three sacks, an interception and a forced fumble.

RUN-IT-BACK-ROB ADDS ANOTHERSenior safety Rob Taylor has backed up his nickname “Run-it-back-Rob” with a couple touchdown returns for the Cougars. In his first season at WSU last year, the City College of San Francisco transfer earned Pac-12 Special Team Player of the Week after his 100-yard kickoff return in the win at Arizona State, WSU’s first kickoff return for score since 2003. Taylor was at it again against Boise State, scooping up a fumble after a sack and scrambling seven yards for the Cougars first touchdown of the game. Taylor picked off his first career pass against Nevada and added an interception and fumble recovery in the win at Oregon. At California, the San Le-andro, Calif. native made a career-high 11 tackles before tallying six tackles and recovered a fumble at Arizona. In the win at Utah, Taylor forced a fumble and picked off a pass and comes into the Holiday Bowl third on the team with 56 tackles, three interceptions and a Pac-12-best three fumble recoveries.

ERIK POWELL CLIMBING THE CHARTS (PAGES 20-27)Kicker Erik Powell rebounded from a tough start last season after missing his first five field goals, hitting nine of his last 10 attempts including both attempts in the Holiday Bowl. The Vancouver, Wash. native opened 2017 con-necting from 40 yards in the win over Montana State and added two more against Boise State, coming through with a 23-yarder in the second overtime. In the win over No. 5 USC, Powell came up big once again, connecting on field goals of 44, 33 and 32 yards including the final one proving to be the game-winner with 1:40 remaining. Powell was at it again in the win at Oregon, connecting on all four of his field goal attempts (25, 52, 47, 29) and added another 52-yarder at California the following week. Powell stayed hot with a career-long 56-yard field goal at Arizona, the longest by a Cougar since Andrew Furney’s 60-yarder against Eastern Washington in 2012. Powell added a 41-yarder against Stanford and four more field goals in the win at Utah. The lefty earned All-Pac-12 Conference second-team honors after going 19-of-23 including 8-of-10 from 40+ plus yards with three makes of 50+ yards (52, 52, 56). His 101 total points are tied for sixth in WSU single-season history. Powell owns 50 career field goals, 312 career points and a 72.5 career field goal percentage, all third in WSU history.

POWELL EARNS TWO STRAIGHT PAC-12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARDS, ADDS A THIRDKicker Erik Powell earned two straight Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week awards following the USC and Oregon wins. The redshirt-senior from Vancouver, Wash. picked up his third accolade after the win at Utah. Powell hit all three of his field attempts (44, 33, 32) in the win over USC with the 32-yarder proving to be the game-winner with 1:40 remaining. At Oregon the following week, Powell connected on all four of his field goal at-tempts (25, 52, 47, 29) with the 52-yarder being a career high to help the Cougars beat Oregon for the third straight season. Powell was the first Cougar to earn the award in consecutive weeks since Rueben Mayes in 1984 (Oct. 20, Oct. 27). Powell became the first Cougar to earn three special teams awards in a season after hitting four field goals in the win at Utah (44, 32, 28, 33) and all three extra points. Other Cougars to earn three special teams weekly honors in their career were punter Kyle Basler and kicker Drew Dunning while kicker Jason Hanson claimed the most with four.

INSIDE THE HOT STARTWSU started the season 6-0 for the first time since 2001 and was just the seventh 6-0 start in program history (1906, 1915, 1930, 1992, 1997, 2001). The Cougars opened the season with 30+ points in six straight games for the first time since 2001.

SPEED D, FALK LEADS COUGARS TO ROAD WIN AT UTAHThe Washington State defense forced seven turnovers and Luke Falk threw three touchdown passes in the 33-25 win at Utah. The Speed D picked off four passes and forced three fumbles to record the most takeaways since 2003 and Falk broke Matt Barkley’s Pac-12 record for career touchdown passes with his one-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter. WSU matched a season-high with 11 tackles-for-loss, recorded eight sacks, the most since 2006, and held Utah to just 62 rushing yards while kicker Erik Powell hit four field goals for the Cougars.

FOURTH-QUARTER COMEBACK LEADS COUGARS PAST NO. 18 STANFORDThe Cougars used a fourth-quarter comeback to knock off No. 18 Stanford 24-21 for the second straight season. Luke Falk threw for 337 yards and three touchdowns, breaking the Pac-12 career passing yards record along the way as WSU won back-to-back meetings against the Cardinal for the first time since 2006-07. The defense recorded 11 tackles-for-loss and held Stanford to a season-low 198 yards of total offense including Bryce Love to a season-low 69 yards on 15 carries. Falk engineered an 11-play 94-yard scoring drive, capped by an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jamire Calvin for the go-ahead score. The Speed D clinched the win with an interception with under a minute to play.

SPEED D SHUTS OUTS COLORADO, SECOND SHUTOUT OF THE SEASONWashington State recorded its second shutout of the season with a 28-0 victory over Colorado. The last time the Cougars posted two shutouts in a season was 1981 when WSU recorded three. WSU last shut out a conference opponent in 1981, 21-0 at No. 22 UCLA. The Cougars held Colorado to season lows in total offense (174), pass-ing yards (94), rushing yards (80) including 2.0 yards-per-carry. WSU rushed for a season-high 194 yards while Luke Falk tossed three TD passes including the first career TD catches for Tay Martin (50 yards) and Brandon Arconado (18 yards).

COUGARS NOTCH THIRD STRAIGHT OVER DUCKSWashington State posted a 33-10 victory over Oregon in Eugene to claim its third straight meeting against the Ducks for the first time since 1982-84. The Cougars also recorded back-to-back wins in Eugene for the first time since 1982 and 1984. Luke Falk threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns, Erik Powell kicked four field goals (25, 52, 47, 29) while the defense forced three turnovers, recorded 11 tackles-for-loss with four sacks, held Oregon to its lowest point total since 2009 and just 277 yards of total offense after entering the week averaging 537.4 yards-per-game.

COUGARS KNOCK OFF NO. 5 USCWashington State received big plays from all three phases to post a 30-27 win over No. 5 USC in Pullman. It was WSU’s first win over a Top-5 team since beating No. 5 Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl and first over a Top-5 team in the regular season since beating No. 5 Washington in the 1992 Apple Cup, also in Pullman. WSU saw running back Jamal Morrow rush for 91 yards and score two touchdowns (1 rush, 1 rec) while Luke Falk threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns. The Cougar defense held USC to just 327 yards of total offense, its lowest output since its 2016 opener against Alabama. WSU recorded five tackles-for-loss, picked off Sam Darnold once and forced a fumble off of Jahad Woods’ strip-sack to seal up the win. Kicker Erik Powell connected on all three of his field goal attempts (44, 33, 32) with the last coming as the game-winner with 1:40 remaining.

THE COMEBACKDown 31-10 to Boise State midway through the fourth quarter, Washington State rallied with 21 points in the final eight minutes to send the game into overtime. Redshirt-sophomore quarterback Tyler Hilinski got things going with a 17-yard touchdown strike to freshman Jamire Calvin to make it 31-17. Four plays later, Peyton Pel-luer picked off an errant BSU pass and raced 39 yards for the score, cutting the deficit to 31-24. With under three minutes left in regulation, WSU was forced to punt but Erik Powell’s punt landed on a Bronco blocker and redshirt-freshman Dillon Sherman jumped on the fumble. Three plays later, Hilinski found Morrow for a six-yard touchdown pass, evening the game at 31. In the third overtime, Hilinski again hit Morrow in the flat and Morrow scampered 22 yards before leaping over the left corner of the end zone for the game-winner. WSU matched the largest fourth-quarter comeback set back in 1984 after WSU trailed 42-21 to start the final period, scored 28 points behind a touchdown run from Mark Rypien, one from Rueben Mayes, a 53-yard scoring pass from Rypien to Mayes and finally a 22-yard touchdown run by Mayes to win 49-42 at Stanford.

