YOUNG COUGS TAKE THE FIELD Washington State has seen 22 players make their Cougar debuts this season and five players who have made their first career start in 2015. Thirteen freshmen have contributed including seven true freshmen. Eighteen newcomers appear in the depth chart against Oregon with a total of 13 freshman listed including seven true freshmen. The players who have made their Cougar debuts this season are: Treshon Brough-ton (DB), Zach Charme (P), Reggie Coates (DL), Hunter Dale (DB), Nate DeRider (LB), Kaleb Fossum (WR), Lucas Gravelle (LS), Keith Harrington (RB), Alijah Lee (RB), Chandler Leniu (LB), Shalom Luani (S), Tavares Martin Jr. (WR), Hercules Mata’afa (DL), Jeremiah Mitch-ell (DL), Darrien Molton (CB), Cody O’Connell (OL), Kirkland Parker (DB), Aaron Porter (LB), Kyrin Priester (WR), Kyle Sweet (WR), Logan Tago (LB), Ngalu Tapa (DL).

COUGARS COMEBACK TO NOTCH WIN AT OREGONWSU erased a 10-point deficit in the fourth quarter at Oregon to send the game into overtime and later come away with the 45-38 win in double overtime. The Cougars notched their second comeback win of the season after driving 90 yards and scoring the go-ahead touchdown with 13 seconds left in the win at Rutgers week two. It is the first time that WSU had two last-minute comebacks in the same season since 1992. Washington State snapped an eight-game skid to Oregon, winning for the first time since 2006 and claiming its first win in Eugene since 2003. The Cougars have won their last two overtime games and four of their last five.

FALK OFF TO HOT START Redshirt-sophomore Luke Falk’s hot start continued last week against Oregon State, throwing for 407 yards and tying a school-record with six touchdown passes (all in the first half). In just six games this season, Falk owns five 300-yard games including a 478-yard effort in a road win over Rutgers and a 505-yard performance in the win at Oregon. Falk has tossed a Pac-12-best 21 touchdowns, fifth-most in the country, against two interceptions while leading the Pac-12 in passing yards (395.2) and total offense (382.2). Following the comeback win over Rutgers in week two, Falk picked up his second career Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week honor after throwing for 478 yards on 47-of-66 pass attempts with four touchdowns and no intercep-tions. In the win at Oregon, Falk threw for 505 yards and five touchdowns while rushing for another in the first win in Eugene since 2003. In just 12 career games, Falk owns nine career 300-yard games, fourth-most in WSU history, and 34 touchdowns, good for eighth-most in WSU history.

FALK’S FOURTH QUARTER COMEBACKSLuke Falk hasn’t been a stranger to fourth-quarter comebacks. Falk has played in just 12 games and made nine starts but already has led the Cougars to three fourth-quarter comebacks. Last season at Oregon State, WSU trailed early in the fourth and Falk led a pair of scoring drives for a 39-32 victory. Earlier this season, trailing by four with 1:31 remaining at Rutgers, Falk leading WSU on a 10-play, 90-yard drive that was capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft with 13 seconds remaining. In the win at Oregon, Falk led WSU on a pair of scoring drives late in the fourth quarter that erased a 10-point deficit and sent the game into overtime after an eight-yard touchdown pass to Dom Williams with one second re-maining. In overtime, Falk rushed for a touchdown and then threw for another before the Cougar defense picked off a pass in the second overtime to clinch the win.

FALK, BENDER BATTLED TO LEAD AIR RAIDLuke Falk and redshirt-freshman Peyton Bender battled for the starting quarterback job throughout pre-season camp before Falk eventually won the job. Falk gained valuable experience in 2014 after being forced into action after graduated quarterback Connor Halliday suffered a season-ending broken ankle against USC. Falk threw for 346 passing yards and two touchdowns against the Trojans. The following week, in his first career start at Oregon State, he threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns to earn his first win and Pac-12 Player of the Week honors. At No. 13 Arizona State, he threw for 601 yards and three touchdowns, also rushing for one. He capped his season with 355 yards and two touchdown passes in the Apple Cup. In just six games including three starts, Falk finished the season with 1,889 passing yards (475.6 per game), more yards than 10 other FBS schools had for the season, and 13 touchdowns, more than 18 other FBS schools had for the season. Bender redshirted in 2014 and threw for 265 yards and two touchdowns in the 2015 Crimson & Gray Spring Game.

FALK ADDED TO MANNING AWARD WATCH LISTLuke Falk was added to the Manning Award Watch List, announced by the Allstate Sugar Bowl last week. Falk was one of 10 quarterbacks added to the watch list for the award given to the top quarterback in country after bowl games. Falk is one of five Pac-12 quarterbacks included on the list of 40 quarterbacks. The Manning Award was created by the Allstate Sugar Bowl in honor of the college football accomplish-ments of Archie, Peyton and Eli Manning. The winner will again be selected by a voting panel, which includes national media and each of the Mannings, after the bowls.

FALK’S 300-YARD GAMES



MARKS ADDED TO BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LISTGabe Marks was added to the 2015 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, the Tallahassee Quarterback Club Foundation announced last week. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver at any position in college football. Marks joins fellow Cougar wideout junior River Cracraft on the watch list, making WSU the only Pac-12 Conference team with multiple players on the list. Last season, three Cougars were named to the watch list including Cracraft, Vince Mayle and Isiah Myers. Mayle was later selected as one of the ten semifinalists. Marks enters Saturday’s game at Arizona leading the Pac-12 with 49 receptions, second in the league with 620 yards and tied for third with six touchdown catches. He has posted three 100-yard efforts this season, his 8.2 receptions-per-game average paces the Pac-12 and is seventh-best in the country, and his 103.3 yards-per-game are No. 12 in the country. Marks put up big numbers in WSU’s two road wins, setting a career-high with 14 catches and tying a career-high with 146 yards and a touchdown in the win at Rutgers and recently caught eight passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the win at Oregon. The Biletnikoff Award has opened its online FanVote for voting for can-didates on the Biletnikoff Award website. The 10 Biletnikoff Award semifinalists will be announced Nov. 16 and the three finalists will be declared, following another vote Nov. 24. The 2015 Biletnikoff. Award winner will be presented live on Dec. 10, on The Home Depot College Football Awards Show.

