FALK ADDS ANOTHER FOURTH-QUARTER COMEBACKLuke Falk hasn’t been a stranger to fourth-quarter comebacks. Falk has played in just 16 games and made 13 starts but already has led the Cougars to five fourth-quarter comebacks in his career. 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 remaining. 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. Against Arizona State, trailing 24-17 to start the fourth quarter, Falk led the Cougars on three touchdown drives (73, 99 and 75 yards) in the quarter, capping each one with touchdown throws to post a 38-24 victory. His most recent one came last Saturday at UCLA, trailing by three with 1:09 remaining, Falk led the Cougars on a seven-play 75-yard drive, capped by a 21-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks with three seconds remaining to knock off the No. 18 Bruins.

BY THE NUMBERS 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.

EKLUND EARNS “BONE” AWARD AFTER WIN AT UCLA Each week, Washington State coaches give out the “Bone” award to the offensive lineman who per-forms the best during the previous game. Each Cougar starting lineman owns at least one “Bone” award this season. Gunnar Eklund earned the award after a solid performance in the win at UCLA. Eklund started at left tackle and later switched to left guard in the second half. Portland State: None; at Rutgers: Joe Dahl; Wyoming: Gunnar Eklund; at California: None; at Oregon: Riley Sorenson; Or-egon State: Eduardo Middleton; at Arizona: Cole Madison; Stanford: None; Arizona State: Eduardo Middleton; at UCLA: Gunnar Eklund

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 run-ning backs coach Jim Mastro. WSU has already posted four 100-yard games this season after re-cording four 100-yard efforts the previous three seasons combined. Each player has had a breakout game this year with Wicks leading the way with 434 rushing yards while also owning 31 receptions. Harrington has caught 39 passes, averaged 7.2 per-carry and owns four touchdowns (3 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, scored his first career touchdowns on touchdown catches in the win over Oregon State and rushed for 59 yards in the win at Arizona. Against the Ducks, the trio combined for 289 all-purpose yards, 15 receptions and averaged 9.7 yards-per-carry. Against OSU, the Cougar backs averaged 7.6 per-carry before WSU racked up another 117 yards in the win at Arizona, its third straight 100-yard game for the first time since 2010. Both Harrington and Wicks caught touchdown passes in the win over Arizona State and Wicks rushed for another at UCLA. The Cougars have already rushed for 779 yards this year, the most in Mike Leach’s four seasons at WSU. The three backs have combined to average 6.0 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.

SPREADING THE BALL AROUNDWashington State enters the week as one of two teams in the country with seven players own-ing 20+ receptions this season. Last 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, Wil-liams, Lewis). Through 10 games, the Cougars have seen 10+ receivers catch a pass in each game. Redshirt-freshman Robert Lewis came up big for Cougars in the win against Arizona State, setting a career-high with 97 receiving yards on three catches while freshman wideout Kyle Sweet broke out with season-highs of seven catches for 77 yards.

CAREER 100-YARD GAMES MARKS NAMED BILETNIKOFF AWARD SEMIFINALIST, SETS WSU RECEPTIONS RECORDGabe Marks was named one of ten Biletnikoff Award semifinalists Tuesday, the second Cougar in as many years to be named a semifinalist after Vince Mayle earned the same honor last season. Marks, along with redshirt-senior wide out Dom Williams and junior River Cracraft were named to the watch list throughout the season, making WSU the only team from a power 5 conference with three players on the list and the only Pac-12 Conference team with multiple players on the list. Last season, three Cougars were named to the watch list including Cracraft, Mayle and Isiah Myers. Marks enters the week fourth in the country and leading the Pac-12 Conference in receptions (81), receptions-per-game (8.1) and touchdown receptions (13), and is second in the conference with 957 receiving yards. Marks has produced three 100-yard games this season and also owns the school record with five career games with 10+ receptions. The Venice, Calif. native is coming off a record-breaking performance in the win at No. 18 UCLA, catching 12 passes for 97 yards and two touch-downs including the go-ahead 21-yard score with three seconds remaining. In the win, Marks broke Michael Bumpus’ school record for career receptions (195) and enters Saturday’s game against Colorado with 204 career catches and tied for fourth in school history with 22 career touchdown catches. Marks has put up big numbers in WSU’s four road wins, setting a career-high with 14 catches and tied a career-high with 146 yards and a touchdown in the win at Rutgers, grabbing eight passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns in the win at Oregon, set a school-record with four touchdowns, tying the Pac-12 mark, in the win at Arizona before putting up the numbers at UCLA.