PELLUER NAMED TO WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LISTLinebacker Peyton Pelluer was named to The Wuerffel Trophy Watch List. Pelluer was among the 109 players named to the watch list for The Wuerffel Trophy, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.” Named after 1996 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Danny Wuerffel from the University of Florida, the Wuerffel Trophy is awarded to the FBS player that best combines exemplary community service with athletic and academic achievement. Pelluer is a three-time Pac-12 All-Academic selection, twice named to the First Team, and has been involved with a number of community service projects through WSU Athletics.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

PELLUER NAMED PAC-12 DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEKLinebacker Peyton Pelluer was named the Pac-12 Conference Defensive Player of the Week after making a team-high 14 tackles and keyed a fourth-quarter comeback with his 36-yard interception return for a touchdown in the 47-44 triple overtime win over Boise State. Pelluer’s touchdown cut the BSU lead to seven and WSU eventually tied it with 1:44 left in regulation before winning in triple overtime. It was the redshirt-senior’s second career interception and his 14 stops were his eighth career double-digit tackle effort. Pelluer, a native of Sammamish, Wash., led a defense that forced four turnovers and scored two touchdowns (Robert Taylor 7-yard fumble return for TD) for the first time since 2013. Pelluer earned his first career player of the week honor and is the Cougars first defensive player of the week accolade since Shalom Luani earned the award in 2015 after his two-interception game against Oregon State.

POWELL, WOODS EARN PAC-12 PLAYER OF THE WEEK AWARDSKicker Erik Powell and linebacker Jahad Woods each garnered Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week awards after the win over USC. Powell was named the Pac-12 Special Teams Player of the Week and Woods as the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Week, the first time WSU claimed two conference weekly honors in the same week since Erik Coleman did so in 2003. Coleman earned both Pac-10 Defensive and Special Teams Player of the Week following the Cougars 31-13 win over No. 12 UCLA (10 tackles, 2 INT, 2 FF). Powell earned his first career weekly accolade after connecting on all three of his field attempts (44, 33, 32) with the 32-yarder proving to be the game-winner with 1:40 remaining. Woods earned his first career weekly accolade after making a game-high nine tackles and forcing a fumble on his sack of Sam Darnold that was recovered by Derek Moore to seal up the win. Woods, a redshirt-freshman from San Diego, was part of a Cougar defense that tallied five tackles-for-loss, forced two turnovers and held the Trojans to a season-low 327 yards of total offense.

COLLEGE GAMEDAY RECORDDating back to the beginning of the 2004 season, ESPN’s College GameDay has had the WSU flag appear throughout the show. The streak reached 208 after the appearance at the ACC Title game in Charlotte. Two flags – Ol’ Crimson and Gray – have been flown in the background of the GameDay set by dozens of friends and alumni. The Gray flag was added in 2014 after Whitey was retired in honor of Steve Gleason’s “No White Flags.” WSU recognized the GameDay flag wavers in a pregame ceremony prior to the Montana State game in 2010. In addition to the flags that fly, there is a traveling flag signed by the holders after each episode. The traveling flag is retired after each season, the first of which is hanging in WSU’s Alumni Center.

POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Washington State roster has seen an influx in Polynesian players since Mike Leach and his coaching staff arrived in 2012. The 2017 roster has 11 players who are of Polynesian decent including four who list their hometown from American Samoa.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SONFour Cougars share a unique bond with their dads and/or grandpa, each have worn the crimson a gray. Redshirt-junior left tackle Andre Dillard’s dad, Mitch was an offensive lineman and tight end for the Cougars in the late 1980’s; redshirt-senior linebacker Isaac Dotson’s dad, Michael was an All-American wrestler for WSU from 1983-86; redshirt-senior linebacker Peyton Pelluer’s dad, Scott also played linebacker for the Cougs, matching Peyton’s No. 47 from 1977-80; Peyton’s grandpa, Arnie played end for WSU in the mid 1950’s and his great grandpa, Carl Gustafson, played flanker in the 1920’s; and freshman quarterback John Bledsoe’s dad, Drew Bledsoe played at WSU from 1990-92, was the No. 1 overall pick by the New Eng-land Patriots in the 1993 NFL Draft and played 14 seasons.

10 COUGARS EARN PAC-12 ALL-ACADEMIC HONORS Nine Ten Washington State football student-athletes received Pac-12 Confer-ence All-Academic honors. To be eligible, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point-average and appear in at least 50 percent of their team’s games. The 10 selections are tied for the most in program history (2009) and the Cougars have had at least five players earn all-academic recognition every sea-son under head coach Mike Leach. Wideout Brandon Arconado and linebacker Peyton Pelluer were both named to the Pac-12 All-Academic Second Team, the first career honor of Arconado and fourth career accolade for Pelluer who has earned his third straight second-team honor. Eight Cougars received honorable mention; Nick Begg, Tristan Brock, Kyle Celli, Taylor Comfort, Isaac Dotson, Luke Falk, Dezmon Patmon and Trey Tinsley. Arconado earns his first career academic accolade after posting a 3.38 GPA and has yet to declare a major.

Begg earns his first career all-academic honor after producing a 3.18 GPA while majoring in marketing. The redshirt-junior defensive lineman recorded five tackles while appearing in all 12 regular season, recording his first career sack at Washington.

The redshirt-sophomore from Lake Forest, Calif. appeared in all 12 games as the field goal holder.

STEVE GLEASON RECRUIT SUITE IN COUGAR FOOTBALL COMPLEXWSU announced the naming of the Steve Gleason Recruit Suite, inside the Cougar Football Complex in 2016. Gleason, the Washington State Athletic Hall of Famer who played football and baseball in a Cougar uniform from 1995-99, was on hand as the room all future Cougar football players will walk through was named in his honor. The opportunity arrived courtesy of Cougar alumnus Glenn Osterhout’s naming do-nation of $250,000. With his pledge, Osterhout, a 1983 graduate who is a certified financial planner in Bellevue, was presented the opportunity to name the recruiting room inside the Cougar Football Complex.

COUGAR FOOTBALL BROADCAST TEAMHall of fame announcer Bob Robertson is in his 51st season calling Cougar football games, and according to a nation-wide survey of sports information directors, is the longest tenured radio announcer in the country with the next closest being Bill Hillgrove who has announced 47 straight seasons at Pitt. Robertson began call-ing WSU games in 1964 and with the exception of a three-year period in 1969-71, has been calling Cougar games ever since. Robertson now hosts the Cougars pre, halftime and postgame shows, while also providing analysis during the games. Matt Chazanow is in his third season as the play-by-play voice for Cougar football, men’s basketball and baseball broadcasts. Joining Chazanow and Robertson in the booth for his fourth season will be Cougar legend Jason Gesser who quarterbacked WSU to the 2001 Sun Bowl and 2003 Rose Bowl. Returning for her sixth season as the sideline reporter is Jessamyn McIntyre, an executive producer for 710 ESPN Se-attle.

LAST YEARDec. 27, 2016

Minnesota def. Washington State, 17-12 SAN DIEGO – Shannon Brooks caught a tipped pass from Mitch Leidner for a 13-yard, go-ahead touchdown in the third quarter and the Minnesota Golden Gophers, beset by turmoil after 10 players were suspended after a sexual assault investigation, upset Luke Falk and the Washington State Cougars 17-12 in the Holiday Bowl. It was one of the few exciting plays in an otherwise pedestrian edition of what traditionally has been one of the country’s most exciting bowl games. WSU cor-nerback Marcellus Pippins reached up with his right hand and deflected Leidner’s pass in the end zone but it went right to Brooks for the TD and a 10-6 lead. That capped an 84-yard, 10-play drive on Minnesota’s first possession of the second half. The Golden Gophers (9-4) were looking to regroup after backing down from a threat to skip this game if 10 teammates suspended after a sexual assault investigation weren’t reinstated. Their boycott lasted less than 36 hours, with university leadership never blinking. The players backed down amid pressure from many who read details of the al-legations. WSU (8-5) ended on a three-game losing streak and was held to its lowest point total of the season. The Cougars had scored more than 50 points four times this season, a school record. The Golden Gophers frustrated Falk most of the game, holding him to 264 yards - 86 below his average - on 30-of-51 pass-ing. Falk didn’t crack 200 yards until the final minutes, when he led a drive capped by an 8-yard TD pass to Kyle Sweet. After three tries due to Minnesota pen-alties, the conversion attempt failed. Minnesota then recovered an onside kick. Falk came in having com-pleted 71 percent of his passes in throwing for 4,204 yards and 37 touchdowns. The Cougars were ranked second in the nation in passing. Falk was intercepted by Adekunle Ayinde on fourth down with 3:05 left. That set up Rodney Smith’s 9-yard TD run with 2:06 left for a

17-6 lead. WSU lead 6-3 after a lackluster first half that included just three field goals. The Cougars couldn’t get their vaunted Air Raid offense going and crossed the 50 just twice, getting field goals of 26 and 41 yards by Erik Powell. Powell’s second field goal was set up when Nnamdi Oguayo hit Leidner and forced a fumble that Isaac Dotson recovered at the Golden Gophers’ 38. Minnesota got a 43-yard field goal by Emmit Car-penter in the second quarter.

