COUGARS HOST UTAH FOR HOMECOMING WEEKENDWashington State returns to Martin Stadium to host Utah on homecoming weekend. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. on the Pac-12 Networks.

SERIES HISTORYWashington State leads the all-time series with Utah 8-7 after claiming a 33-25 victory in Salt Lake City last sea-son. The Cougars have won the last three meetings with Utah who will be making their first trip to Pullman since 2013, a 49-37 WSU win.

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 213 after the appearance at last week’s Stanford-Oregon game in Eugene. 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.

WSU CONTINUES WORK PROMOTING MENTAL HEALTH AWARENESSFollowing the tragic suicide of Washington State University student-ath-lete Tyler Hilinski last January, the university embarked on a number of ac-tivities to raise awareness of suicide prevention on campus. WSU’s goal is to properly pay tribute to Tyler’s memory while destigmatizing mental health concerns and delivering a strong message of hope and healing. As part of this commitment, four new initiatives were launched on campus last semester. These included: • A second formal mental health screening for all members of the football team following the death of Tyler, along with meetings with all varsity athletes to help identify individuals who might be at risk for mental health issues. • Adding a full-time clinical psychologist to the Athletic Department health and wellness area. • Providing free access to Mental Health First Aid, a proactive inter-vention training, for the entire WSU student body, • Active engagement with the JED Foundation to identify any chang-es that might be needed in the care of our students. In addition to the immediate steps the university undertook during the last academic year, WSU students embraced the cause as well. The Associ-ated Students of Washington State University (ASWSU) launched the Cou-gar Health Fund, a student-driven endowment that sponsors mental health awareness and related initiatives on the WSU Pullman campus. In the spring, ASWSU hosted the Cougar Courage 5K run to help raise money for the endowment. By the end of April, the group had already raised $50,000.

WSU COMMITTED TO ADDITIONAL STEPS IN 2018-19These include: • Inviting the Hilinski family to raise the Cougar flag at the September 8, 2018 home opener against San Jose State University to start the 2018 football season. (The National Alliance on Mental Illness has designated September as Suicide Prevention Awareness Month and September 10 is recognized as World Suicide Prevention Day). • The football team will remember Tyler by displaying a decal on the back of their game day helmets this year and will maintain Tyler’s locker as a “Locker of Hope” throughout the 2018 season. • The university is adding a highlight from Tyler’s playing career to the “Way Back Home” video, which will be shown at every home game throughout the 2018 football season. A public service announcement ad-dressing mental health awareness and suicide prevention will also be played at home football games this year. • A HILINSKI’S HOPE FOUNDATION flag will be displayed inside the stadium for the 2018 season. • Plans are underway for a new multi-day event, Game Day for Mental Health, in April 2019 to coincide with the Crimson and Gray Spring Football Game on April 20. The Athletics Department will be returning the spring football game to Martin Stadium this year and, in coordination with Student Affairs, will create a series of activities around the preseason scrimmage. • WSU will host a series of lectures during the 2018-2019 academic year that will be focused in the mental health arena. These lectures will be open to the entire university community, and began earlier this month with former WSU student-athlete Collin Henderson, as well as Dr. Derek Greenfield discussing inclusive excellence and positive change. • The university will develop a permanent Walk of Hope on the Pull-man campus. This memorial will offer messages of hope and provide re-source information for those in need of mental health support. • WSU Athletics will release a public service announcement to kick-off Suicide Prevention Awareness Month, featuring student-athletes from all WSU athletic programs. • WSU Athletics, in partnership with Hilinski’s Hope, is also joining with national experts in developing an innovative peer-to-peer mental health awareness program, beginning this September.

MIKE LEACH AMONG NATION’S BESTHead coach Mike Leach is in his 17th season as a head coach and owns a 125-82 career record including a 41-39 mark at WSU, now in his seventh season in Pullman, the fourth-most wins by a Cougar head coach. Leach is the first coach in school history to lead WSU to three bowl games in his first five seasons and joined Mike Price as the only Cougar head coaches to take WSU to three straight bowl games. 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 five of his six seasons, only finishing second behind Cal and Jared Goff in 2013.