WILLIAMS ADDED TO BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LISTDom Williams was added to the 2015 Biletnikoff Award Watch List Oct. 28. The Biletnikoff Award annually recognizes the outstanding receiver at any position 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 semifinalists. Williams enters the week fourth in the Pac-12 with eight touchdowns and 879 receiving yards, and fifth with 61 receptions. The 10 Biletnikoff Award semifinalists will be announced Nov. 16, three finalists will be declared Nov. 24 and winner an-nounced Dec. 10.

CRACRAFT NAMED TO PRESEASON BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LISTJunior wide receiver River Cracraft was named to the 2015 Biletnikoff Award Watch List prior to the season. 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. In 2015, Cra-craft is seventh in the Pac-12 with 48 receptions and tenth in receiving yards (552). He has caught four touchdowns and produced two 100-yard games.

LINEBACKERS LEAD THE WAYThe Cougar linebackers have filled up the stat sheet this season with redshirt-sophomore Peyton Pelluer is fourth in the Pac-12 with 8.4 tackles-per game (84 total) along with 9.5 tackles-for-loss, tied for ninth-most in the conference. Senior Jeremiah Allison is 11th in the Pac-12 averaging 7.3 tackles-per-contest (73 total) after leading the Cougars in tackles in each of the first two games, 12 against Portland State and 11 at Rutgers. Allison added 10 tackles in the Arizona State win. Pelluer tallied a career-best 14 stops against Wyoming and has shared the team-high in tackles in the win at Oregon (8), the win over Oregon State (11), 10 against Stanford and made a team-best eight last week at UCLA. 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.

PELLUER NAMED TO ACADEMIC ALL-DISTRICT VIII FIRST TEAMPeyton Pelluer was named to the 2015 Academic All-District VIII First Team as selected by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA). Pelluer, from Sammamish, Wash., is a first-time honoree as a redshirt sophomore this season. The linebacker boasts a 3.57 GPA while majoring in history with an emphasis in secondary education. The fourth-generation Cougar, whose father, grandfather, and great grandfather all played football for the Cougars, was a Pac-12 All-Academic First Team selection last season.

GET THE BALL BACKFirst-year WSU defensive coordinator Alex Grinch has emphasized the need to force turnovers and get the ball back to Air Raid offense and the Cougars have done just that. Washington State has forced 18 turnovers in 2015, tied for fifth in the Pac-12 and more than double last season’s total of eight. The Cougars own eight interceptions, are tied for the Pac-12 lead with 10 fumble recoveries and have turned the 18 turnovers into 44 points this season.

COUGARS IN THE NFL

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 sophomore cor-nerback Marcellus Pippins returned as the veterans this season. Taliulu is a three-year starter and Pippins started the final two games last season. The Cougars have received a sold contribution from true freshman Darrien Molton (28 tackles, 1 INT, 1 forced fumble, 1 fumble recovery) at cornerback while junior college transfer Shalom Luani has emerged as a playmaker after starting all 10 games at safety. Luani is third on the team with 70 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 intercep-tions, eight pass breakups, one fumble recovery and 40 tackles.

DEFENSE PUTS THE PRESSURE ONWashington State has racked up 23 sacks and is 12th in the country with 7.9 tackles-for-loss per game (79 Total), the second-best average in the Pac-12. 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. Darryl Paulo enters Saturday with a team-best 10.5 tackles-for-loss, tied for seventh in the Pac-12 and Palacio owns a team-best five sacks, tied for seventh in the conference. Against Wyoming, WSU recorded 14 TFL’s, tied for third-most in school history, posted 11 TFL’s at Cal and eight more against Arizona State.

