OSU leads the all-time series in Corvallis 24-22 but the Cougars have won the last two meetings including a 35-31 comeback victory in 2016. A pair of former WSU quarterbacks are in the Reser Stadium record books, Alex Brink holds the record for passing yards (531, 2005) and Luke Falk set the completions record with 44 in 2014.

COLLEGE GAMEDAY RECORDDating back to the middle of the 2003 season, ESPN’s College GameDay has had the WSU flag appear throughout the show. The first appearance came Oct. 4, 2003 in Austin, Texas and the streak began two weeks later in Madison, Wisc. (10/18/03). The streak reached 214 after the appearance at last week’s Ohio State-Penn State game in State College. Pa. 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.” 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 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.

Robertson now hosts the Cougars pre, halftime and postgame shows, while also providing analysis during the games. Matt Chazanow is in his fourth 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 first season will be former Cougar quarterback Alex Brink who is the only WSU quarterback to win three Apple Cups and was later a seventh-round draft pick by the Houston Texans. Returning for her seventh season as the sideline reporter is Jessamyn McIntyre, an executive producer for 710 ESPN Seattle.

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.

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 tack-led Jamal Morrow in the end zone for a safety, and Isa-iah 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 touch-down in more than three quarters of play. Washington State replied with Falk’s short touchdown pass to Mar-tin. On the next possession, Oregon State punter Nick Porebski fumbled the snap and Gerard Wicks recov-ered, giving the Cougars the ball on the OSU 26. Falk’s 2-yard touchdown pass to Johnson-Mack put Wash-ington 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.

LAST TIME IN CORVALLISOct. 29, 2016

Washington State def. OREGON STATE, 35-31CORVALLIS, Ore. – For a half, it looked like Washington State’s Air Raid offense had been grounded. But Luke Falk threw for five touchdowns and 415 yards as the Cougars roared back to beat Oregon State 35-31. Gabe Marks caught two touchdown passes, and Jamal Mor-row, Tavares Martin Jr. and Robert Lewis each had a TD for the Cougars (6-2, 5-0 Pac-12), who won their sixth game in a row. Marks finished with eight catches for 110 yards. The Cougars fell behind 24-6 at halftime, but Falk responded with three touchdown passes in the third quarter to put the Cougars up 28-24. In the fourth, Washington State mishandled a punt deep in its own territory, allowing Oregon State to score and regain the lead. On the next possession, Falk led the Cougars on an 80-yard, seven-play drive capped by Lewis’ 1-yard touchdown catch. ‘’I’m just really proud of these guys. The first half didn’t go our way, and we didn’t quit, we came out swinging and just showed the type of team we’ve got,’’ Falk said. Washington State coach Mike Leach said Oregon State wanted to win more in the first half and played harder. But the Cou-gars responded. ‘’Most teams in the country wouldn’t have found a way to win a game like this on the road,’’ Leach said. Oregon State’s Ryan Nall had two rushing touchdowns and another receiving. His 131 yards rush-ing included an 89-yard touchdown up the middle - the third longest run in school history. He added 71 yards receiving. Marcus McMaryion had 303 yards passing with two touchdowns, including one to Seth Collins on a trick play that went for 46 yards, for Oregon State (2-6, 1-4), which lost its third in a row. ‘’It’s a crying shame,’’ said Oregon State coach Gary Andersen. ‘’You play them close and you get where you need to be and you have an opportunity to win a game in the Pac-12 and you don’t get it done. That’s a tough one.’’

TAKEAWAYSWashington State: Falk has been a nightmare for the Beavers. He racked up nearly 900 yards and 11 touch-downs in his previous two games against Oregon State, both of them wins. . Marks set a school record for touchdown receptions with 33. . The Cougars had a second quarter PAT blocked.

Oregon State: Nall returned to the lineup after miss-ing the Washington game last week with an injured foot and only rushing once, albeit for 32 yards, against Utah on Oct. 15. . Oregon State had 13 penalties for 110 yards. . The Beavers wore ‘’battleship gray’’ helmets for the 75th anniversary of Oregon State’s 1942 Rose Bowl team, which beat Duke 20-16 in Durham, North Carolina. The game, moved because of World War II, remains the only Rose Bowl played outside Pasadena, California.