TAKEAWAYMinnesota: The Golden Gophers had only 110 yards of total offense in the first half before finally coming alive in the second half. Smith gained 74 yards on 17 carries. He came in averaging 90 yards.Washington State: The Air Raid offense was a no-show. After Powell kicked a field goal to cap WSU’s first drive, the Cougars went three-and-out on their next four possessions. The Cougars had to settle for Powell’s 41-yard field goal at the end of the first half after Falk’s pass to Tavares Martin Jr. to the 1 was overturned after review.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State had lost its season opener the past two years to members of the FCS Big Sky Conference, but the 24th-ranked Cougars weren’t going to let it happen a third time. Luke Falk threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns, setting the school career touchdowns passing record, as Washington State beat Montana State 31-0 in the season opener for both teams on Saturday night. Cougars offensive lineman Cole Madison noticed his teammates were a lot more focused on winning the opener this season. “There was more urgency towards the game and winning the game,” Madison said. “We were ready to go.” Among those most ready was Falk, who completed his first 20 passes of the game as Washington State won a season opener for the first time under sixth-year coach Mike Leach. Montana State managed just 143 yards in the game, mostly on the ground. “We played a complete game tonight,” Falk said. “The defense played outstanding, having a shutout at home.” “Our whole defense played good,” Leach said. “We were pretty steady on offense. The steadiness and consistency was pretty positive for a first game.” Leach had lost all five of his openers since arriving at Washington State in 2012. Montana State suffered eight tackles-for-loss and three sacks and was unable to move the ball. “That’s a Top 25 football team for a reason,” Montana State coach Jeff Choate said of the Cougars. “Our inability to sustain drives on offense was kind of the story of the evening.” Falk completed 33 of 39 passes and was not intercepted. James Williams caught 13 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns. Falk completed his first nine passes on WSU’s first drive, the last a shovel pass to Williams, who ran 11 yards for a touchdown. The score allowed Falk to tie Connor Halliday for most touchdown passes in school history at 90. Falk’s streak of consecutive completed passes reached 18 with a 6-yard touchdown pass to Tavares Martin Jr. that lifted the Cougars to a 14-0 lead early in the second quarter. That allowed him to take sole possession of the school career touchdowns passing record with 91. Montana State got a break when Grant Collins recovered a Washington State fumble on the Cougars’ 43. But Luke Daly missed a 42-yard field goal attempt and Washington State led 14-0 at halftime. Jamal Morrow ran 29 yards for a touchdown to lift Washington State to a 21-0 lead midway through the third. Falk fired a 24-yard touchdown pass to Williams in the fourth for a 28-0 lead. Washington State was ranked in the preseason AP Top 25 for only the third time in the program’s history. NO PASS Montana State quarterback Chris Murray completed just 5 of 12 passes for a total of 28 yards, most of that in the fourth quarter. He also led his team in rushing with 55 yards. GROUND RAID Washington State had 511 yards of offense, including 150 yards on the ground. “They’re off to a nice start,” Leach said of his running backs. DON’T TELL LUKE Falk said no one mentioned that he had completed all 20 of his passes in the first half, and he did not realize the milestone. “We’ll celebrate this one tonight,” Falk said. THE TAKEAWAY The last time the teams played, Washington State escaped with a 23-22 win in Pullman in 2010. But Montana State’s run-oriented offense had little success against the Cougars this time. Washington State proved it could win a season opener, but the potent Air Raid pass attack that Leach is noted for had some stumbles against the Bobcats.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Jamal Morrow caught a 22-yard pass and dove across the goal line in the third overtime to lift No. 20 Washington State to a 47-44 comeback victory over Boise State. Officials reviewed the play to make sure Morrow remained inbounds as he ran toward the end zone on the left side and left his feet near the pylon. It was ruled a touch-down for Washington State (2-0), which trailed by 21 points in the fourth quarter. Boise State quarterback Montell Cozart came off the bench to spark his team for the second game in a row, but the Broncos (1-1) could not hold a big lead late. Both starting quarterbacks left the game. Cozart replaced Brett Rypien, and WSU’s Tyler Hilinski replaced an injured Luke Falk. After Hilinski was intercepted by Durrant Miles at midfield, Cozart threw a 47-yard touchdown pass to Cedrick Wilson on the second play and Boise State led 24-10 early in the fourth. Curtis Weaver recovered Falk’s fumble and ran 55 yards for a touchdown and a 31-10 BSU lead. Falk was injured on the play and did not return. Washington State fought back with three touchdowns. Hilinski’s 17-yard scoring pass to Jamire Calvin, and Peyton Pelluer’s 36-yard return of an interception for a touchdown cut BSU’s lead to 31-24 with 5:51 left. Washington State was forced to punt, but Erik Powell’s short kick hit Boise State player Reid Harrison-Ducros and was recovered by WSU’s Dillon Sherman on the BSU 24 with 2:51 left. Hilinski threw a 6-yard touchdown pass to Morrow, and Powell’s extra point tied the score at 31 with 1:44 left. In overtime, Boise State had the first possession and Haden Hoggarth kicked a 29-yard field goal. Powell replied with a 22-yarder to tie it 34-all. In the second overtime, Washington State’s Gerard Wicks scored on a 1-yard run for a 41-34 lead. Boise State responded with a 15-yard touchdown pass from Cozart to Wilson to tie it again. In the third overtime, Hoggarth kicked a 37-yard field goal for a 44-41 Boise State lead. Hilinski hit Morrow on the left side and he outraced defenders to the pylon for the winning points. Boise State’s Alexander Mattison ran in from the 4 on the Broncos’ first possession for a 7-0 lead. Rypien fumbled on a sack, and safety Robert Taylor picked up the ball and ran 7 yards for a WSU touchdown that tied the score at 7. Cozart, a gradu-ate transfer from Kansas, replaced Rypien late in the first quarter. Haden Hoggarth’s 34-yard field goal put Boise State up 10-7. Powell’s 20-yard field goal tied the score 10-all at halftime. Cozart scored on a 14-yard bootleg for a 17-10 lead late in the third.