SPECIAL TEAMS FULL OF NEWCOMERSWashington State has seen a couple new faces contribute on special teams this season. Freshman punter Zach Charme owns seven punts of 50+ yards and has put 10 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 produced returns of 29 and 34 yards in his collegiate debut against Portland State, a 40-yarder at California and a game-opening 51-yard return against Oregon State. He en-ters Saturday seventh in the Pac-12 averaging 23.5 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 and is 8-for-11 on the season. Against Stanford, he tied a school record with five field goals (46, 23, 47, 28, 28). Powell is 15-of-19 on the season, tied for the ninth-most makes in WSU single-season history.

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 play-ers to Pullman in his three seasons at Washington State. The 2015 roster has 15 players who are of Polynesian decent including seven who list their hometown from American Samoa.

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, Mi-chael 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.

COUGAR ACCOLADES



CARDIAC KIDS REVISITEDWashington State’s 2015 season is reminding many Cougar fans of the 1965 Cardiac Kids, the Cou-gar squad that became known for late-game heroics en route to a 7-3 season. That season WSU had four, late-game victories, three being road wins. The same is occurring 50 years later as the 2015 Cougars are also 7-3, with two games to play. They have registered four, fourth-quarter comebacks, with three wins coming in the final minute or overtime, all on the road.

2015 LAST-MINUTE VICTORIESat UCLA (31-27) - Luke Falk’s 21-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks capped a 7-play, 75-yard touchdown drive with 0:03 seconds remaining for the come-from-behind win.Arizona State (38-24) – Training 21-17 entering the fourth quarter, WSU outscored the Sun Devils 21-3 in the final period behind three touchdown passes from Luke Falk.at Oregon (45-38 2OT) – Luke Falk’s 8-yard touchdown pass to Dom Williams with 0:01 remaining capped a 70-yard drive that lasted 1:58 to send the game into overtime, which WSU won in the second overtime. at Rutgers (37-34) – Trailing 34-30 with 1:31 to play, Luke Falk engineered a 10-play, 91-yard drive capped by an 8-yard pass to River Cracraft for the game-winning score with 0:13 remaining.

COUGARS SIGN PAIR TO FINANCIAL AID AGREEMENTSWSU got a head start on the 2016 signing class by signing two players to financial aid agreements two weeks ago. 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 agree-ments, 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 pros-pect 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 174 after last week’s appearance at Baylor. 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.

WSUCOUGARS.COM 9

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.

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 “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.” Allison is one of 80 football student-athletes considered 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 charitable work and community work.

NEW COUGAR FOOTBALL BROADCAST TEAMHall of fame announcer Bob Robertson is in his 49th season calling Cougar football games, and according to a nation-wide survey of sports information directors, is the longest tenured radio an-nouncer in the country with the next closest being Bill Hillgrove who has announced 45 straight seasons at Pitt. Robertson 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 McIntyre, 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 Na-meck 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 Washington). Cougar fans had a chance to hear Chazanow last November when he called the WSU men’s basketball broadcasts at the Great Alaska Shootout.

TYPICAL TUESDAY SCHEDULE



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.

Ranked 6th in nation in Amateur Wrestling News 1985 All-America teamCareer totals: 95-41-5

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.