JUMPBALL: Falk said a jump ball into triple coverage he threw to Marks in the third quarter - which resulted in a 37-yard touchdown - was the result of a play that broke down. ‘’Honestly, I just saw Gabe and threw it up,’’ he said. Falk added that Marks’ competitiveness makes him a special player. ‘’He brings it every day in practice and then he goes out there in the games and does the same thing. He always wants the ball, you al-ways know where he’s going to be,’’ Falk said.

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.

GAME RECAPS

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.

PULLMAN, Wash – Easop Winston Jr. caught the football over his shoulder, made a couple of sweet moves to shed a defender, and completed an 89-yard touchdown play that lifted Washington State to a 28-24 victory over Utah on Saturday. Winston said he could hear the roar of the crowd as he made the catch late in the fourth quarter, and had only one thought on his mind. ‘’I just had to get in the end zone,’’ Winston said. ‘’Just get in the end zone.’’ After Winston scored with 4:14 left in the game, Utah had one last chance to score. But the Utes turned the ball over on downs after a penalty-plagued possession and Washington State won its 10th consecutive home game. Washington State (4-1, 1-1 Pac-12) shredded the nation’s No. 1 defense for 445 total yards. Utah (2-2, 0-2) was coming off a bye week. The Utes defense came in allowing just 12.3 points and 204 yards per game. Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew completed 31 of 56 passes for three touchdowns and one interception. He also ran for a touchdown. ‘’This game was all about resiliency,’’ Minshew said, after the Cougars were shut out for most of the second half. Minshew said he saw that Winston, who caught four passes for 115 yards, drew just one defender on the play that produced the winning touchdown. ‘’I saw they were one on one with a guy who is pretty much unguardable one on one,’’ Minshew said. After the catch, ‘’I was waiting for him to get caught and he never did,’’ Minshew said. Utah only managed to score one field goal in the second half. ‘’Our defense studded up in the second half,’’ Utah coach Kyle Whittingham said. ‘’One big play and that was obviously the back breaker.’’ ‘’We did a lot of positive things that were negated by penalties’’, he said. ‘’This team has a lot of character, a lot of heart,’’ Whittingham said. ‘’They’ll come back ready to go to work on Monday.’’ Washington State marched to the Utah 17 on the opening drive, but Minshew was intercepted by Corrion Ballard near the end zone to end the scoring threat. On the ensuing series, Utah’s Britain Covey appeared to fumble after catching a pass and the ball was recovered by Washington State. But safety Skyler Thomas was called for targeting and ejected from the game and Utah retained the ball at midfield. Quarterback Tyler Huntley ran up the middle for 24 yards and a 7-0 Utah lead. Minshew threw a short touchdown pass to Tay Martin on the next series to tie the score. Zach Moss ran for a 6-yard touchdown to put Utah ahead. Minshew bootlegged 10 yards for a touchdown to tie the score at 14-14. After Utah’s first punt, Minshew fired a 65-yard touchdown pass to a streaking Dezmon Patmon, who caught the ball near midfield and ran untouched into the end zone. Utah tied the score at 21-21 on Huntley’s 1-yard plunge, and that stood at halftime. The defenses took over in the second half. Matt Gay kicked a 41-yard field goal on the first possession of the third to put Utah ahead 24-21. Blake Mazza tried a 52-yard field goal on the next series for WSU, but it was blocked by Maxs Tupai. In the fourth, Minshew lofted an 89-yard touchdown pass to Winston to take a 28-24 lead with 4:14 left. Utah turned the ball over on downs with 50 seconds left when Huntley’s pass fell short on fourth-and-20. THE TAKEAWAY Utah: The Utes’ slumbering offense woke up, but the defense could not stop WSU’s Air Raid in the first half. ‘’It doesn’t get any easier with a road trip to Stanford,’’ Whittingham said of the next game. Washington State: Washington State has won 10 straight home games, dating to its latest home loss in 2016. It’s the Cougars’ longest streak since winning nine in a row from 1941-46 (there was no football in 1943-44 because of the war). ‘’Protecting our home is one of our big things,’’ said WSU defensive lineman Will Rodgers. UTAH RUNS Utah running back Zack Moss rushed for 106 yards and quarterback Huntley ran for 88 yards. But the Utes managed only 118 yards through the air. PERFECT PEYTON Washington State linebacker Peyton Pelluer led all players with 13 tackles, one sack and one tackle for loss. The sack was huge, forcing Utah to punt on its second-to-last possession. ‘’It was a special feeling,’’ Pelluer said. ‘’Hearing the crowd erupt.’’

GAME RECAPS

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.