OFFENSIVE LINE BULKED UPLast season, the Cougar offensive line featured three first-year starters and posted the second-best pass attempts-to-sack ratio in the league at 21.4 (771/36), going the second-longest between allowing sacks while dropping back to pass the most times in Pac-12 history in addition to blocking for the nation’s leading passing offense. Not only do all five starters return in 2015 but every offensive lineman (13) also returns from last year. The 2015 offensive line is the biggest (weight) it’s been since coach Mike Leach arrived, averaging nearly 310 lbs after averaging 288.6 in 2012, 288.2 in 2013 and 309.4 lbs last year.

MIDDLETON NAMED COUGAR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK Each week, Washington State coaches give out the “Bone” award to the offensive lineman who per-forms the best during the previous game. Following the win over Oregon State, redshirt-junior right guard Eduardo Middleton earned his first “Bone” award of the season. Portland State: None; at Rutgers: Joe Dahl; Wyoming: Gunnar Eklund; at California: None; at Oregon: Riley Sorenson; Oregon State: Eduardo Middleton

EARTH, WIND AND FIRE IN THE BACKFIELDThe Cougar running back trio made up of redshirt-sophomores Jamal Morrow and Gerard Wicks and redshirt-freshman Keith Harrington have become known as Earth, Wind and Fire by WSU running backs coach Jim Mastro. WSU has already posted three 100-yard games this season after recording four 100-yard efforts the previous three seasons. Each player has had a breakout game this year with Wicks lead-ing the way with 288 rushing yards while also owning 23 receptions. Harrington has also caught 23 passes and owns three touchdowns (2 receiving, 1 rushing) while Morrow is coming off a solid couple games. He set a career-high with 68 yards on eight carries in the win at Oregon before scoring his first career touch-downs with two touchdown catches in the win over Oregon State. Against the Ducks, the trio combined for 289 all-purpose yards, 15 receptions and averaged 9.7 yards-per-carry. Last week against OSU, the Cougar backs averaged 7.6 per-carry and team rushed for 100+yards in the second straight game for the first time since 2011. WSU has already rushed for 521 yards this year, passing last season’s total of 478. All three backs have combined to average 6.5 yards-per-carry, the highest by a Cougar backfield since All-American Jerome Harrison and DeMaundray Woolridge combined to average 8.5 per-carry in 2005.

RECEIVERS MAKING THEIR WAY UP THE RECORD BOOKThe Washington State air raid offense has produced big numbers since Mike Leach arrived in 2012 and as a result, a couple wide receivers find their names climbing the record books. Redshirt-senior Dom Wil-liams enters Saturday second in WSU history with 24 career touchdown receptions, trailing only Jason Hill’s top mark of 32. Williams also owns seven career 100-yard games and recently moved into sixth in career receiving yards (2,375) and into eighth in receptions (153). Redshirt-junior Gabe Marks set a career-high with 14 receptions at Rutgers, in addition to tying a career-high with 146 yards, and enters Saturday fifth in school history with 172 career receptions. He is also closing in on the top-10 for receiving yards (1,987) and touchdowns (15). Junior River Cracraft posted his sixth career 100-yard game at Rutgers and also sits just outside the WSU top-10 for receptions (145), receiving yards (1,767) and touchdowns (14).

COUGAR PASS CATCHERS AMONG NATION’S BESTLast season WSU was the only team in the country that had six players finish with 40+ catches and four of those players returned in 2015 (Cracraft, Morrow, Williams, Lewis). Gone are receivers Vince Mayle (106 rec. 1,483 yds 9 TD, Biletnikoff Semifinalist, Browns 4th-RD) and Isiah Myers (78 rec 972 yds 12 TD) but the Cougars own five players who caught 20-plus passes and also welcome back Gabe Marks (74 rec 807 yds 7 TD in 2013) who redshirted last season. The four Cougar freshmen who caught passes last season, combined for 131 receptions in 2014, third-most by a freshmen class in the country. Running back Jamal Morrow set a school record with 61 receptions by a running back last season, breaking Steve Brous-sard’s 1987 mark of 59, and finished the season second in the country for receptions by a running back.

BY THE NUMBERS LINEBACKERS LEAD THE WAYThe Cougar linebackers have filled up the stat sheet the first six games with redshirt-sophomore Peyton Pelluer tied for second in the conference with 9.0 tackles-per game (54 total) along with 6.5 tackles-for-loss. Senior Jeremiah Allison is tied for tenth averaging 7.7 tackles-per-contest (45 total)after leading the Cougars in tackles in each of the first two games, 12 against Portland State and 11 at Rutgers. Pelluer followed with a career-best 14 stops against Wyoming and has shared the team-high in tackles in the wins at Oregon (8) and against Oregon State (11). Both backers took over as starters midway through last season and haven’t look back with Allison finishing 2014 second on the team with 78 tackles and Pelluer started the final five games and posted 39 tackles including 5.5 for loss.

YOUNG SECONDARY A YEAR OLDER, LUANI LEADS THE WAY The Cougars went through a youth movement in the secondary in 2014, starting six freshmen throughout the year including four true freshmen. Senior safety Taylor Taliulu and redshirt-sophomore cornerback Charleston White are the veterans this season. Taliulu is a three-year starter and White recorded a team-high 13 pass breakups, tying for second-most in the Pac-12. The Cougars have started true freshman Darrien Molton (19 tackles, 1 forced fumble) at cornerback the all six games while junior college transfer Shalom Luani has emerged as a playmaker after starting all six at safety. Luani is second on the team with 46 tackles, has forced two fumbles and is tied for second in the Pac-12 with three interceptions, the first sealed the double overtime win at Oregon and the next two came in the win over Oregon State, one he returned 84 yards for a touchdown. Sophomore Marcellus Pippins has settled as the starter at the other cornerback, recording a pair of interceptions, five pass breakups and 23 tackles.

GET THE BALL BACKFirst-year WSU defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has emphasized to the Cougar defense the need to force turnovers and get the ball back to Air Raid offense. Washington State has forced 11 turnovers in the first six games of 2015, the fifth-most in the Pac-12 and already surpassed last season’s total of eight. The Cougars have picked off six passes and are fifth in the Pac-12 with five fumble recoveries. WSU has turned the 11 turnovers into 27 points this season.