FAMILY TIES

HOBBY HUDDLE

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 MEETINGSept. 22, 2012

Colorado def. WASHINGTON STATE, 35-34PULLMAN, Wash. – Jordan Webb scored on a 4-yard run in the final seconds, the last of three Colorado touchdowns in the final 7 minutes, to beat Washing-ton State 35-34. Connor Halliday threw four touch-down passes for Washington State. Washington State was ahead 34-28 when Colorado took over on its 30 and marched to the WSU 4. On fourth down, Webb bootlegged up the middle for a touchdown to tie the score. Will Oliver’s extra point gave Colorado its first lead, 35-34, with 9 seconds left. The game was played in air thick with smoke from wildfires 200 miles away in central Washington. Washington State was coming off wins over Eastern Washington and UNLV. Wash-ington State scored on its first possession, when a scrambling Halliday hit Gabe Marks in the end zone with a 32-yard pass for a 7-0 lead. Colorado replied with a crisp 75-yard drive that ended when Webb connected with Nelson Spruce on a 16-yard touch-down to tie the score. Webb completed all five of his passes on the drive. Halliday was intercepted near the Colorado goal line by Jered Bell on WSU’s next pos-session. Colorado’s drive stalled at WSU’s 13 and Will Oliver missed the 30-yard field goal attempt. Marquess Wilson caught a 23-yard scoring pass from Halliday as WSU took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter. Colorado fumbled the ball away at its own 39 on its next possession. Halliday’s 15-yard touchdown pass to Isiah Myers put WSU ahead 21-7 with 11:48 left in the first half. The drive was kept alive when Halliday hit Myers on fourth-and-8 for an 11-yard gain. In the third, Carl Winston fumbled deep in WSU territory on the Cougars’ first possession, and Terrel Smith picked the ball up on the 10 and ran it down to the 1. Webb ran the ball over on the next play as Colorado closed to within 21-14. Furney missed a 53-yard field goal attempt for WSU on their next possession. Daniel Simmons inter-cepted Webb on the next series, and Halliday threw a short pass to Wilson, who turned it into a 49-yard touchdown reception and a 28-14 lead for Washington State. A shanked punt gave WSU possession on Colo-rado’s 30, but the Cougars couldn’t move the ball and settled for Furney’s 45-yard field goal and a 31-14 lead early in the fourth, setting the stage for the Buffaloes’ comeback.

LAST MEETING IN BOULDEROct. 1, 2011

Washington State def. COLORADO, 31-27 BOULDER, Colo. – Marquess Wilson sped past two de-fenders and hauled in a 63-yard touchdown pass from Marshall Lobbestael with 1:10 left to lead Washington State to a stunning 31-27 comeback win over Colorado. The Buffaloes (1-4, 0-1) were primed for a win in their Pac-12 debut before surrendering two touchdowns in the final 2 1/2 minutes. Colorado had thwarted Wash-ington State’s high-powered aerial attack most of the afternoon with a patchwork secondary that included two converted offensive players. Lobbestael threw for 376 yards and three touchdowns in leading the Cougars (3-1, 1-0) to just their second road win in four years under coach Paul Wulff. The Buffaloes led 27-17 with 5:11 left after Rodney Stewart’s 1-yard TD run, which he set up with a 52-yard scamper to the Wash-ington State 21. Lobbestael led Washington State 77 yards in seven plays, hitting Isiah Barton from 19 yards out with 2:35 left to pull the Cougars within a field goal.With three timeouts remaining, Wulff elected to forgo a risky onside kick, and the strategy paid off when the Cougars forced a punt and got the ball back with 1:50 left. This time, they needed just 40 seconds to cover 90 yards. Bottled up for much of the afternoon - 58 yards on five catches - Wilson sped past cornerback Greg Henderson and safety Anthony Perkins and was wide open as he hauled in the pass and raced into the end zone. The Buffs had one more chance, but receiver Paul Richardson was stripped of the ball by cornerback Damante Horton after a 23-yard gain and linebacker C.J. Mizell recovered for Washington State at its 39 with just under a minute left. Afterward, Buf-faloes coach Jon Embree declared he was tired of los-ing and ripped into his team for finding a way to lose another winnable game. Until the final few minutes, it looked like the Buffs were going to win despite a rash of injuries that has sidelined six cornerbacks - a sev-enth missed the game while tending to a family matter - forcing converted wide receiver Jason Espinoza and converted tailback Brian Lockridge to line up as de-fensive backs when the Cougars went with multiple-receiver sets. Espinoza had a quarterback hurry that forced a punt, and Lockridge, who had never played defense before Monday, had five tackles and a sack. Tyler Hansen threw touchdown passes of 9 yards to Richardson and 4 yards to Toney Clemons, the lat-ter giving Colorado a 20-10 lead in the third quarter. Lobbestael responded with an 11-yard TD strike to fullback Jared Byers to keep it close. Will Oliver’s third field goal, a 48-yarder as the first half expired, gave Colorado a 13-10 halftime lead. It came just 16 seconds after Andrew Furney tied the game with a 28-yarder following Hansen’s first interception in 133 passes.