FRIENDLY CONFINES OF MARTIN STADIUMWashington State has claimed nine straight victories at Martin Stadium, tied for the third-longest home winning streak since winning nine straight home games from 1941 to 1946, with the 1943-44 seasons cancelled due to WWII. - longest home winning streak is 19 games that started in 1928 and ended with a tie in 1933 - second-longest home winning streak is 14 games from 1904-1908- longest home unbeaten streak is 33 games that ran 1926-35 (wins and ties) Last season, WSU went 7-0 at home, the most home wins in program history and was 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 Cougars host seven games at Martin Stadium again this season.

YOUNG COUGS TAKE THE FIELD Through the first four games, WSU has seen 24 players make their debuts and 12 make their first career start. Six players made their first career starts on offense at Wyoming; Easop Winston Jr. (Z), Travell Harris (H), Liam Ryan (LG), Josh Watson (RG), Abraham Lucas (RT), Gardner Minshew II (QB) and four made third first career start on defense; Nick Begg (DT), Taylor Comfort (NT), Dominick Silvels (RUSH), Skyler Thomas (FS). Against Eastern Washington, Max Borghi (RB) made his first career start and last week, Willie Taylor III (RUSH) made his first career start. Last season, 28 players made their debuts including 19 freshmen.

HARRIS, MINSHEW II NAMED PAC-12 PLAYERS OF THE WEEKKick returner Travell Harris and quarterback Gardner Minshew II each earned Pac-12 Conference Player of the Week accolades after the win over Eastern Washington. Harris was named the Special Teams Player of the Week and Minshew was named the Offensive Player of the Week. Harris, a redshirt-freshman, had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the win over Eastern Washington. The Tampa, Fla. native averaged 41.5 yards-per-return and also recorded a tackle on kickoff coverage. Harris recorded WSU’s first kick return for a touchdown since Robert Taylor had a 100-yard kickoff return for a touchdown at Arizona State in 2016. Minshew II, a senior graduate transfer from East Carolina, completed 45-of-57 passes for 470 yards and two touchdowns in the 59-24 victory over Eastern Washington. The Brandon, Miss. native led WSU to a 3-0 start for the second straight season and became the first Cougar quarterback to win his first three starts since Steven Birnbaum did so to start the 1998 season.

IMPRESSIVE DEBUTSA couple newcomers produced some impressive numbers in the season-opener at Wyoming. Graduate transfer quarterback Gardner Minshew II threw for 319 yards and three touchdowns; freshman running back Max Borghi scored two touchdowns, one rushing and one receiving; wide receiver Easop Winston Jr. caught three passes including a seven-yard touchdown; punter Oscar Draguicevich III averaged over 51 yards-per-kick on three punts including one for 60 yards; kicker Blake Mazza connected on both field goal attempts from 24 and 41 yards while hitting all five extra points; RUSH linebacker Willie Taylor III forced a fumble on a sack; RUSH starting linebacker Dominick Silvels made a pair of tackles-for-loss including a sack in his first career start; strong safety Skyler Thomas led the team with nine tackles in his first career start. Against San Jose State, junior defensive lineman Misiona Aiolupotea-Pei tallied a sack in his first game as a Cougar.

SPREADING THE BALL AROUNDWashington State saw nine players catch a pass at Wyoming and at USC while 10 caught a pass against San Jose State and 12 more had a catch against Eastern Washington. Last season WSU averaged a national-best 9.6 receivers catch a pass per game, according to an unofficial survey from sports information directors, and tied for national lead (New Mexico State) with eight players with 25+ catches. The 2016 season saw 10+ players catch a pass in 11 of the 13 games, highlighted by the 14 against Arizona, the most under Mike Leach at WSU. Also in 2016, the Cougars were the only team in the country with five players owning 40+ catches. 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 receptions (Gabe Marks and Dom Williams).

AIR RAID NUMBERS CONTINUE TO ADD UPLast season, Washington State produced the nation’s second-best passing attack (366.8) and opened the season with 30+ points in six straight games for the first time since the 2001 team reached that mark seven times. In 2016, WSU finished third in the country in passing offense (362.5) and set a program single-season records for the most touchdowns scored (67) and points (496). The WSU passing attack led the country in 2015 (389.5) and 2014 (477.7), was fourth in 2013 (368.4) and was eighth in 2012 (330.4).