DEFENSE PUTTING THE PRESSURE ONThrough the first six games, the Washington State has racked up 16 sacks, tied for fourth-most in the Pac-12 and is eighth in the country with 8.5 tackles-for-loss per game (51 Total). The 51 tackles-for-loss are the most by a Cougar team in the first six games since the 1999 team recorded 56 TFL’s during that same span. WSU tallied five sacks against Wyoming, three from Ivan McLennan and two from Kache Palacio, giving McLennan the first three-sack performance since Andy Mattingly recorded four against Arizona State in 2007. McLennan and Darryl Paulo each enter Saturday with a team-best four, tying for sixth-most in the Pac-12 while Paulo owns a team-best 7.5 tackles-for-loss, sixth in the conference. Against Wyoming, WSU recorded 14 TFL’s, tied for third-most in school history and recently posted 11 TFL’s at California.

SPECIAL TEAMS FULL OF NEWCOMERSWashington State has seen a couple new faces contribute on special teams in the first half of the season. Freshman punter Zach Charme owns four punts of 50+ yards and has put six punts inside the 20. Freshman kick returner Tavares Martin Jr. has been close to breaking a couple long returns this season. The Belle Glade, Fla. native owns returns of 29 and 34 yards in his collegiate debut against Portland State, a 40-yard-er at California and a game-opening 51-yard return last week against Oregon State. He enters Saturday third in the Pac-12 averaging 25.5 yards-per-return. Although not a new face but redshirt-sophomore kicker Erik Powell posted a career day in the win at Rutgers, hitting all three of his field goal attempts (46, 47, 37 ), setting a career long of 47.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA TAKEOVERThe Cougars have tapped into the Rancho Santa Margarita High School pipeline, currently owning four players from the school in center, Riley Sorenson, tight end Nick Begg and receivers River Cracraft and Kyle Sweet. Cracraft’s older brother Skyler is also on the team but played at a different high school. In the season-opener, former Cougar and NBA Champion Klay Thompson brought the Larry O’Brien Trophy to campus and was recognized during the game. Thompson also starred at Rancho Santa Margarita HS before heading to Washington State.

POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Washington State roster has seen an influx in Polynesian players since Mike Leach and his coaching staff arrived in 2012. Assistant Head Coach / Defensive Line Coach Joe Salave’a, a native of Pago Pago, American Samoa and a nine-year NFL veteran, has helped bring a number of players to Pullman in his three seasons at Washington State. The 2015 roster has 15 players who are of Polynesian decent includ-ing seven who list their hometown from American Samoa.

CAREER 100-YARD GAMES LIKE FATHER, LIKE SONThree Cougars share a unique bond with their dads and/or grandpa, each have worn the crimson a gray. Redshirt-freshman offensive lineman Andre Dillard’s dad, Mitch was an offensive lineman and tight end for the Cougars in the late 1980’s; redshirt-sophomore safety Isaac Dotson’s dad, Michael was an All-American wrestler for WSU from 1983-86; redshirt-sophomore 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, played flanker in the 1920’s.

COUGARS SIGN PAIR TO FINANCIAL AID AGREEMENTSWSU got a head start on the 2016 signing class by signing two players to financial aid agreements last week. QB/ATH Justus Rogers out of Bellevue High School in Bellevue, Wash. and DB Jalen Thompson out of Downey High School and Bellflower, Calif. each inked financial aid agreements, will graduate high school early in December, enroll at WSU in January, 2016 and participate in spring practices. Rogers, 6-2, 220, is rated a three-star prospect by ESPN.com, Rivals.com and Scout.com and has served as Bellevue’s team captain the past two seasons. As a junior, the dual-threat completed 60-of-92 passes for 900 yards and nine touchdowns without an interception and also rushed 49 times for 400 yards and two touchdowns while leading BHS to the 3A State title game. Rogers is rated the No. 46 athlete in the country and No. 19 athlete in the West by Scout.com and No. 15 overall prospect in Washington by ESPN.com. Thompson, 6-0, 170, is rated a three-star prospect by ESPN.com, Rivals.com and Scout.com and is rated the No. 56 cornerback in the country by ESPN.com. Thompson played his junior and senior seasons at Downey, earning All-CIF and All-San Gabriel Valley League honors as a junior after recording 57 tackles and one interception in addition to catching 22 passes for 450 yards and four touchdowns.

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 is up to 170 after last week’s appearance at Michigan. 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 last year 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.

GRINCH, MANNING, HARRELL, MELE JOIN COUGAR COACHING STAFFWashington State made a couple changes to its coaching staff in the offseason, bringing on first-year defensive coordinator Alex Grinch who will also work with the Cougars secondary. Grinch spent the last three seasons at Missouri where he coached the safeties, helping Missouri to a 23-5 record over the past two years including two SEC East Division titles. Roy Manning joined WSU to coach the outside linebackers after serving the past two seasons at his alma mater, the University of Michigan, coaching the cornerbacks in 2014 and the outside linebackers in 2013. Making the move from offensive analyst to outside receivers coach is Graham Harrell who is very familiar with the Air Raid offense from his record-setting days as a quarterback for coach Mike Leach at Texas Tech. Eric Mele, who served as the interim special teams coach midway through last season, had the interim tag removed during the offseason and is the Cougars special teams coach.

ASSISTANT COACHES CRACRAFT NAMED TO BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LISTJunior wide receiver River Cracraft was named to the 2015 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, annually recog-nizing the outstanding receiver in college football. Last season, three Cougars were named to the watch list including Cracraft, Vince Mayle and Isiah Myers. Mayle was later selected as one of the ten semifi-nalists. Cracraft finished last season seventh in the Pac-12 with eight touchdown catches, ninth with 66 receptions and tenth with 771 receiving yards in just nine games. The Trabuco Canyon, Calif. native tallied four 100-yard games and his 66 catches were tenth-most in WSU history.