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.

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.

GAME RECAPS

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.

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 WASHINGTON STATEOct. 17, 2015 • Martin Stadium • Att.: 32,952 • TV: Pac-12 Networks


WSUCOUGARS.COM 37

TUCSON, Ariz. – Luke Falk threw for 514 yards and hit Gabe Marks on four of his five touchdown passes, helping resurgent Washington State beat Arizona 45-42. Washington State (5-2, 3-1 Pac-12) beat Oregon in Eugene two weeks ago and tacked on another impressive road victory behind the arm of Falk to remain in the thick of the Pac-12 North race. The sophomore completed 47 of 62 passes and had the most passing yards ever against Arizona, breaking the mark of 511 yards set by Arizona State’s Ryan Kealy in 1998. Marks caught eight passes for 97 yards, the last one a 9-yard touchdown that put the Cougars up 45-35. Arizona (5-3, 2-3 Pac-12) rallied in the second half after Jerrard Ran-dall replaced Anu Solomon at quarterback, but the Wildcats had no answer for Falk and Washington State’s Air Raid offense. Randall threw for 137 yards and ran for 105 on 10 carries. He hit Johnny Jackson on a 20-yard touchdown pass with 44 seconds left, but the Wildcats failed to come up with the onside kick. Arizona rolled over Washington State 59-37 in Pullman last season in a game that featured 994 yards of offense. This one had 1,114 total yards, though the Cougars got off to a quicker start behind Falk, who had thrown for 911 yards and 11 touchdowns the previous two games combined. Given all kinds of time to throw by his offensive line, he made it look easy picking apart Arizona’s secondary. Falk hit Marks on a 6-yard touchdown on the opening drive, then Marks turned a short pass into a 43-yard score and 14-0 lead. Falk found Marks for a third score in the second quarter, a 1-yarder, and hit Kyrin Priester in the corner of the end zone for a 6-yard TD that put Washington up 28-14. Falk had 335 yards and four touchdowns on 30-of-38 passing in the first half, helping Washington State build a 31-21 lead. Arizona took a while to get its offense in gear, finally putting together a drive that led to Jared Baker’s 1-yard touchdown run to open the second quarter. Nate Phillips followed with a 69-yard punt return touchdown that tied the game at 14-all, but Shun Brown fumbled a kickoff to set up Priester’s touchdown. Baker added a 7-yard touchdown run in the second quarter to keep the Wildcats within reach at halftime. Falk kept firing and completing to start the second half, hitting Kyle Sweet on a 28-yard pass on third-and-19 to set up Gerard Wicks’ 1-yard touchdown run to put the Cougars up 38-21. Randall replaced Solomon on Arizona’s second drive and reeled off a 59-yard run on his first play, but that drive ended with a turnover on downs at Washington State’s 11. Next series, Randall found Cayleb Jones on a 3-yard touchdown pass to pull the Wildcats within 38-28 late in the third quarter. Randall converted a fourth-and-2 with a run on the next drive and Baker pulled the Wildcats within 38-35 with a 6-yard touchdown run. Falk ended Arizona’s rally with a 9-yard touchdown pass to Marks, putting Washington State up 45-35.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State kicker Erik Powell finally missed on his sixth kick of the game, going wide right on a 43-yarder as time expired to allow No. 8 Stanford to escape with a 30-28 win. Powell tied Drew Dunning’s 2003 school record with five field goals despite rainy, windy conditions, but pulled the last one wide. Conrad Ukropina kicked a 19-yard field goal with 1:54 left to put Stanford ahead. Quarterback Kevin Hogan ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns for Stanford (7-1, 6-0 Pac-12), which is the only undefeated team in Pac-12 play. Washington State (5-3, 3-2) had a three-game winning streak snapped. The Cougars haven’t beaten a Top 10 team since topping No. 5 Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl. Stanford punted while trailing 28-27 with 5:08 left, but got the ball back on Quenton Meeks’ second interception of the game with 3:27 remaining. That set up Ukropina’s field goal. Stanford scored first on Ukropina’s 32-yard field goal, but then Powell hit four straight kicks — including makes from 46 and 47 yards — to put Washington State up 12-3 at halftime. The Cougars opened the second half by driving to the Stanford 11, but two incomplete passes killed the drive and Powell kicked a 28-yard field goal for a 15-3 lead. Stanford replied with the game’s first touchdown on Remound Wright’s 2-yard dive. The score was set up by Hogan’s 39-yard bootleg scramble. Washington State came right back with a 75-yard drive in four plays, the final a 19-yard touchdown pass from Luke Falk to Gabe Marks for a 22-10 lead. Ukropina kicked a 32-yard field goal late in the third, then Hogan’s 59-yard touchdown run cut the Washington State lead to 22-20. On the next series, Meeks intercepted Falk, giving Stanford the ball on Washington State’s 17. Hogan ran 6 yards untouched up the middle to give Stanford a 27-22 lead in the opening seconds of the fourth. Washington State came back with an 81-yard drive that ended with Falk hitting River Cracraft for a 1-yard touchdown pass. Falk’s conversion pass failed and the Cougars led 28-27. After Ukropina’s kick, Washington State marched to the Stanford 29 and Powell hooked his attempt wide. The Cardinal have won seven straight over the Cougars.