ALL-PURPOSE, ALL THE TIMEThe Cougar running backs serve all-purpose roles for the Air Raid. In each of the last two seasons, the Cougar backs have combined to record 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards receiving. Last season, James Williams led the Cougars with 71 receptions, also the most by any FBS running back in the country. In week one at Wyoming, the backs combined for 18 receptions, 101 rushing yards and four total touchdowns. Against Eastern Washing-ton, the backs combined for 10 receptions and four rushing touchdowns including three from James Williams, the first Cougar with three rushing touchdowns since 2012. Last week at USC, Williams, Max Borghi and Keith Harrington combined for two rushing touchdowns and 12 receptions. Williams entered the week tied for fifth in the country with seven total touchdowns while Borghi is tied for sixth in the Pac-12 with four total touchdowns. As a group, the Cougar running backs are tied for third in the Pac-12 with nine rushing touchdowns after rushing for just eight a season ago.

NEW-LOOK OFFENSIVE LINEThe Cougar offensive line features a couple new faces in 2018. Gone is four-year starting right tackle Cole Madi-son, drafted in the fifth round by the Green Bay Packers, two-time All-American left guard Cody O’Connell gradu-ated as well as right guard B.J. Salmonson who played in 44 games.

NEW OFFENSIVE LINE SETTLES INDespite adding three new starters, the offensive line has not missed a beat in the first four weeks of 2018. WSU has produced the nation’s second-best passing attack and has allowed just three sacks this season on 228 pass attempts while also blocking for nine rushing touchdowns, tied for third-most in the Pac-12.

COUGAR DEFENSE OFF TO GOOD STARTThe Speed D has produced some low numbers in the first four games, and that’s a good thing. The WSU defense opened 2018 by holding Wyoming to just 206 yards of total offense and tallied eight tackles-for-loss including three sacks and one interception. Against San Jose State, the Cougars posted their third shutout in the last two seasons and held the Spartans to 109 yards of total offense. Against Eastern Washington, WSU limited the nation’s top FCS passing attack to just 14 completions and intercepted three passes.

It was the third shutout in the last two seasons (2017 - Montana State, Colorado) and fourth under Mike Leach (2013 - Idaho). The Speed D limited SJSU to just 109 yards of total offense, the fourth-fewest yards allowed in program history and fewest allowed since 1994, holding Oregon to 97 yards in a 21-7 Cougar win. WSU also held SJSU to nine rushing yards, tallied eight tackles-for-loss including five sacks and picked off one pass.

NEW FACES MAKE MARK FOR SPECIAL TEAMSThe Cougar special teams have seen some new faces produce in the first four games. Kicker Blake Mazza has connected on five of seven field goal attempts including a long of 50 last week at USC, the longest by any Pac-12 kicker in 2018. New punter Oscar Draguicevich III has already produced five punts of 50+ and put three inside the 20 while averaging 47.8 yards per punt, good for fifth in the country. Kyle Sweet has averaged 7.2 yards-per-punt return, good four fifth in the Pac-12, and produced a 26-yard return against San Jose State and an 18-yarder against Eastern Washington.WSU special teams entered the week:- 1st in the country in net punting (45.6), punter Oscar Draguicevich III is 5th in the country in punting (47.8)- 2nd in the Pac-12 in punt coverage, allowing 2.3 yards-per-return- 6th in the country in kickoff return, averaging 31.5 yards-per-return, Travell Harris is 7th in the country (31.5)- Kicker Blake Mazza is 15th in the country in points by kickers (35), most among all Pac-12 kickers

In Pat, we’re confident we found that person. His achievements in fundraising, boosting the academic success rate of student athletes, and building strong relationships with the community—on- and off-campus—are exemplary.” Chun, 43, is the first Asian-American athletic director to lead a Power 5 school and continues President Schulz’ drive to diversify his senior leadership team.

JASON HANSON NAMED TO COSIDA ACADEMIC ALL-AMERICA HALL OF FAMEJason Hanson was inducted into the CoSIDA Academic All-America Hall of Fame this past summer. Hanson became the first student-athlete in school history to receive this honor, entering the hall of fame along with Ten-nessee football player Peyton Manning, Florida International baseball player Mike Lowell and San Jose State basketball and track and field athlete Dr. Harry Edwards. Hanson, a pre-med major, was a three-time Academic All-American during his four years in Pullman (1988-91) and concluded his senior season by being named a National Football Foundation Scholar-Athlete, one of only five in WSU history to receive the honor. The Spokane, Wash. native, Hanson was an All-American kicker and punter for the Cougars, earning Freshman All-America honors as a kicker in 1988 and later became WSU’s first unanimous first team All-American as a sophomore in 1989. As a junior, he was named All-Pac-10 as both a punter and kicker and earned All-American honors as a punter that season. As a senior in 1991, he was named an All-American at both punter and kicker. Hanson fin-ished his WSU career with 19 field goals of 50+ yards including a Pac-10 record 62-yarder, the longest without use of a tee in NCAA Division I history.