DAHL NAMED TO OUTLAND TROPHY WATCH LISTRedshirt-senior left tackle Joe Dahl was named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, given annually to the nation’s top interior lineman. Dahl is one of 13 players from the Pac-12 Conference included on the 81-player list. WSU defensive tackle Rien Long won the award in 2002, also garnering first team All-America honors while leading the Cougars to the 2003 Rose Bowl. Dahl earned All-Pac-12 honorable mention last season after starting all 12 games at left tackle for the nation’s top passing offense. The Spokane, Wash. native surrendered just one sack in the Cougars’ Pac-12 record 807 pass attempts and earned the WSU “Bone” Award (given to the team’s best offensive lineman each week) a team-best six times last season. Earlier this summer, Dahl was named to the preseason All-Pac-12 first team by ESPN.com, second team by Athlon Sports and third team by Phil Steele Magazine.

ALLISON NAMED TO WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST, ALL STATE GOOD WORKS TEAMSenior linebacker Jeremiah Allison was named to the 2015 Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, known as “Col-lege Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.” Allison is one of 80 football student-athletes con-sidered for the award that honors college football’s top community servant. Allison has been involved with many community service projects in and around Pullman throughout his three years at Washington State. The Los Angeles native has assisted with Habitat for Humanity, the Washington State Athletics Reading Buddies with local elementary schools, Sr. Buddies at the local retirement home and Butch’s Holiday Bash for local children. Allison also helped out with National Women In Sports Day and is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for football. He was the recent recipient of the WSU athletic community service award and also works with a local church, setting up weekly bible studies in addition to speaking with local individuals who lost their parent or parents to share words of inspiration. For the second straight season Allison was also named to the All State Good Works Team for his chari-table work and community work.

NEW COUGAR FOOTBALL BROADCAST TEAMHall of fame announcer Bob Robertson is in his 49th season calling Cougar football games, and accord-ing 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 45 straight seasons at Pitt. Robert-son began calling 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 will serve as the new play-by-play voice for Cougar football, men’s basketball and baseball broadcasts. Joining Chazanow and Robertson in the booth for his second season will be Cougar legend Jason Gesser who quarterbacked WSU to the 2001 Sun Bowl and 2003 Rose Bowl. Returning for her fourth season as the sideline reporter is Jessamyn Mc-Intyre, an executive producer for 710 ESPN Seattle.

MATT CHAZANOW NAMED VOICE OF COUGARSMatt Chazanow was named Voice of the Cougars over the summer. Chazanow replaces Bud Nameck on Cougar football and men’s basketball broadcasts. Additionally, Chazanow will serve as the voice of Cougar baseball broadcasts. Chazanow has extensive experience in broadcasting at the highest level of collegiate football, including calling national play-by-play broadcasts for ACC football, Big East and ACC postseason basketball, along with SEC and ACC postseason baseball. As a senior network manager at IMG College in Winston-Salem, N.C., Chazanow has spent the past seven years managing eight IMG college network broadcasts (Washington State, Arizona, Cal, Gonzaga, Oregon, Texas, UCLA and Wash-ington). Cougar fans had a chance to hear Chazanow last November when he called the WSU men’s basketball broadcasts at the Great Alaska Shootout.

This year’s Cougar football team has many links to former Washington State student-athletes running through their families. This week, we will focus on Isaac Dotson’s father, Michael, a former WSU wrestler.

• Isaac Dotson – Father, Michael, wrestled at WSU, was a three-time NCAA qualifier and also earned All-America status.• Michael Dotson:- Freshman (1982-83) went 15-21-1 overall…finished third at 1983 Pac-10 Cham-pionships…reached NCAA Championships.- Sophomore (1983-84) went 32-9-3 at 150 pounds…won first 10 matches to open season…finished third at 1984 Pac-120 Championships…fell in first round at NCAA Championships.- Junior (1984-85) went 26-6-1 on season, including season-best 15-match win streak from Jan. 11-Feb. 8…went 1-1 at Pac-10 Championships.- Senior (1985-86) went 22-5 on season, finished third at Pac-10 Champion-ships…reached NCAA Championships for third time in career.

One of the most popular classes at Washington State among Cougar football student-athletes is Human Development 101. Students are intro-duced to human development concepts, issues and theory spanning early childhood through aging and death with emphasis on interrelation-ships between individuals, families, schools, communities and culture. There is a virtual com-ponent to the class, with students participating in an interactive online simulation in which they raise a virtual child to the age of 18. The second, separate simulation makes life choices based upon their own lives, resulting in seeing life out-comes of their virtual self.

The course includes weekly quizzes, 12 critical thinking activities, in-class activities and a se-mester-ending final group project.

BEST IN CLASS

A pair of Samoans on WSU’s football team also have a history playing the other futbol. Junior Shalom Luani and sophomore Frankie Luvu have both represented their country in international soccer competitions. Luani, who made the national team as a senior in high school, also scored a goal in a World Cup first-round qualifying game in 2012 in American Samoa’s first official victory in international soccer. Luvu was a member of the American Samoa U-17 team as a midfielder.

Nickle back Isaac Dotson has spent the past few seasons teaming with another defensive back Taylor Taliulu, making music. Dotson lays down the beats and the duo has been featured by the Pac-12 Networks on Pac-12 Profiles, where they produced the music and lyrics for the piece.

TAYLOR TALIULU • Senior •

Senior safety Taylor Taliulu spent his summer do-ing all the normal activities of a Cougar football player: conditioning, lifting, attending summer school. He also added video producer to his plate as the senior from Aiea, Hawaii interned in the WSU Athletic department, focusing on content. He put together a four-part series called “The Grind,” (www.youtube.com/watch?v=jutORjRhMt8), de-tailing WSU’s off-season, including workouts and team-bonding activities. In addition to his video work, Taliulu also wrote and recorded “pump-up” music that is played during games at Martin Stadium. As if he is not busy enough, Taliulu also has a clothing-design project called Verified, with t-shirts worn by teammates off the field that he hopes to expand when time allows. Following football, Taliulu plans to pursue all three areas, music, video, design, and he already has a leg up on the competition.