Falk, the FBS active leader with 98 touchdown passes, completed 37 of 49 passes for 396 yards without an interception. Martin had 10 vatches for 194 yards. Jake Luton threw for 179 yards for Oregon State (1-3, 0-1), but was carted off the field in the fourth quarter with an injury. The Beavers have lost 14 consecutive road games dating to 2014. Martin caught a 21-yard touchdown pass for a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Oregon State’s Shawn Wilson tackled Jamal Morrow in the end zone for a safety, and Isaiah Johnson-Mack caught a 20-yard touchdown pass midway through the second quarter for a 14-2 lead. The Beavers’ Ryan Nall rushed 7 yards for a touchdown to cut the lead to 14-9. It was Oregon State’s first touchdown in more than three quarters of play. Washington State replied with Falk’s short touchdown pass to Martin. On the next possession, Oregon State punter Nick Porebski fumbled the snap and Gerard Wicks recovered, giving the Cougars the ball on the OSU 26. Falk’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Johnson-Mack put Washington State up 28-9 at halftime. In the third, Nall scored on a 45-yard run to cut the deficit to 28-16. Falk shook off consecutive sacks to fire a 57-yard touchdown pass to Martin for a 35-16 lead. Kyle Sweet added a 10-yard touchdown reception for WSU and linebacker Frankie Luvu ran a fumble back for a touchdown. THE TAKEAWAY OREGON STATE: Defense came in allowing 46 points per game and couldn’t stop the Air Raid. WASHINGTON STATE: Off to its best start under sixth-year coach Mike Leach. Falk has averaged more than 400 passing yards per game in four outings against the Beavers.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State quarterback Luke Falk said the Air Raid offense is a sight to behold when it’s clicking. It was clicking on Saturday against Nevada. Falk threw for 478 yards and five touchdowns, and No. 18 Washington State beat Nevada 45-7 for the team’s best start in 16 years. ‘’This offense can be a beautiful thing,’’ said Falk, who completed 36 of 47 passes and was not intercepted. Washington State (4-0), which opened the 2001 season by winning its first seven games, piled up 560 yards of offense and five sacks. Nevada, which also runs the Air Raid, was held to 151 total yards as the Wolf Pack (0-4) fell to 0-17 on the road against opponents in the Top 25. Nevada came in as a 28-point underdog. Washington State led 35-0 at halftime. ‘’I thought it was a really good first half,’’ said coach Mike Leach, who improved to 33-34 in his sixth season at Washington State. ‘’There were too many loose ends in the second half.’’ ‘’It was a good overall game,’’ Leach added. ‘’We improved on yards after the catch and making people miss.’’ Nevada coach Jay Norvell felt his team was overmatched by the Cougars of the Pac-12. ‘’This is the first game where I felt that we didn’t handle the physical matchup on the defensive line,’’ he said. ‘’Overall we didn’t mount much of a charge offensively to get us back into the game,’’ Norvell said. ‘’I was disappointed about that.’’ A 52-yard pass from Falk to Tavares Martin Jr. set up Falk’s 12-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Morrow in the first quarter as Washington State took a 7-0 lead. Falk’s shovel pass to James Williams went for 13 yards and a touchdown to put the Cougars ahead 14-0. It was the 100th touchdown pass of Falk’s career, passing Matt Leinart of Southern Cal for third in Pac-12 history. ‘’I think that’s a great team thing,’’ Falk said. ‘’It is humbling.’’ Nevada went three-and-out on its first three possessions and produced only seven yards of offense in the first quarter. Starting quarterback Kaymen Cureton was replaced by David Cornwell, but it didn’t help much. Martin caught a short pass from Falk and turned it into a 40-yard touchdown early in the second quarter for a 21-0 lead. Williams ran for a touchdown and Jamire Calvin added a 6-yard touchdown reception before halftime. Falk hit Martin for a 19-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Maliek Broady ran 3 yards for Nevada’s first touchdown with 1:56 left in the game. LABORS OF HERCULES Washington State defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa sacked Cureton on the first play of the game and had 2 1/2 sacks on Ne-vada’s first two possessions. ‘’We’re hungrier this year,’’ Mata’afa said of the WSU defense. ‘’We want to take the ball away from the offense.’’ STAT SHEET Nevada finished with 46 rushing yards and 105 passing yards. ‘’We’ve got to find a quarterback that’s going to make the right decisions for us, put us in the right plays,’’ Norvell said. For Washington State, Martin caught four passes for 114 yards and two touchdowns. Renard Bell caught four passes for 113 yards. ‘’He’s one of those guys that brings spark to the offense when we need it,’’ Martin said of Bell. THE TAKEAWAY The rebuilding project at Nevada under Norvell is starting slowly, with previous losses to Northwestern, Toledo and Idaho State. Washington State has finished the easiest part of its schedule, and the competition gets much tougher now.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

PULLMAN, Wash. – Mike Leach and his team were engulfed in a sea of crimson on the turf of Martin Stadium, reveling in a rare occurrence for Washington State football. An upset victory 25 years in the making was worth celebrating in grand fashion. And, it proved that these Cougars are true contenders for a Pac-12 title. ‘’It’s exciting. I’ll enjoy it tonight. I’ll probably enjoy it a little in the offseason,’’ Leach said. Luke Falk threw for 340 yards and two touchdowns, Erik Powell kicked a 32-yard field goal with 1:40 left and No. 16 Washington State beat No. 5 Southern California 30-27 on a wild Friday night. With the national stage to themselves, the Cougars showed they were legitimate, stopping USC star quarterback Sam Darnold and pulling off their first regular-season win over a top-five opponent in a quarter-century. The last time a top five team was handed a loss by Washington State was 1992 when the Drew Bledsoe-led Cougars rolled rival Washington in a driving snowstorm. Washington State (5-0, 2-0) had lost 15 consecu-tive home games against ranked opponents. This was its first win over the Trojans since 2002 - that game also finished in a 30-27 Cougars victory. ‘’We just showed that we were the better team tonight,’’ Washington State defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa said. Falk was excellent against the pressure from Southern California (4-1, 2-1) most of the time, but it was a key 35-yard run from Jamal Morrow that set up Powell’s winning field goal. Falk finished 34-of-51 passing, while Morrow added 91 yards rushing on six carries. The duo combined to give the Cougars the lead early in the fourth quarter, with Falk finding Morrow for a 23-yard TD on a shovel pass and run. The drive included a key third-and-6 conversion early in the possession and a fourth-and-3 on Falk’s pass to Kyle Sweet for 12 yards. ‘’I think it’s just a stepping stone. We expect to win games like this,’’ Falk said. ‘’Hopefully from here on out going forward guys will continue the tradition of competing in games like these. Right now it’s a stepping stone.’’ Darnold struggled through a miserable night. Darnold was 15-of-29 passing for 164 yards and an interception. He has thrown eight interceptions in five games after throwing nine interceptions all of last season. Darnold ran for a pair of touchdowns, including a 2-yarder with 5:01 remaining that tied it at 27. But he couldn’t pull off a final rally, fumbling when he was sacked deep in Washington State territory with 1:27 left. Falk took two kneel downs and the party erupted. ‘’We knew what they were going to run, it was just a matter of executing it,’’ Darnold said. ‘’They made more plays than we did.’’ Darnold had one drive in the fourth quarter that showed why he’s coveted by the NFL. He stayed in a collapsing pocket on fourth-and-13 and Tyler Vaughns made a leaping catch across the middle in traffic for 15 yards to the Washington State 27. Darnold hit Vaughns for 26 yards on the next snap and two plays later Darnold ran for a score. Playing without three of his starting offensive linemen, Darnold was flustered and at times appeared rattled by the pressure from Washington State’s defensive line. He was sacked only twice but was forced to move in the pocket regularly, disrupting the timing of the pass game. USC was already without starting left tackle Toa Lobendahn before starting right tackle Chuma Edoga limped off late in the first quarter after a wayward flea flicker that ended up being an intentional grounding penalty and a 14-yard loss. It got worse for the Trojans when Viane Talamaivao was shaken up early in the second quarter and also did not return. ‘’Got a bunch of hurt kids right now in that locker room,’’ USC coach Clay Helton said. Southern California’s Ronald Jones had 128 yards rushing and an 86-yard touchdown, but was mostly a non-factor outside of the long run. THE TAKEAWAY USC: The Trojans could not overcome injuries to a number of their starters. Along with being down three offensive linemen for most of the game, the Trojans played without starting outside linebacker Porter Gustin and starting wide receiver Steven Mitchell due to injuries. While USC has supreme talent, its depth is being tested. Washington State: The Cougars benefited from a solid defensive performance. They entered the week 18th in the country in yards per play. Take away Jones’ 86-yard run and the Cougars held the Trojans to under 250 yards total offense. TURNING POINT The biggest plays may have come from Washington State’s defense. Late in the first half after Falk was intercepted at his own 3-yard line, the Cougars defense held USC out of the end zone and forced a short field goal to take a 17-10 lead. The Cougars were able to pull even at halftime on Morrow’s 1-yard run with 13 seconds left in the half. RECORD WATCH Falk added to his list of Pac-12 records, passing Sean Mannion for the conference lead in pass completions. He also moved into a tie with Marcus Mariota for second in career touchdown passes with 105.