LAST YEAR IN SALT LAKE CITYNov. 11, 2017

Washington State def. UTAH, 33-25SALT LAKE CITY – The Washington State Cougars are officially one victory away from being named Pac-12 North champions, 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,’’ Washing-ton 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 pos-sessions. 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 Hunt-ley’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 sur-passed 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 Whittingham 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.

LAST MEETING IN PULLMANNov. 22, 2013

WASHINGTON STATE def. Utah, 49-37PULLMAN, Wash. – Connor Halliday threw for 488 yards and four touchdowns as Washington State beat Utah 49-37 on Saturday to become bowl eligible for the first time since 2006. Dom Williams caught a pair of touch-down passes for Washington State (6-5, 4-4 Pac-12), which also returned two interceptions for touchdowns. The Cougars have not actually played in a bowl game since 2003, which was also their last winning season. Sophomore quarterback Adam Schulz, a former walk-on, made his second start for Utah and completed 21 of 46 passes for 347 yards. He threw three touchdown passes and was intercepted twice. Former starter Tra-vis Wilson is out for the season after suffering a con-cussion against Arizona State. Halliday completed 36 of 62 passes, and was not intercepted. Williams caught five passes for 154 yards. Washington State piled up 580 yards in the game while Utah had 481 yards. Wash-ington State jumped to a 21-0 lead, then had to hang on for the victory. Washington State drove 73 yards on the opening possession and Williams caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Halliday for a 7-0 lead. The big play of the drive was a 44-yard pass reception by Williams. Washington State squandered a chance to score on its next possession, when the Cougars turned the ball over on downs at the Utah 19. But two plays later Damante Horton picked off a Schulz pass and ran untouched for 22 yards into the end zone, giving WSU a 14-0 lead. Three plays later, a Schulz pass was deflect-ed and intercepted by Casey Locker, who returned it 39 yards for a touchdown and a 21-0 lead for Washington State. Utah finally scored when Kelvin York ran 14 yards up the middle late in the first quarter for a touch-down. York carried 8 times and caught a pass during the 12-play, 75-yard drive. After a WSU punt, Utah took over and Schulz immediately completed a 47-yard pass to Dres Anderson, putting the ball on WSU’s 16. York ran three times, the last a 2-yard touchdown burst. That narrowed WSU’s lead to 21-14 early in the second quarter. Washington State drove to the Utah 10 on their next possession, but had to settle for Andrew Furney’s 27-yard field goal for a 24-14 lead. After a Utah punt, WSU drove 78 yards and scored on Halliday’s 9-yard pass to Marcus Mason. But the conversion kick was blocked by Daniel Nielson and the Cougars led 30-14. After a short punt gave Utah possession at the WSU 49, Schulz fired a 28-yard pass to Geoffrey Norwood, and six plays later hit Anderson with a 3-yard touchdown pass. An attempt at a 2-point conversion pass failed. Washington State got the ball back with just over a minute left in the half, and Furney booted a 52-yard field goal as time expired that gave WSU a 33-20 lead at half-time. Utah’s Andy Phillips kicked a 34-yard field goal on the opening drive of the second half to cut WSU’s lead to 33-23. Furney replied with a 28-yard field goal after a WSU drive stalled on the Utah 11. Schulz fired an 11-yard touchdown pass to Jake Murphy on the next possession to cut WSU’s lead to 36-30 with 6:58 left in the third. Washington State went 75 yards in just four plays, including a 50-yard run by Mason, on its next possession. Halliday’s third touchdown pass covered eight yards to Vince Mayle and gave WSU a 43-30 lead. WSU’s Gabe Marks fumbled the ball after catching a pass and Utah’s Reginald Porter recovered on the Utes’ 36. On the first play, Schulz fired a 64-yard touchdown pass to Murphy to cut WSU’s lead to 43-37 with 12:28 left in the game. Then Halliday fired a 71-yard pass Dom Williams, who caught the ball and outran Utah defend-ers into the end zone for a 49-37 lead with 4:42 left in the game. A 2-point conversion pass was intercepted.