LAST YEAR’S MEETING IN PULLMANOct. 25, 2014

Arizona def. WASHINGTON STATE, 59-37PULLMAN, Wash. – Anu Solomon threw five touch-down passes and No. 15 Arizona beat Washington State 59-37. The freshman quarterback was 26 of 38 for 294 yards without an interception. Terris Jones-Grigsby added 107 yards rushing for Arizona (6-1, 3-1). Washington State’s Connor Halliday, the nation’s lead-ing passer, completed 56 of 79 passes for 489 yards, with four touchdowns and two interceptions, and became the leading career passer in school history. Isiah Myers caught two touchdown passes for the Cougars. Washington State gave up 60 points in a loss to California and 59 points to Arizona in its past two home games. Arizona scored 24 straight points in the first quarter, including two touchdowns by DaVonte Neal, to win for the fourth consecutive time in Martin Stadium. Washington State went three-and-out on its first possession and punted. Neal returned the punt 81 yards for a touchdown, continuing a season-long trend of special-team failures for the Cougars. Arizona drove 84 yards on its next possession, but had to settle for Casey Skowron’s 31-yard field goal and a 10-0 lead. Neal caught a 2-yard touchdown pass from Solomon to cap an 80-yard drive on Arizona’s next possession for a 17-0 lead with 3:55 left in the first quarter. Wash-ington State, desperate to generate some offense, turned the ball over on downs on its own 34 on the next possession. Nate Phillips caught a 21-yard touch-down pass from Solomon for a 24-0 lead with 1:11 left in the first quarter. Solomon completed 15 of 19 passes for 169 yards in the first quarter. Cayleb Jones caught a 3-yard touchdown pass from Solomon, on fourth-and-goal, as Arizona took a 31-0 lead midway through the second quarter. Washington State finally got on the scoreboard when Halliday hit Myers with a 37-yard touchdown pass with 6:36 left in the first half. The play also allowed Halliday to break Alex Brink’s school career passing yards record of 10,913. Halliday fired an 18-yard scoring pass to Myers, completing a 90-yard drive, with 1:51 left in the first half. The con-version kick failed. Arizona fumbled away the ensuing kickoff and Cyrus Coen recovered to give WSU the ball on Arizona’s 17. The Cougars couldn’t move the ball and settled for Quentin Breshears’ 40-yard field goal to cut Arizona’s lead to 31-16 at halftime. Nick Wilson ran over from the 2 on the opening drive of the second half to lift Arizona to a 38-16 lead. Austin Hill caught a 14-yard touchdown pass and Trey Griffey caught a 13-yarder from Solomon later in the third for a 52-16 lead. Gerard Wicks scored on a short run and Vince Mayle and Tyler Baker caught touchdown passes in the fourth quarter for Washington State. Arizona’s Cayleb Jones added a kickoff return for a touchdown late in the game.

LAST MEETING IN TUCSONNov. 16, 2013

Washington State def. ARIZONA, 24-17TUCSON, Ariz. – Connor Halliday threw 25 yards to Isiah Myers for the tie-breaking touchdown with 2:15 to play to give Washington State a 24-17 upset over Arizona. Halliday completed 39 of 53 passes for 319 yards and two scores. Ka’Deem Carey scored both touchdowns for Arizona (6-4, 3-4 Pac-12) on a 30-yard run and a 7-yard reception from B.J. Denker. Carey gained 132 yards on 26 carries, his 13th consecutive 100-yard game. On the final play of the game, from the Washington State 13, Denker’s pass to Samajie Grant in the end zone was caught well out of bounds. Halli-day’s first touchdown pass, 23 yards to River Cracraft, came after Arizona’s botched punt attempt at the start of the second half. Jake Smith missed field goals of 40 and 34 yards for Arizona. Washington State’s An-drew Furney had a 46-yard attempt bounce off the left upright. The Cougars’ winning 80-yard drive came after Smith missed the 34-yarder with seven minutes to go. On third and nine from the Washington State 38, Halliday threw 10 yards to Dom Williams. Halliday hit Teondray Caldwell for 19 yards to the Arizona 31. Then on third-and-four at the 25, Halliday threw to the wide open Myers, who dodged a tackler and ran a few steps to the end zone. The Wildcats moved downfield and, on fourth and seven from the 28, Den-ker scrambled nine yards to the 19 for the first down. But Denker was caught at the 13 on third and six and Arizona, without any timeouts left, rushed to the line to get off a final play. Denker lofted it to the end zone and Grant hauled it in, but was a step out of bounds and the Cougars rushed the field in celebration. The Wildcats spotted the Cougars a 10-0 lead, then got a pair of touchdowns from Carey - one rushing, one receiving - to lead 14-10 at the half. Marcus Mason’s 15-yard touchdown run put Washington State up 7-0, then Furney’s 24-yared field goal made it 10-0 with 2:05 left in the first quarter. Arizona struck quickly after the subsequent kickoff, Carey - in his 13th consecutive 100-yard rushing game - breaking a series of arm tack-les on a 30-yard touchdown run to cut it to 10-7 with 47 seconds still left in the opening quarter. The Wildcats took the lead with a 15-play, 90-yard touchdown drive. Denker threw wide to Carey, who broke two tackles on a 7-yard scoring play to put the Wildcats ahead 14-10 with 7:37 left in the half. It was Carey’s first touch-down catch of the season. Arizona threatened again late in the half, but Smith’s 40-yard field goal try was wide left as the second quarter ended. The Wildcats took the second-half kickoff and went three-and-out, then Drew Riggleman dropped the ball trying to punt and Washington State recovered at the Arizona 31. On second-and-18, Halliday threw over the middle to Cra-craft for a 23-yard touchdown and the Cougars were back on top 17-14. The Wildcats moved down the field on their next possession, but drive stalled at the WSU 8 and Smith’s 25-yard field goal tied it at 17-17 with 6:36 left in the third quarter. The Cougars, in their first game in 16 days, had a chance to take the lead with 10:24 left in the third quarter but Furney’s 46-yard field goal attempt bounced off the left upright.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Portland State of the FCS upset Washington State 24-17 in a driving rainstorm that hampered WSU’s high-flying offense. Portland State scored all 24 of its points in the second half, and won despite being out-gained 411 yards to 294 yards. It was the first time Portland State beat a Pacific-12 team in 15 tries, and lifted their re-cord to 3-32 against FBS teams. It was Washington State’s first loss to an FCS team in 20 outings. Steven Long scored on a 1-yard run with just over 2 minutes left in the game to lift Portland State to the upset. The rain and unseasonably chilly temperatures stymied Washington State’s passing game under quarterback Luke Falk, who this year replaced national passing leader Connor Halliday. But Portland State had the stronger ground attack, out-rushing Washington State 233 yards to 104 yards. Portland State quarterback Alex Kuresa completed just 7 of 12 passes for 61 yards, but led all rushers with 92 yards on 16 carries in the opener for both teams. Falk completed 27 of 41 passes for 289 yards with two touchdowns for WSU. He left the game in the closing minutes with an undisclosed injury. Washington State’s opening drive stalled on Portland State’s 4-yard line, and the Cougars settled for Erik Powell’s 21-yard field goal and a 3-0 lead. The Cougars had a bizarre drive on their second possession, moving forward and back over 90 yards because of penalties, and converting three fourth-down plays, before Powell’s 22-yard field goal attempt was blocked by Aaron Sibley. Washington State’s first touchdown came on a screen pass from Falk to Keith Harrington, which the freshman running back turned into a 24-yard gain that gave the Cougars a 10-0 lead midway through the second quarter. That lead stood at halftime, as the Cougars outgained Portland State 274 yards to 66 yards in the first half. Portland State came out strong in the third quarter, driving 75 yards with Paris Penn scoring on a 4-yard rush to cut Washington State’s lead to 10-7. On Portland State’s next possession, Jonathan Gonzales kicked a 42-yard field goal to tie the score at 10 with 4:37 left in the third. Washington State turned the ball over on downs on its next possession, with Portland State taking over on its own 28. The Vikings were forced to punt, but WSU’s Kyrin Priester fumbled the catch and Portland State recovered on WSU’s 11. Nate Tago pounded over from the 8 to give Portland State a 17-10 lead with 13:06 left. Tavares Martin returned the ensuing kickoff to Portland State’s 46, aided by a face-mask penalty against the Vikings. Gabe Marks caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Falk to tie the score at 17 with 9:11 left. Kuresa led Portland State on a 14-play, 69-yard drive that consumed nearly 7 minutes, with Long rushing from the 1-yard line to lift Portland State to a 24-17 lead with 2:19 left. Sibley intercepted a pass from WSU’s Peyton Bender with 42 seconds left to seal the win.