GAME RECAPS

EUGENE, Ore. – Eleventh-ranked Washington State can add a road win to this season’s resume, finally. Luke Falk threw for 282 yards and three touchdowns and the Cougars held Oregon scoreless after the first quarter for a 33-10 victory Saturday night at Autzen Stadium. The Cougars (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) were on their first trip after quirky scheduling gave them their opening five games in Pullman. The team is off to its best start since winning seven to start the 2001 season. ‘’It’s a starting point,’’ Cougars coach Mike Leach said about winning away from home for the first time. ‘’We play on the road again next week and we’re going to have to improve.’’ Erik Powell contributed to the victory with field goals from 25, 52, 47 and 29 yards. True freshman Braxton Burmeister made his first college start and threw for 145 yards and a touchdown for Oregon (4-2, 1-2). He also threw two interceptions. Justin Herbert started at quarterback for the Ducks to start the season, but he broke his collarbone in Oregon’s 45-24 victory over California last weekend. Running back Royce Freeman, who also left the game against Cal because of injury, started against the Cougars and ran 16 yards on his first carry. He finished with 62 yards rushing. ‘’They did their homework,’’ Freeman said of Washington State’s run defense. ‘’We’ve got to go out there and be more aggressive next time.’’ The Cougars were coming off a statement-making 30-27 victory over then-No. 5 Southern California last Friday night. The victory pushed Washington State to its highest AP ranking since the end of the 2003 season. ‘’One thing we can’t think about is being bowl eligible,’’ linebacker Hunter Dale said. ‘’We can’t get comfortable. We have to keep winning one week at a time. We also have to listen to our coaches and not the outside noise.’’ After Falk’s 41-yard touchdown pass to Jamal Mor-row on the Cougars’ opening play from scrimmage, the Ducks scored on Aidan Schneider’s 20-yard field goal. Oregon took the lead on Burmeister’s 30-yard pass to Jacob Breeland. Powell made field goals from 25 and 52 yards to give the lead back to the Cougars. The second one was the longest of his career. Falk threw a 10-yard TD pass to Renard Bell on Washington State’s first series of the second half for a 20-10 lead. Powell added a 47-yard field goal midway through the third quarter. Falk’s 25-yard touchdown pass to Isaiah Johnson-Mack opened the fourth quarter on the first play after the Cougars intercepted Burmeister. Powell added his final field goal with 1:41 left. Ducks coach Willie Taggart said he hugged Burmeister after the game, telling him he still believed in him. ‘’We didn’t play well around him. We have a lot of weapons that aren’t out there, and that hurts too, Taggart said. `We’ve just got to do a better job, you know? They beat us.’’ Washington State has won three straight against the Ducks after an eight-game winning streak for Oregon. Falk has thrown for 19 TDs with just two interceptions this season. He went into Saturday’s game ranked fifth nationally with 1,178 passing yards, an average of 343.6 per game (sixth nationally). THE TAKEAWAY Washington State: Coach Mike Leach was seen eating a banana on the field during pregame warmups, drawing a few comments on social media about whether he was poking fun at Oregon’s all-yellow uniforms. Oregon: The Ducks’ D sacked Falk four times. ... Burmeister competed this past week with Taylor Alie for the starting nod. Alie replaced Herbert in the Cal game, but left the game in the fourth quarter after it appeared he hit his head on the turf. Following Saturday night’s game, Taggart said Alie was not available to play, and that it became clear he was out on Friday. DEPLETED RECEIV-ERS: Burmeister’s debut was impacted by key injuries among Oregon’s receivers. Senior Charles Nelson remained out with a right ankle injury while Dillon Mitchell, who was also injured in the first half against Cal, was unavailable because of a concussion. NOT FOOLED: Leach said Washington State was prepared for either Burmeister or Alie. ‘’They did all that cloak and dagger, ̀ Guess who’s going to play?’ which we didn’t care because they have an offensive identity that they’ve had for a long time and obviously that guy was going to try and duplicate that.’’

47

BERKELEY, Calif. – Ross Bowers found a way to overshadow California’s opportunistic defense that forced seven turnovers and had nine sacks. An acrobatic flip into the end zone will do just that. Bowers scored on the touchdown leap and the Golden Bears used a dominant defensive performance to stun No. 8 Washington State 37-3 Friday night for their first win in 14 years against a top 10 team. ‘’I didn’t think I could go left or right so why not over the top,’’ Bowers said. ‘’Luckily I was able enough to land safely and all that stuff.’’ Camryn Bynum had two of California’s five interceptions against Luke Falk, and the Bears (4-3, 1-3 Pac-12) overwhelmed the Cougars (6-1, 3-1) for a signature win under first-year coach Justin Wilcox. Cal was just 1-52-1 against top 10 teams since 1978 with the only win coming over No. 3 Southern California in 2003 before breaking through against mistake-prone Washington State. ‘’There’s no bright spot. We were pathetic,’’ Cougars coach Mike Leach said. ‘’We’re a bunch of pathetic front-runners.’’ The Bears used short fields on their first four scoring drives before Bowers delivered the highlight of the night with his touchdown run early in the fourth that left the crowd gasping in amazement. Bowers scrambled and then bounded off two feet from just outside the 2. He did a front flip over Justus Rogers and fell in the end zone following the 7-yard run that made it 27-3. ‘’That was 11 out of 10,’’ Bynum said. ‘’That was really nice. That’s crazy.’’ Bowers, whose mother used to be the gymnastics coach at Washington, had scored on a similar flip in a high school game, and his mother once again was hoping for even more. ‘’She said the same thing to me after the game: `Why didn’t you do a double,’’’ Bowers said. ‘’It was the same thing. It’s like deja vu. It keeps her coming to the games.’’ The game was played in smoky conditions because of the wine country fires that had killed at least 35 people and destroyed at least 5,700 homes and businesses about 50 miles north of Cal’s campus. The tone for this game was set when Falk was intercepted on Washington State’s third play from scrimmage, setting up a field goal by Matt Anderson. The Cougars committed three turnovers in the first half, missed a field goal and had a 1-yard punt in the final minute of the half that set up a touchdown that made it 17-3 at the break. THE TAKEAWAY Washington State: Falk entered the game with two interceptions in 262 passes before throwing five against the Bears. He had one on his first pass, one in the end zone, another in the red zone on a botched shovel pass and two more overall. It was a rough day all around for Falk, who was repeatedly battered by Cal’s rush and lost a fumble that was returned for a TD by Gerran Brown after the ninth sack of the game. California: The Bears were held to minus-14 yards rushing in the first half before wearing down the Cougars behind bruising Vic Enwere. Enwere carried the bulk of the rushing load with Patrick Laird out with an injury and finished with 102 yards on 22 carries as Cal dominated the game in the trenches. QUOTABLE ‘’Our guys just sauntered around out there on the field like we’d accomplished something, which is obviously false, and Cal certainly illustrated that,’’ Leach said. ODD SEQUENCE Mitchell Cox’s 1-yard punt led to a key stretch to close the first half. The Bears took over at the Cougars 45 and drove down to just outside the 1 with 4 seconds to play. During a stoppage, a female fan ran on the field and sat down while holding a pink, stuffed pig. After she was dragged off by security, Wilcox decided to pass up the field goal and take a shot at the end zone, which paid off when Bowers threw a TD pass to Kyle Wells. ‘’You could take the points there but there was no discussion,’’ Wilcox said. ‘’I wasn’t thinking any other way. It’s 1 yard. We have to get a yard. Play to win the game and that was the decision.’’