LARAMIE, Wyo. – Washington State’s starting quarterback wasn’t publicly known until the offense took the field Saturday against Wyoming. But graduate transfer Gardner Minshew knew he was the starter and responded by throwing for 319 yards and three touchdowns as the Cougars gained a 41-19 season-opening win over the Cowboys. Minshew, who trans-ferred from East Carolina, completed 38 of 57 attempts. He had TD passes of 2 yards to James Williams, 6 yards to Max Borghi and 7 yards to Easop Winston. Minshew threw one interception. Cougar coach Mike Leach had kept his starting quarterback a secret until the game started, but Minshew said after the game that he knew he was the starter a couple of weeks ago. Williams rushed 16 times for 82 yards and one score for Washington State (1-0). He also caught 10 passes for 53 yards. Washington State trailed at halftime but the Cougars scored touchdowns on four of its five possessions in the second half. ‘’I thought the first half we were trying to do too much, focusing on trying to be perfect,’’ Leach said. Leach said Minshew was ‘’slow at delivering the ball’’ but was more decisive in the second half. Minshew said the offense simply did a better job in the second half. ‘’The receivers caught the ball really well in the second half, and I just started throwing the ball better,’’ he said. ‘’I was making better decisions.’’ Wyoming (1-1) was led by Nico Evans, who ran for 89 yards and a touchdown before leaving the game during the Cowboys’ first series of the second half because of an unspecified rib injury. The Cowboys offense was limited to 206 total yards, including just 67 passing yards. Wyoming led 16-13 at the half but man-aged only a 30-yard field goal in the second half. The Cowboys hurt themselves with penalties, committing 13 infractions for 109 yards. ‘’If you’re going to play against a good team, you can’t shoot yourself in the foot, and I think we did that,’’ Wyoming coach Craig Bohl said. ‘’The margin for doing that is pretty slim, and we didn’t get it done.’’ THE TAKEWAY Washington State: Entered the game having lost seven straight season-openers played on the road. The Cougars’ last season-opening win on the road was in 2004 when they beat New Mexico 21-17. Wyoming: The Cowboys have lost 13 straight games against Power 5 conference opponents. Their last victory against a Power 5 team was in 2007 when they beat Tennessee 13-7. SLOW START Wyoming’s offense struggled early on against the Cougar defense. The Cowboys had no first downs and just 9 total yards in the first quarter. Tyler Vander Waal, who attempted four passes in the first quarter, didn’t complete his first pass until Wyoming’s first possession of the second quarter.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State beat San Jose State 31-0 on Saturday night, but that doesn’t mean Cougars’ coach Mike Leach was happy with his team. “I was not impressed with our second half,” Leach said, after the Cougars managed just one touchdown after halftime. “We were too soft,” Leach said, especially at running back. “We could get a fast seventh grader and hit the hole as hard as we did.” “We need a complete game,” Leach said. Leach did acknowledge that the shutout was “a fantastic effort” by the defense. Actually, the Cougars looked pretty good in piling up 544 yards while holding the Spartans to 109. San Jose State punted 11 times. Gardner Minshew threw three touchdown passes and ran for another score during an emotional night that began with a brief tribute to deceased WSU quarterback Tyler Hilinski. Tay Martin caught a pair of touchdown passes for Washington State (2-0), a five-touchdown favorite in the game. Minshew completed 34 of 51 passes for 414 yards. Quarterback Montel Aaron led a Spartan offense that sputtered much of the game. San Jose State (0-2) was coming off a loss to a Football Championship Series team at home last week. San Jose State coach Brent Brennan said his team needs to improve. “To win the turnover battle 3-1 and to get beat like that just tells you we have got a lot of work to do,” Brennan said. “Obviously they built quite a program here and I give them lots of credit.” Martin caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Minshew to cap Washington State’s first possession. On fourth and 10, Minshew fired a 36-yard scoring pass to a wide-open Martin down the left sideline for a 14-0 lead. “They hit a couple deep balls, we were in a couple situations where we were trying to bring some pressure, trying to get the quarterback off his spot,” Brennan said. Blake Mazza kicked a 36-yard field goal for a 17-0 WSU lead. Minshew rushed over from the 1 as time expired in the first half, giving Washington State a 24-0 lead. San Jose State was held to 23 yards and two first downs in the first half, while Washington State piled up 316 yards. James Williams caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Minshew late in the fourth. This was the first WSU home game since Hilinski took his own life last January. The program is remembering Hilinski, who was the presumptive starter for this season, by wearing decals with his No. 3 on their helmets, and maintaining his locker. Hilinski’s parents and two brothers raised the Cougar flag prior to the game. A suicide prevention video played on the scoreboard prior to the game.