GAME RECAPS

PISCATAWAY, N.J. – Luke Falk led a 10-play, 90-yard touchdown drive, finding River Cracraft with an eight-yard strike with :13 left to lift Washington State past Rutgers, 37-34. Falk threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns. While Janarion Grant tried to be the hero for Rutgers, returning two kicks for touchdowns, he couldn’t return the final kickoff for a touchdown. The ball was kicked to Leonte Carroo and Rutgers tried to do their Stanford vs. California impression, before the ball was thrown forward after several laterals. Grant had the best game of his collegiate career, returning a kickoff and a punt for late touchdowns. With Rutgers trailing 30-27 with 1:45 left, Grant returned a punt 55-yards for a touchdown to give Rutgers the 34-30 lead. The playmaker returned a kickoff 100 yards to give Rutgers its first lead of the game, 27-23 and finished a school record 339 total yards. Washington State answered Grant’s 100-yard return with an eight play, 82-yard drive in 2:59. Falk hit Gabe Marks, who made a dazzling 23-yard touchdown catch. On its next two drives Rutgers negated two touchdowns with penalties. Rutgers running back Josh Hicks fumbled on the ensuing drive after catching a screen pass and Isaac Dotson recovered for the Cougars. That came one play after a 21-yard touchdown was negated on a holding penalty on Chris Muller. The Scarlet Knights defense stopped Washington State on fourth down with 6:10 left, but Justin Goodwin’s offensive pass interference penalty negated a 29-yard touchdown catch by Grant. The high-scoring second half came after just one touchdown in the first. Trailing 13-6 and after lead-ing a 52-yard drive to start the second half, Chris Laviano, making his first career start, fumbled near the sideline, recovered on the 40-yard by defensive tackle Destiny Vaeao. Laviano finished with 204 yards, going 23-of-29 with one touchdown and an interception. Falk then led a 64-yard touchdown drive with a 7-play drive. Keith Harrington caught a 5-yard swing pass to make it 20-6 midway through the third quarter. Rutgers answered with a 73-yard touchdown drive that included a fourth-and-five conversion on a 20-yard pitch and catch from Laviano to Grant. Robert Martin ended the drive with a 15-yard touchdown run before Washington State blocked the extra point, leaving Rutgers down 20-12. Rutgers stopped Washington State on fourth-and-three with 2:27 left in the third quarter, then embarked on a 68-yard, 7-play drive capped by a 1-yard toss to Matt Flanagan. Carroo caught the two-point conversion to knot it at 20. Falk completed his first 13 passes of the game against Rutgers’ depleted secondary. Four defensive backs were dismissed from the team 10 minutes before the season opener last week. Washington State’s Erik Powell hit field goals from 46- and 47-yards in the second quarter as Falk went 24-of-29 for 201-yards in the first half.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another as Washington State beat Wyoming 31-14. Dom Williams caught two scoring passes for Washington State (2-1), which had not won a game in Pullman since beating Portland State last September. The Cougars had not beaten an FBS opponent at home since 2013. Brian Hill ran for 139 yards for Wyoming (0-3), who came in as a 24-point underdog. Cowboys quarterback Cam-eron Coffman, who missed last week’s game with an injured knee, completed 25 of 36 passes for 296 yards, with two touchdowns and an interception. Falk completed 37 of 45 passes and was intercepted once. Wyoming outgained the Cougars 409 yards to 378. Wyoming scored on a 45-yard touchdown pass from Coffman to Tanner Gentry on the first possession of the game. Coffman had been intercepted the play before, but the pick was negated by a hand-in-face penalty against WSU’s Hercules Mata’afa, giving the Cowboys new life. Washington State tied the game on Falk’s 1-yard run late in the first quarter, capping a 44-yard drive that began with Wyoming punting out of its own end zone. Wyoming took possession on its own 37 on the ensuing series and ran the ball six straight times, down to the WSU 5. Then Coffman fired a touchdown pass to Jake Maulhardt for a 14-7 lead. Washington State replied with a 70-yard drive, with Falk passing 35 yards to Williams in the end zone to tie the game at 14-14. Tristan Bailey missed a 38-yard field goal attempt on Wyoming’s next possession. Washington State took over on its 21 and grabbed its first lead of the game when Keith Harrington ran 36 yards into the end zone for a 21-14 advantage they never relinquished. Harrington ran or caught the ball on six of the nine plays. Washington State’s defense held Wyoming scoreless in the second half. Falk was picked off early in the third by Marcus Epps, giving Wyoming the ball on its 49. But the Cowboys’ drive stalled and they turned the ball over on downs. Washington State returned the favor, as Harrington was stopped on fourth-and-1 and Wyoming got the ball back on the WSU 40. Wyoming couldn’t move the ball and had to punt. Early in the fourth, Gentry fumbled after catching the ball and Mata’afa recovered, giving Washington State possession at midfield. A targeting call against Wyoming cornerback Robert Priester on receiver River Cracraft got Priester ejected from the game and put WSU on the Wyoming 24. The Cougars drove to the 4, but had to settle for Erik Powell’s 22-yard field goal and a 24-14 lead. Falk added a touchdown pass to Williams late in the game.