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk threw for three touchdowns as No. 15 Washington State beat Colorado 28-0 on a rainy and windy Saturday night. Jamal Morrow rushed for 73 yards and a touchdown for Washington State (7-1, 4-1 Pac-12), which rebounded from a 34-point loss at California that coach Mike Leach called the worst game the Cougars have played in his six years there. “It’s an improvement,” Leach said. “Our team played hard. We missed some opportunities.” Leach acknowledged the weather was brutal. “The first half was pretty extreme,” Leach said. “The wind was blowing and all the swirling rain makes it tough.” Phillip Lindsay rushed for 98 yards for Colorado (4-4, 1-4), which was coming off its first Pac-12 win. Lindsay came in needing just five yards to top 1,000 for the season. “That was the worst offensive performance we’ve had since I’ve been a coach here,” Colorado coach Mike MacIntyre said. The Buffaloes completed just 13 of 34 passes for 94 yards and were held to 174 yards of offense. “Mainly they just whipped us,” MacIntyre said. “Washington State played great tonight.” Falk completed 17 of 34 passes for 197 yards. This was WSU’s second shutout of the season, after Montana State in the season opener. The teams had trouble moving the ball in the driving rain and the first quarter was scoreless. Colorado offensive tackle Jeromy Irwin was ejected for targeting on Washington State’s Derek Moore early in the second quarter. On the next series, Falk fired a 50-yard touchdown pass to Tay Martin to give the Cougars a 7-0 lead. After a Colo-rado punt, Washington State drove 81 yards, with Brandon Arconado catching an 18-yard touchdown pass for a 14-0 lead that stood at halftime. Colorado quarterback Steven Montez missed on his first seven pass attempts and the Buffaloes had just 82 yards of offense in the first half. Freshman Sam Noyer replaced him at the start of the second half. Morrow ran nine yards for a touchdown on Washington State’s first possession of the second half for a 21-0 lead. Falk added a touchdown pass to Renard Bell in the fourth.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

TUCSON, Ariz. – Khalil Tate, in his fourth straight spectacular performance, rushed for 158 yards and a touchdown and passed for 275 more and two scores, leading surprising Arizona to its fourth consecutive Pac-12 victory, 58-37 over No. 15 Washington State on Saturday night. J.J. Taylor gained 157 yards on 13 carries for Arizona (6-2, 4-1 Pac-12), including touch-down runs of 79 and 3 yards after Washington State (7-2, 4-2) had rallied to take the lead in the third quarter behind backup quarterback Tyler Hilinski. The loss knocked Washington State out of a tie with Stanford for first place in the Pac-12 North. The Wildcats, with just one conference loss, remain in the thick of things in the Pac-12 South with a big game at USC next weekend. ‘’I’m really proud that our guys put themselves in a position to be more relevant,’’ Rodriguez said, ‘’to have a lot at stake in the last month of the season.’’ Hilinski replaced Luke Falk late in the first half and ignited what had been a sputtering offense. The redshirt sophomore completed 45 of 61 passes for 509 yards and three touchdowns. He also ran for two scores but was intercepted four times, the last one returned 66 yards by Colin Schooler for a touchdown. Falk, on the brink of break-ing a couple more Pac-12 career passing records, played catch on the sideline and didn’t appear injured. Tate, the redshirt sophomore who took over at quarterback when Brandon Dawkins was injured and literally ran away with the job after that, was the first person to win three consecutive Pac-12 offensive player of the week honors. He had the kind of game Saturday night that might earn him a fourth. Tate carried 12 times with a long run of 82 yards and an average of 11.2 per carry. He also completed 10 of 17 passes with one interception to go with his two scores. ‘’He’s got a very strong arm,’’ Rodriguez said, ‘’but he’s got as good a touch on a deep ball as any quarterback I’ve had. He’s a tough guy. He’ll take a hit.’’ Taylor, a redshirt freshman who had his best game of the season, averaged 11.7 yards per carry. Tate’s lone interception of the night, by Jahad Woods, helped set up Hilinski’s 1-yard touchdown run that gave Washington State its only lead, 27-23, with 8:06 to play in the third quarter. Arizona needed two plays to regain the lead: Taylor’s 62-yard scamper, followed by his 3-yard touchdown run, and the Wildcats were back on top 30-27. The most significant plays came on the next two possessions. Hilinski drove the Cougars to the Arizona 8-yard line and put them on the verge of regaining the lead. But, being chased to the sideline, he threw into the end zone and was intercepted by Jace Whittaker. Two plays later, Taylor burst virtually untouched up the middle on a 79-yard touchdown run that boosted Arizona’s lead to 37-27, a potential 14-point turnaround. Freshman Lucas Havrisik, Arizona’s backup kicker, booted a 57-yarder as the first half ended to tie a school record. Washington State’s Erik Powell had a career-long 56-yarder. Arizona gained a measure of revenge from its 69-7 loss last season in Pullman, the Wild-cats’ most one-sided defeat since 1948. ‘’This game was about redemption,’’ Rodriguez said. THE TAKEAWAY Washington State: The Cougars have lost two of three and fallen behind Stanford and Washington in the Pac-12 North standings. With Falk being replaced, things are looking shaky for coach Mike Leach’s team. Arizona: Rodriguez was supposed to be on the hot seat but Tate has pushed the Wildcats firmly into contention in the Pac-12 North and must be one of the most spectacular newcomers on the college football scene this season.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk led No. 25 Washington State on a 94-yard drive in the fourth quarter that produced the winning points in a 24-21 victory over No. 18 Stanford. Washington State finished 7-0 at home this season, and stayed in the race for the Pac-12 North title. ‘’It’s been a great ride and we’ve just got to finish the ride,’’ Falk said. He completed 34 of 48 passes for 337 yards and three touchdowns, with one interception, and also became the career passing yards leader in the Pac-12. ‘’It was the same old Luke we have seen the last couple of years,’’ running back Jamal Morrow said. ‘’Calm, steady.’’ Wash-ington State likely needs to win at Utah next weekend and at No. 12 Washington later this month to win the Pac-12 North title. ‘’We’ve got a lot of work to do,’’ Falk said. Snow started to fall heavily at the end of the first quarter, hampering both offenses. Stanford hadn’t played in snow since a 1936 game against Columbia in New York. Morrow rushed for 66 yards for Washing-ton State (8-2, 5-2 Pac-12, No. 25 CFP), chewing up time at the end of the game. Bryce Love, slowed by an ankle injury, was held to 69 yards, his worst outing of the season for Stanford (6-3, 5-2, No. 21 CFP). He came in as the nation’s leading rusher, averaging 198 yards a game. ‘’I thought we really played hard the entire game,’’ Washington State coach Mike Leach said. ‘’It was a great team win.’’ Stanford coach David Shaw blamed himself for the loss. ‘’I feel like I let my team down,’’ Shaw said. ‘’I didn’t give our guys a chance to be successful today.’’ ‘’Offensively we didn’t get enough production from the passing game,’’ Shaw said after the Cardinal were limited to 105 passing yards. Stanford was outgained 430 yards to 198 in the game. ‘’We wanted to stick with the running game but we weren’t as efficient as we needed to be,’’ Shaw said. ‘’We should have mixed it up a little bit.’’ Love ran 52 yards for a touchdown on Stanford’s first play of the second quarter. But he rushed 15 more times for a total of 17 yards otherwise. Falk replied with a 12-yard pass to Tavares Martin Jr. to tie it. On WSU’s next possession, Falk threw a 27-yard pass to Renard Bell in the end zone for a 14-7 lead that held up at halftime. A fan jumped out of the stands after the touchdown and mooned the players in the end zone before being hustled away by security. Washington State drove to Stanford’s 13 on its first possession of the second half, but had to settle for Erik Powell’s 41-yard field goal and a 17-7 lead. Stanford quarterback K.J. Costello fumbled the ball after the snap, but it bounced back into his hands and he ran 14 yards for a touchdown that brought Stanford within 17-14 in the third. He completed 9 of 20 passes in his second career start. On Washington State’s next possession, the Cougars went for it on fourth-and-1 at midfield. But Falk’s pass was intercepted by Bobby Okereke and returned 52 yards for a touchdown that gave Stanford a 21-17 lead. Falk led the Cougars 94 yards, culminating in an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jamire Calvin, for a 24-21 lead with 6:56 left in the game. ‘’We focused on what we needed to do,’’ Falk said of the drive. Stanford went three-and-out and WSU chewed up more than three minutes of clock before punting the ball with 35 seconds left in the game. Frankie Luvu’s interception ended the Stanford threat. FABULOUS FALK: Falk came in needing 132 passing yards to break the Pac-12 career record of 13,600 set by Sean Mannion of Oregon State, and broke it easily. ‘’That’s pretty cool,’’ Falk said. ‘’I think it’s a team award.’’ He already holds league records for pass completions, pass attempts and total offense. He needs three touchdown passes to become the Pac-12 leader in that category.