PULLMAN, Wash – Graduate transfer quarterback Gardner Minshew didn’t start playing with his Washington State teammates until fall drills, but you wouldn’t know it from his production. Minshew threw for 470 yards and two touchdowns as Washington State beat Eastern Washington 59-24 on Saturday night to avenge a 2016 loss to its FCS neighbor. ‘’We have a bunch of new receivers and a new quarter-back,’’ Washington State coach Mike Leach said. ‘’All of it is tuning into one another.’’ ‘’Those guys are getting tuned in together,’’ Leach said. Tay Martin caught 13 passes for 149 yards for Washington State (3-0), which piled up 565 yards of offense. Gage Gubrud threw three touchdown passes but was intercepted three times for Eastern Washington (2-1), which upset the Cougars 45-42 in Pullman in 2016. Eastern Washington came in leading the FCS with an average of 623 yards per game, but was limited to 372 yards. Minshew, who played for East Carolina last year, completed 45 of 57 passes, two for touchdowns, and was not intercepted. ‘’It’s awesome,’’ Minshew said of throwing 57 times. ‘’It’s so much fun.’’ ‘’We are getting better as an offense each week,’’ Minshew said. James Williams rushed for three Washington State touchdowns, despite getting just six total carries. ‘’We’ve just got to make plays when we get opportunities,’’ Williams said. Despite the final score, this one was close for three quarters. ‘’We counter-punched at times,’’ Eastern Washington coach Aaron Best said. ‘’We just didn’t have enough juice in our counter punches. We turned the ball over four times.’’ ‘’We shot ourselves in the foot,’’ Best said. Jalen Thompson intercepted a Gubrud pass to give the Cougars the ball on their own 32. James Williams punched the ball over from the 1 to give Washington State a 7-0 lead. Minshew’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Easop Winston Jr. lifted Washington State to a 14-0 lead. Eastern Washington drove to Washington State’s 19, but had to settle for Roldan Alcobendas’ 37-yard field goal. Travell Harris ran the subsequent kickoff back 100 yards for a touchdown. Gubrud was intercepted near the goal line by Darrien Molton. Washington State drove 98 yards, and Williams plowed over from the 2 for a 28-3 lead. But the Eagles were not going away. Gubrud fired a 26-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Boston to cut Washington State’s halftime lead to 28-10. On the opening drive of the second half, Gubrud hit a wide-open Zach Eagle for a 34-yard touchdown pass to cut WSU’s lead to 28-17. Minshew completed seven consecutive passes as the Cougars drove from their 1 to the EWU 8. Williams covered that distance for his third touchdown and a 35-17 lead. Gubrud replied with a 44-yard touchdown pass to Dennis Merritt to bring the Eagles within 35-24. Gubrud was intercepted late in the third by Jahad Woods, giving the Cougars possession on Eastern’s 27. But they had to settle for Blake Mazza’s 44-yard field goal. Minshew hit Martin with a 21-yard touchdown pass for a 45-24 lead with 9:47 left in the game and the Eagles did not threaten again. THE TAKEAWAY Eastern Washington: Coming into this game, the Eagles had won three of their past eight games against FBS opponents. They clearly belonged on the field with the Cougars for most of this game. Washington State: Washington State’s Air Raid offense gave the Cougars an early lead the Eagles could not overcome. Leach said his team played well in all three phases of the game. ‘’We played kind of a complete game,’’ Leach said. ARE WE THERE YET? Washington State had drives of 99 and 98 yards in the game. BEVY OF RECEIVERS In addition to Martin, Washington State’s Jamire Calvin caught six passes for 70 yards. Winston caught six passes for 42 yards and Dezmon Patmon caught five for 57. GAUGING GAGE Gubrud had a huge game against the Cougars in 2016, throwing for five touchdowns and running for another. This time not so much. He completed just 14 of 36 passes for 231 yards. Zach Eagle caught four of the passes for 73 yards.