NO. 8 STANFORD AT WASHINGTON STATEOct. 31, 2015 • Martin Stadium • Att.: 30,012 • TV: ESPN



PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk threw for 497 yards and five touchdowns as Washington State beat Arizona State 38-24 Saturday to become bowl-eligible for the second time in coach Mike Leach’s four years with the program. Dom Wil-liams caught six passes for 123 yards and two touchdowns for Washington State (6-3, 4-2 Pac-12), which overcame a 14-0 first quarter deficit. Arizona State (4-5, 2-4) scored a touchdown on each of its first two possessions, then was held to one more the rest of the game. It was the Sun Devils’ third consecutive loss. Washington State, which lost on a last-second missed field goal last week against No. 9 Stanford, managed to protect Falk from one of the best pass rushes in the Pac-12. He completed 36 of 55 passes, with one interception, and was sacked three times. Arizona State quarterback Mike Bercovici completed 27 of 44 passes for 229 yards. The Sun Devils did get 111 rushing yards from Demario Richard and 84 from Kalen Ballage. Jamal Morrow, Keith Harrington and John Thompson each caught touchdown passes for Washington State. Arizona State scored on its opening drive, with Richard running into the end zone from the 6-yard line. Richard had runs of 26 and 15 yards during the 70-yard drive. Ballage scored on a 9-yard run on Arizona State’s second series, capping a 64-yard drive, for a 14-0 lead midway through the first quarter. Falk was intercepted by Kareem Orr on the first play of the ensuing series, giving the Sun Devils the ball at WSU’s 22. Ber-covici tried to run in on fourth down from the 3-yard line and was tackled for no gain, turning the ball over on downs. Washington State took over and marched 92 yards down to the 5-yard line, where the drive stalled. Erik Powell kicked a 22-yard field goal to put the Cougars on the scoreboard. On the next series, Marcellus Pippins recovered an Arizona State fumble at WSU’s 32, but the Cougars had to punt. The Cougars got the ball back at the Arizona State 16 on a 38-yard punt return by Gabe Marks. Washington State failed to convert on fourth-and-5, but got a second chance on an inadvertent whistle by a game official. Falk then threw an 11-yard touchdown pass to Williams to cut Arizona State’s lead to 14-10 at halftime. Falk threw a 23-yard touchdown pass to Harrington on WSU’s first drive of the second half, lifting the Cougars to their first lead at 17-14. The drive covered 94 yards in nine plays. Arizona State used a trick play on fourth-and-12 to keep its next drive alive. Punter Matt Haack threw a pass to a wide open D.J. Foster for a 27-yard gain, giving the Sun Devils first down on the WSU 13. Bercovici ran over from the 1 to lift the Sun Devils to a 21-17 lead late in the third. Washington State replied with a 73-yard drive, kept alive by a 16-yard pass reception by Marks on fourth-and-1. Thompson caught an 8-yard touchdown pass from Falk to put the Cougars up 24-21 with 13 minutes left in the game. After an ASU punt pinned them on the 1-yard line, Washington State drove 99 yards, with Falk throwing the final 12 to Morrow for a touchdown. That put the Cougars ahead 31-21 with 8 minutes left. Zane Gonzalez kicked a 22-yard field goal with 4:13 left to cut Washington State’s lead to 31-24. The Cougars replied with a 75-yard touchdown pass from Falk to Williams on the first play of the ensuing possession for a 38-24 lead.