SALT LAKE CITY – The Washington State Cougars are officially one victory away from being named Pac-12 North champi-ons, and their College Football Playoff hopes remain alive. Luke Falk threw for 311 yards and three touchdowns and No. 19 Washington State beat Utah 33-25 on Saturday. The Cougars are now one win from winning the North and playing in the conference championship game for the first time since the league created divisions in 2011. ‘’For the last three years, we’ve been right on the cusp of the thing,’’ Washington State coach Mike Leach said. ‘’We’ll see. This is a good group. We’ve won a lot of games in the Pac-12 in the last three years. We need to win another one.’’ Washington State (9-2, 6-2) led from start to finish and could have won by more, but settled for five field goals despite moving inside the Utah 30 on those possessions. The Utes turned over the ball on three of its first four possessions, all in the first quarter, but the Cougars found the end zone on just one of the extra opportunities. Utah (5-5, 2-5) had seven turnovers on the day and has lost five of its last six games. Chima Onyeukwu picked off Utah quarterback Tyler Huntley’s pass with 58 seconds remaining to seal the win. Falk set the Pac-12 career touchdown passes record in the second quarter. The Logan, Utah, native surpassed former USC quarterback Matt Barkley with his 117th touchdown pass and finished with 118. ‘’The only thing I’m after is a championship win and we’re one game away,’’ said Falk. ‘’If we do our job and put it in, it’s not as close of a game and we don’t have to put that stress on the defense. The ‘’Air Raid’’ offense was held in relative check by a stout Utah defense that was put in bad positions all game. It finished with 338 total yards and just 27 on the ground. Falk also threw two interceptions. Tavares Martin Jr. had 10 catches for 64 yards and a touchdown for Washington State. ‘’Our defense was lights out tonight,’’ Utah coach Kyle Whit-tingham said. ‘’But it wasn’t enough to overcome seven turnovers. Going minus-4 before (the Hail Mary interception), can’t win doing that. ... It could have very easily got out of hand in the first half, but our red-zone defense was tremendous. ‘’Most important stat in football other than the score is the turnover margin and we were on the wrong end of that by a long shot.’’ The Washington State defense played well throughout, bottling up the Utah run game and harassing Huntley. Defensive end Hercules Mata’afa entered the game as the league’s second leading sack artist with 6.5 and added three more Saturday. Huntley finished with 305 passing yards, one touchdown, three interceptions and 51 rushing yards on 20 attempts. He was sacked seven times. Running back Zack Moss had 32 yards and two touchdowns on 13 attempts. ‘’Mental mistakes by us (early) and it cost us,’’ Huntley said. ‘’We’ve got a lot of things to work on.’’ THE TAKEAWAY Washington State: Things couldn’t have gone any better for the Cougars this weekend. Stanford beat Washington to put the three teams in a tie with two Pac-12 losses. The Cougars own the tiebreak over the Cardinal and have just one game remaining - against rival Washington. An Apple Cup victory in the regular-season finale would clinch the North Division. WSU last won a conference title in 2002 when it tied USC. The program last won the conference outright in 1930. Utah: The Utes can be proud of their defense, but the offense reverted to its struggling ways with an erratic run game. The turnovers are unacceptable. Utah’s goal is simply to become bowl eligible and it needs to win one of its final two games to get there.

GAME RECAPS

SEATTLE – Given the chance to ruin their rivals hopes at a conference championship, Washington did more than simply cost Washington State a chance at the Pac-12 North. The Huskies reasserted that for the fifth straight season the Apple Cup would remain decorated in purple with yet another rout of the Cougars. ‘’We wanted to put our foot on their neck from when the game started and keep it rolling through the game,’’ Washington safety Ezekiel Turner said. Myles Gaskin ran for 192 yards and four touchdowns, Washington forced four turnovers, and the No. 15 Huskies ended No. 14 Washington State’s hopes for a division title with a 41-14 thumping Saturday night. Washington (10-2, 8-2 Pac-12, No. 17 CFP) suffocating defense made life miserable for Luke Falk in the final regular season game of his career and the per-formance by Washington’s defense was punctuated by Gaskin running wild through the Cougars. Gaskin had 25 carries and averaged nearly 8 yards per touch. He had 114 yards rushing in the first half. The Huskies pummeled Washington State on the line of scrimmage, finishing with 328 yards rushing, the second-highest total this season. Gaskin had three short TD runs and a memorable 26-yard scoring run in the third quarter that will rank among the best of his career. Gaskin shook Sean Harper at the line of scrimmage, sprinted to the sideline and kept his balance enough while being pushed by Hunter Dale to leap for the pylon and finish off the TD. ‘’That one was cool,’’ Gaskin said. ‘’I didn’t know if I was going to get in there. They missed a tackle so I was like `I got to make it happen.’’’ While Washington celebrated in the cold Seattle rain, the Cougars (9-3, 6-3, No. 13 CFP) were left to accept their flop. Washington State needed only a victory to win its first Pac-12 North title and earn a spot in the conference title game Friday against Southern California. Washington State had memorable Apple Cup wins over the Huskies in 1997 and 2007 in Seattle. This is one the Cougars would like to immediately forget. ‘’I didn’t feel like we collectively, the whole game, played well at any position,’’ Wash-ington State coach Mike Leach said. Falk, the Pac-12 record-holder in a number of passing categories, threw three interceptions and had a costly fumble. He was under pressure all night as Vita Vea and the rest of defensive front was able to get pressure while rushing just three defenders and closed off gaps in the secondary. Falk was 37-of-55 passing for 369 yards and a late TD to Tay Martin, helping continue Leach’s streak of never being shut out. But it was a hollow accomplishment in the scope of being overmatched by their rivals. ‘’It sucks because we all know what was at stake for this game and for the senior class and this team,’’ Falk said. ‘’I’m really proud of the guys and where we come from, but definitely disappointed.’’ What was a matchup of the top two defenses in the Pac-12 was completely one-sided. Washington dominated. Washington State was bullied. The Cougars were allowing just 130 yards per game rushing and led the Pac-12 in sacks. The Huskies averaged 7.3 yards per carry and quarterback Jake Browning never was sacked until the first play of the fourth quarter. ‘’Once something starts clicking we kind of stick to it,’’ Gaskin said. ‘’If it doesn’t we’ll go back to something else. That’s just kind of the way it worked out today.’’ Meanwhile, Falk was constantly under duress. Falk was sacked five times and his mistakes came at critical points when Washington State had opportunities to remain in touch with the Huskies. His fumble may have been the most critical as he was hit by Keishawn Bierria and fumbled at the Cougars 28. Two plays later, Browning plowed in from the 1 to give Washington a 14-0 lead. ‘’This is the right feeling for me to feel right now,’’ Bierria said after finishing his career undefeated against the Cougars. ‘’Anything else, it would have felt totally awkward.’’ FIRST-HALF FINISH For the fourth straight season, Washington put the Apple Cup away in the first half. Washington led 24-0 at halftime and has outscored the Cougars 90-13 in the first half of the past four meetings since coach Chris Petersen arrived. INJURIES Washington dominated despite playing most of the night without leading receiver Dante Pettis and running back Lavon Coleman. Pettis suffered a left leg injury on a punt return in the first quarter and Coleman appeared to hurt his lower left leg later in the quarter. Both players were on the sideline but did not return. Petersen said the medical staff does not believe either has any broken bones. THE TAKE-AWAY Washington State: The undersized defensive line for the Cougars was overmatched, constantly getting pushed off the ball. It was only the second time this season the Cougars allowed an opponent to rush for more than 165 yards. Arizona had 310 yards rushing. It didn’t help that defensive standout Hercules Mata’afa was flagged for targeting on the first drive of the second half and was ejected.