GAME RECAPS

LOS ANGELES – Southern California trailed by 13 points in the second half, and the smallish Coliseum crowd grumbled at the prospect of an already shaky season slipping away entirely from this powerhouse program. Right before the Trojans really got in trouble, they started making big plays. And when Jay Tufele slipped into the perfect spot and got his big arm up to block a field goal, USC’s season was back on track. J.T. Daniels passed for 241 yards and three touchdowns, and Tufele blocked Washington State’s attempt at a tying field goal with 1:41 to play in USC’s 18th consecutive home victory, 39-36 Friday night. After back-to-back road losses to Stanford and Texas put the Trojans in dire September straits, the Trojans (2-2, 1-1 Pac-12) fell behind the Cougars early, but made a series of big stops and slick adjustments down the stretch to remain unbeaten at the Coliseum under coach Clay Helton. None was bigger than the special-teams call on the Cougars’ last field goal attempt, allowing Tufele to get in an ideal position for the block. ‘’The kids knew exactly what to do,’’ Helton said. ‘’Our last team meeting, we showed it. We showed the gap that would be open. It was the absolute perfect call at the right time.’’ One year after the Trojans took their first loss of last season in a Friday night game in Pullman, USC showed resilience and fourth-quarter tenacity while avoiding a disastrous start to the season. Vavae Malepeai rushed for his second touchdown with 8:03 to play as USC rallied from two scores down in the second half and eventually held off the Cougars (3-1, 0-1). ‘’I’ve always thought that adversity kind of defines who you are,’’ Helton said. ‘’Being in that second half down two scores, a bunch of great kids defined who they are as men, and I can’t tell you how proud I am of them.’’ Gardner Minshew passed for 344 yards and three touchdowns in the new quarterback’s latest strong performance for Washington State, while James Williams and Max Borghi rushed for scores. Easop Winston caught his second TD pass from Minshew with 10:15 to go, but the Trojans responded with a 56-yard scoring drive. After Malepeai’s go-ahead TD and Daniels’ pinpoint 2-point conversion pass to Tyler Vaughns, Washington State drove into field goal range in the waning minutes. That’s where Tufele swatted down Blake Mazza’s 38-yard attempt with relative ease. ‘’Looked like they got a pretty good push, and it looked like we struck it low,’’ Washington State coach Mike Leach said. ‘’I thought we played pretty good. We played pretty hard across the board. I think our effort is great. We’ve got to become a more consistent team.’’ The Trojans’ special teams have made several significant mistakes this season, but the unit executed flawlessly at the biggest moment and then celebrated wildly. The Cougars led 24-17 at halftime, and they opened the second half with a 75-yard drive capped by Borghi’s 13-yard TD run before the Trojans finally responded. Pittman, whose exceptional catch shortly before halftime was ruled just out of bounds, took a 50-yard pass to the house. USC’s defense stiffened and forced two punts before St. Brown’s gorgeous TD catch and the extra point put the Trojans up 31-30. ‘’We left too many drives out there,’’ said Minshew, who went 37 for 52 without an interception. ‘’That was all on me.’’ But Winston immediately caught a 59-yard pass down the middle and followed it up with a 4-yard TD catch. Washington State’s 2-point conversion attempt failed, and the Cougars didn’t score again. COLISEUM CROWD The weekday attendance of 52,421 was USC’s smallest for a home game since 2001, but was still bigger than many expected for the school’s first Friday home game since 1999.

Mike Leach, the 2015 Pac-12 Co-Coach of the Year, is in his seventh 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 four bowl appearances in his first six years, a first for a WSU head coach, and the only head coach to lead WSU to three-straight bowl games.

Last season Leach guided WSU to a 9-4 record, 6-3 in conference play, and a second-straight Holiday Bowl appearance and third-straight bowl game overall. The Cougars opened the seasons with six-straight victories and posted wins over No. 5 USC and No. 18 Stanford. Once again, the Cougar offense ranked among the national leaders in passing offense (2nd) while the defense ranked in the national top 25 in seven categories, including four in the top 10. Senior offensive lineman Cody O’Connell repeated as a First-Team All-American while junior Hercules Mata’afa also earned First-Team All-American honors.

In 2016, 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.

The Cougars ended the 2015 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

COACHING CAREER

EDUCATION

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 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, along with three grandchildren.