GAME RECAPS

PASADENA, Calif. – Gabe Marks made a diving 21-yard touchdown reception with 3 seconds to play, sending Wash-ington State to a jaw-dropping 31-27 victory over No. 18 UCLA. Josh Rosen scrambled 37 yards and dived for the go-ahead touchdown with 1:09 to play for the Bruins (7-3, 4-3 Pac-12), capping a desperate 80-yard drive. Luke Falk answered for Washington State (7-3, 5-2) with his own spectacular 75-yard drive ending with a remarkable, physical catch by Marks, who became the Cougars’ career receptions leader earlier in the game with his 196th catch. Falk returned from a mid-game injury after passing a concussion protocol to throw for 331 yards. He threw two TD passes to Marks, and the Cougars punctuated their resurgent season with their first win over a ranked team in 10 tries since 2013. Coach Mike Leach’s club has won five of its last six games, giving the Cougars seven victories for the first time since 2003. Rosen went 33 for 57 for 340 yards, and the precocious freshman appeared to clinch the win after Jaleel Wadood’s end-zone interception with 3:13 left. Rosen sprinted through the defense for his score and subsequently hit Thomas Duarte for the 2-point conversion. But the Cougars went 75 yards in 66 seconds, and Marks hung on to the ball despite contact with the UCLA defender. The Bruins were whistled for pass interference on the play. UCLA lost after leading at halftime for the first time in 32 games under coach Jim Mora. The Bruins had won their last three games after a two-game skid and also lost despite holding Washington State’s prolific Air Raid offense to 288 yards in the first three quarters. Nate Starks had an early TD run for the Bruins, who still control their fate in the Pac-12 South despite a mediocre home finale. UCLA would win the division with season-ending road victories over Utah and Southern California. Although Washington State would still need ample help to contend for the Pac-12 North title, Stanford’s loss to Oregon gave the Cougars reason to hope their comeback season could get even better. Falk returned to the game in the second half after taking a violent sack and leaving the field in the second quarter. Falk, the Pac-12’s leader in yards passing and total offense, appeared to hit his head on the ground while getting hit by Jacob Tuioti-Mariner. Freshman Peyton Bender threw his first career touchdown pass to Dom Williams during Falk’s absence. The Bruins allowed Washington State to stay close by hurting themselves: Ishmael Adams fumbled a punt return at the UCLA 14 in the second quarter and then committed defensive holding while his teammates sacked Bender on third down, allowing Bender to hit Williams for a short TD and a 14-13 lead on the extra snap. UCLA kicker Ka’imi Fairbairn became the leading scorer in Pac-12 history with his 392nd career point when the Bruins’ opening drive ended with a 22-yard field goal. UCLA center Jake Brendel set a school record on the same drive with his 49th career start, surpassing linebacker Spencer Havner’s 10-year-old mark. Marks’ TD catch midway through the third quarter put Washington State up 21-16. Marks broke Michael Bumpus’ school receptions record early in the second half.

WSUCOUGARS.COM 39

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.