BERKELEY, Calif. – Jared Goff got off to a shaky start and still threw for 390 yards and four touchdowns to lead No. 24 California to a 34-28 victory over Washington State. Goff threw an early interception and was off target on a few throws before finding his groove. He threw two TD passes in a span of less than 2 minutes late in the third quarter surrounding a successful onside kick to erase an eight-point deficit and lead the Bears (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) to their best start since 2007. Luke Falk threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score for the Cougars (2-2, 0-1), who have lost 28 of their past 28 games against ranked opponents. Washington State was in position to reverse that trend after Falk threw a 4-yard TD pass to Gabe Marks midway through the third quarter and Kenny Lawler lost a fumble on Cal’s ensuing possession. Stefan McClure then changed the tide on a safety blitz that gave Cal one of its seven sacks on the day. Erik Powell then missed a 40-yard field goal wide right and Goff took over from there. He drove Cal 77 yards to a score on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler that made it 28-26. McClure’s sack was one of two momentum-changing plays he made in the quarter. Washington State tried a fake punt on the opening drive of the quarter only to have punter Zach Charme fumble. McClure scooped up the ball and ran 45 yards for the touchdown. Cal needed another big play from its defense after the Bears were stopped on fourth down at the Cougars 38 with 4:38 to go. Damariay Drew delivered with an interception and Goff converted two third downs to run out all but the final 12 seconds of the game. After winning just six games in coach Sonny Dykes’ first two seasons, Cal has matched its best start since 1950 in Dykes’ third year. The Bears need just one more win to be bowl eligible for the first time since 2011 and are in position to contend in the Pac-12 North. But the schedule gets much tougher from here with road games against No. 10 Utah and No. 7 UCLA, followed by a home game against No. 17 Southern California and a trip to Oregon. Cal was stopped twice on fourth down in the first half and Goff threw an interception on the third play from scrimmage as Washington State broke out to a 21-7 lead. Goff then threw his first of two TD passes to Lawler late in the second quarter to start the comeback.

EUGENE, Ore. – Luke Falk threw for season-high 505 yards and five touchdowns, including an unusual scoring pass in the second overtime, and Washington State snapped an eight-game losing streak to Oregon with a 45-38 victory in overtime over the Ducks. Knotted at 38, an unnecessary roughness foul on the Ducks helped the Cougars in the second OT, and then Falk appeared to hit River Cracraft with a pass that landed in the hands of Robert Lewis for a 4-yard touchdown. The play withstood review, and Oregon’s subsequent drive ended in an interception - sending the Cougars rushing onto the field in celebration. Falk had marched Washington State (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) downfield in the final two minutes of regulation, capping the drive with an 8-yard pass to tie the game at 31 and send it to overtime. Jeff Lockie hit Bralon Addison with a 9-yard touchdown pass for the Ducks (3-3, 1-2) on the opening possession of the extra period. The Cougars answered with Falk’s close 1-yard keeper that withstood a review that again tied the score. Royce Freeman ran for a career-high 246 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a TD pass, for Oregon. Both Lockie and Taylor Alie have rotated. Lockie shouldered most of the load, throwing for 123 yards and two touchdowns. Both QBs leaned on Freeman, just as they had in last week’s 41-24 victory at Colorado when he ran for 163 yards and two scores. Freeman ran for 135 yards and a touchdown against Washington State in the first half alone. Falk threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks on Washington State’s first series of the game. Marks has been seeing a lot of action in coach Mike Leach’s offense, going into the game with an average of 91 yards receiving per game, and leading the Pac-12 with an average of 8.3 catches per game. He finished with eight catches for 111 yards against the Ducks. Oregon was ranked 114th in the nation for passing yards allowed going into the game, allowing an average of 287.2 yards a game. But the Ducks attempted to switch things up against the Cougars, playing wide receiver Charles Nelson at safety at times. It was the sophomore’s first career appearance on defense, although he played at safety during the Spring Game. Nelson also played at receiver and on special teams during the game. Oregon’s initial drive ended with a 26-yard field goal from Aidan Schneider. Oregon switched to Alie midway through its second series, and he ran 8 yards for a touchdown to give Oregon a 9-3 lead. After Freeman’s 2-yard touchdown run, Falk hit Marks again with a 4-yard scoring pass just before the break to cut Oregon’s margin to 17-14 at halftime. Falk gave the Cougars a 21-17 lead early in the third quarter with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tavares Martin Jr. But Freeman caught a 17-year scoring pass from Lockie that put the Ducks back in front 24-21. He added a 1-yard scoring run early in the fourth quarter. Erik Powell added a 22-yard field goal for the Cougars before Falk’s game-tying drive.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk tied the school record with six touchdown passes, all in the first half, as Washington State beat Oregon State 52-31. Washington State (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12), coming off an upset victory at Oregon, hadn’t beaten a Pac-12 oppo-nent in Martin Stadium since November 2013. They have already eclipsed the three wins they had all of last season, and this was the 100th win of coach Mike Leach’s career. The Cougars scored on all seven of their first-half possessions and piled up 520 yards of offense. Quarterback Seth Collins threw for 176 yards and ran for 124 yards for Oregon State (2-4, 0-3), which gave up more than 40 points for the third consecutive week. The Beavers rushed for 215 yards in the game. Falk, who threw for 505 yards and five touchdowns at Oregon, completed 39 of 50 passes for 407 yards, with two interceptions. Dom Williams caught 11 passes for 158 yards and two touchdowns for WSU. Oregon State, under new coach Gary Andersen, produced 394 yards of total offense, but couldn’t slow the Cougars in the first half. Washington State’s Tavares Martin Jr. returned the opening kick-off 51 yards and the Cougars marched down the field, with Falk throwing a 3-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft. Oregon State went three-and-out, and Washington State replied with a 69-yard drive that ended with Falk’s 3-yard touchdown pass to Williams. Garrett Owens kicked a 50-yard field goal to put Oregon State on the scoreboard near the end of the first quarter. Gabe Marks caught a 23-yard touchdown pass from Falk in the opening seconds of the second quarter for a 21-3 lead. Oregon State tried a fake punt from its own 20, but punter Nick Porebski was dropped for a 6-yard loss. After a touchdown pass to Marks was called back for offensive interference, the Cougars had to settle for a 30-yard field goal by Erik Powell and a 24-3 lead. Oregon State’s Victor Bolden returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards down the right sideline to cut the WSU lead to 24-10. The Beavers then tried an onside kick, but the Cougars recovered on the 50. After a 28-yard reception by Williams, Falk’s fourth touchdown pass was for eight yards to Jamal Morrow. After an OSU punt, Washington State drove 69 yards, with Falk throwing a 22-yard touchdown pass to Morrow for a 38-10 lead. Oregon State’s Collins led an 80-yard drive that ended with his 12-yard touchdown run. But WSU replied with Falk’s 11-yard touchdown pass to Williams in the closing seconds of the half, for a 45-17 halftime lead. Falk’s six touchdown passes in the first half tied the school record for most touchdown passes in a full game, set by Connor Halliday last year. The Cougars had 399 yards of offense in the first half. Neither team scored in the third quarter. Collins threw a short touchdown pass to Jordan Villamin late in the fourth, to close within 45-25. The Beavers then recovered the on-side kick with 5:44 left in the game. But Collins was intercepted by Shalom Luani, who returned the ball 84 yards for a touchdown. Luani had a second interception to end Oregon State’s next possession. The Beavers came in with the Pac-12’s top-ranked pass defense, allowing an average of 177 yards a game.