2017 WASHINGTON STATE

Mike Leach, the 2015 Pac-12 Co-Coach of the Year, begins his sixth season leading the Washington State Cougar football program after being named the Cougars’ head football coach, Nov. 30, 2011. Leach has guided the Cougars to three bowl appearances in his first five years, a first for a WSU head coach.

Last season the Cougars posted an 8-5 mark, including a 7-2 record in Pac-12 play, along with an appearance in the Holiday Bowl. Leach guided a WSU offense that led the Pac-12 and finished third nationally in passing (362.5 ypg), and also led the Pac-12 in completion percentage, second nationally, at .703 percent. WSU won eight-straight games midway through the season, the most since the 1930 campaign. WSU had 10 players earn All-Pac-12 honors, five were named to the Pac-12 All-Academic teams, and redshirt junior offensive lineman Cody O’Connell was a unanimous All-American and finalist for the Outland Trophy.

In 2015 the Cougars ended the season with a 9-4 record, 6-3 in the Pac-12 Conference, capped by a 20-14 Sun Bowl victory over Miami. After starting the season 2-2, the Cougars went 7-2 over the final nine games, posting last-minute victories at Oregon and No. 18 UCLA, and rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit in a 38-24 victory against Arizona State. For the second-straight season WSU led the nation in passing at 389.5 ypg, while also finishing second in the nation in red zone offense, converting 94.5 percent of their opportunities. WSU concluded the regular season by having 11 student-athletes named to All-Pac-12 teams and five to Pac-12 All-Academic teams. Senior offensive lineman Joe Dahl earned Second-Team All-America honors while defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa garnered First-Team Freshman All-American honors by USA Today.

In 2014 Leach’s offense led the nation in passing at 477.7 yards per game, the second-highest total in FBS history, trailing only Houston’s 511.3 in 1989. WSU set or tied 42 school, conference or NCAA records during the season, including quarterback Connor Halliday who threw for an NCAA single-game record 734 yards against California. WSU also placed five student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams and five on All-Pac-12 teams during the season.

In 2013, Leach’s second season at the helm of the Cougars, he guided Washington State to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the first bowl game for the Cougars in a decade. Last season the Cougars ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense, setting a school-record at 368.00 yards per game, eclipsing the previous mark of 343.3 ypg in 1997. The Cougar offense threw for more than 400 yards five times, including a 2013 NCAA FBS–best 557 yards at Oregon. Quarterback Connor Halliday set WSU single-season records for passing yards (4,587), attempts (714) and completions (449), the first WSU quarterback to surpass the 4,000-yard mark. The Cougars picked up more national recognition as safety Deone Bucannon became WSU’s first All-America first-team selection since 2005 and was later selected as the No. 27 overall pick in NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, the first Cougar taken in the first round since 2003. The Cougars also placed eight student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams during the season.

In his first season in Pullman, Leach’s high-powered offense led the Pac-12 Conference in passing, averaging 330.42 yards per game. That figure ranked ninth nationally and marked the second-highest average in school history. Academically, nine Cougars received Pac-12 All-Academic honors while the 2012 fall semester football GPA of 2.66 marked the first time the football team had been over a 2.60 GPA for fall semester.

Leach brought a proven record of winning to Pullman. In 10 seasons as a head coach, all at Texas Tech (2000-09) his program earned 10 bowl bids. In addition, the Susanville, Calif., native who was raised in Cody, Wyo., recorded a school-record 84 victories during his tenure.

Leading the most prolific passing offense in the country, Leach received three national coach of the year awards in 2008 - the Woody Hayes Award, Howie Long/Fieldturf Coach of the Year, and George Munger Award. His offense spreads the field with his exciting brand of football and guided Texas Tech to six NCAA passing titles and three total offense titles during his 10 seasons in Lubbock. Leach’s offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, his first season with the Red Raiders, but surpassed those numbers in each of his next nine seasons.

During Leach’s time in Lubbock, Texas, the Red Raiders increased their yards per game by more than 150 and averaged nearly 20 points more per outing. In the passing game, Texas Tech threw for about 300 yards more per game in the decade Leach was at the helm.

Leach led Texas Tech to one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2008 as the team set a program record with 11 regular-season wins en route to an 11-2 record. The win total tied the mark, set previously by the 1953 and 1973 Red Raider squads. Numerous accolades poured in from across the country as an unprecedented four players earned first-team All-America status, in addition to Leach’s three coach of the year honors. Quarterback

COACHING CAREER

EDUCATION

Graham Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered first-team honors, while wide receiver Michael Crabtree was honored as a unanimous All-American for the second-straight season.

On the field in 2008, the Red Raiders led the nation in passing for the sixth time in Leach’s ten seasons and ranked among the top five in total offense. Harrell finished his storied career second on the NCAA career passing yardage list with 15,793 yards. Harrell also broke the career NCAA passing touchdowns mark with 134.

The Texas Tech program has established itself as one of the nation’s leading producers of productive quarterbacks since the 2000 season. Harrell threw for 4,555 yards in his debut as the starter in 2006 and became the sixth player and third Red Raider in NCAA history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season with his 5,705-yard effort in 2007 and 5,111 yards last season. He also is the third quarterback under Leach to win nine games in a season and the first Red Raider in history to win 11 in a regular season. Former quarterback Kliff Kingsbury in 2002 and Cody Hodges in 2005 each posted nine-win seasons during their careers, while 2003 and 2004 signal callers B.J. Symons and Sonny Cumbie each won eight games in their respective seasons as the starter.

The running game flourished under Leach as well. Former Red Raider Taurean Henderson holds the NCAA career record for receptions by a running back. The Red Raiders’ 28 total rushing scores in 2008 were the most for a Tech team since the 1993 team scored 30. Despite Tech’s offense revolving around the pass, Leach did a tremendous job of incorporating the running back position into the mix. Henderson finished his career with 303 receptions, which ranks first in NCAA history among running backs and fourth overall.

Leach has coached several players who have gone on to the NFL. While at Tech, 18 players have been drafted and 21 others have signed free agent contracts. In the spring of 2009, four players were selected among the first four rounds of the NFL Draft, marking the most successful draft for Texas Tech in the Leach era.

Safety Darcel McBath was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round, while offensive lineman Louis Vasquez was taken in the third by San Diego. Defensive end Brandon Williams went to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth.

The program made strides academically as well under Leach. During his 10 years, Tech was recognized as one of the nation’s top institutions for consistently being above a 70 percent graduation rate, according to the American Football Coaches Association.

Prior to coming on board at Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma, directed a Sooner offense that went from one of the worst in the Big 12 Conference to one of the best. Leach guided an Oklahoma offense that went from 11th in the Big 12 in 1998 to first in 1999 and 101st in the nation to 11th. In just one year, OU’s total offense numbers improved from 293.3 to 427.2 yards per game. Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records.

Prior to joining Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive

coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games.

Named 1996 Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly magazine, Leach helped Mumme lead Valdosta State to a 40-17-1 record. The 1993 Blazer offense smashed 66 school records, 22 conference records and seven national records. In 1994, Valdosta State advanced to the Division II playoffs with Leach’s offense shattering 80 school records, 35 conference records and seven more national marks.

Leach and Mumme first teamed up at Iowa Wesleyan College in 1989. From 1989 to 1991 Leach served as offensive coordinator and line coach for an offense that led the NAIA in passing yardage one season and finished second the other two. Iowa Wesleyan quarterbacks passed for more than 11,000 yards in Leach’s three seasons and broke 26 national records.

Leach also has made coaching stops in Pori, Finland, where he served as a head coach in the European Football League (1989), as well as one-year stints at College of the Desert (1988) and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo (1987).

After graduating with honors from BYU in 1983, Leach earned a master’s degree from the U.S. Sports Academy and his law degree from Pepperdine University, where he graduated in the top one-third of his class.

The oldest of six siblings, Leach and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of four children; Janeen, Kim, Cody and Kiersten.