OREGON STATE AT WASHINGTONOct. 17, 2015 • Martin Stadium • Att.: 32,952 • TV: Pac-12 Networks



Mike Leach is in his fourth season at Washington State University after being named the Cougars’ head football coach, Nov. 30, 2011.

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. Seven times the Cougars threw for more than 350 yards, including the season-ending, 31-28, overtime win against Washington. In a season that produced a 3-9 overall record, the Cougars saw a bit of a youth movement as 17 freshmen played and only four seniors started regularly. 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 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 consensus 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 Red Raiders improved their total offensive numbers from 324.8 yards per game to 531.0 yards per game since Leach’s arrival. Leach’s first nine seasons at Tech rank as the top nine all-time in total offense, while scoring went from 23 points per game in 1999 to a school-record 43.8 points in 2008. The most significant increase was in the passing game, where the Red Raiders averaged 475.3 yards per game in 2008 compared to 175.4 yards in 1999.

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

COACHING CAREER

EDUCATION

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.

The Red Raiders were not known solely for their play on the scoring side of the ball. The Texas Tech defense also flourished during Leach’s 10 seasons. Texas Tech held opponents without an offensive touchdown a dozen times under Leach, including seven shutouts. Three of the whitewashes came in 2000 when the Red Raiders tied for the national lead.

The play of the special teams also improved with each season. Former placekicker Alex Trlica holds the NCAA record with 233 career extra points and another record for extra points made without a miss. He finished with 377 career points, which ranks among the top 10 in NCAA history among kickers. While leading the Red Raiders to 76 wins in his nine seasons, Leach is the only coach in school history to lead ten teams to bowl games.

Although Leach’s presence was felt throughout the team, it also was beneficial for the players individually. In addition to picking up the Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2007, Harrell was the recipient of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame’s Post-Graduate Scholarship and was one of 15 players selected as a candidate for the prestigious Draddy Award, the academic Heisman. Harrell also ranked fourth in the 2008 Heisman voting, while Crabtree was fifth. Symons was the second Tech quarterback to receive The Touchdown Club of Columbus’ Sammy Baugh Trophy (Kingsbury in 2002).

Kingsbury, a 2002 All-Big 12 first-team quarterback and sixth-round draft pick of the New England Patriots, led the Big 12 Conference in several passing categories during his final three seasons and was a Heisman Trophy candidate in 2002. He also was named the Verizon Academic All-American of the Year for football and was awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.

In 2004, inside receiver Trey Haverty became Tech’s first Associated Press All-American since Montae Reagor in 1998, when he was selected to the third team. Free safety Dwayne Slay earned first-team All-America honors from Sports Illustrated in 2005, marking the first in seven seasons. Slay was one of the country’s most punishing tacklers that year and led the conference and finished second nationally with eight forced fumbles.

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. Crabtree became the highest draft pick at No. 10, since Gabe Rivera in 1983. Crabtree, selected by the San Francisco 49ers, is the highest drafted Tech receiver since Dave Parks went No. 1 overall in 1964.

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. Under Leach’s tutelage, Josh Heupel was named 1999 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. For his efforts, Leach was nominated for the 1999 Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country.

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.

The rise in passing and scoring offense categories is just as impressive. Oklahoma went from last to first in the Big 12 in passing offense in one year, from 107th in the country to ninth. Under Leach, the Sooners improved from 109.9 yards passing per game to 321.7 yards per game.

In 1998, Oklahoma was last in the Big 12 and 101st in the country in scoring offense at 16.7 points per game. In 1999, the Sooners improved to second in the league and eighth in the country in scoring at 36.8 points per game, an increase of just over 20 points per game.

Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records. The Sooners were one of only two schools in the nation to have six players with 20 or more receptions in 1999.

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. For two years at Kentucky under Mumme, Leach coached the Kentucky “Air Raid” offense that was one of the most explosive in Southeastern Conference history. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games.

Leach’s Kentucky offense featured the talented Tim Couch, who passed for 4,275 yards and 34 touchdowns as a senior and was the top pick of the 1999 NFL Draft.

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.
