ABOUT WSU-CU SERIESColorado leads the all-time series 5-4 but WSU recorded a 27-3 victory last season in Pullman. The Cougars own a 3-2 series record in Boulder and have won the last two meetings including come-from-behind 31-27 victory in 2011, the first season of the Pac-12. Head coach Mike Leach will be making his first appearance in Boulder since 2006 when he was with Texas Tech.

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 now at 189 after last week’s appearance at Washington. Two flags – Ol’ Crimson and Gray – have been flown in the background of the GameDay set by dozens of friends and alumni. The Gray flag was added in 2014 after Whitey was retired in honor of Steve Gleason’s “No White Flags.” WSU recognized the GameDay flag wavers in a pregame ceremony prior to the Montana State game in 2010. In addition to the flags that fly, there is a traveling flag signed by the holders after each episode. The traveling flag is retired after each season, the first of which is hanging in WSU’s Alumni Center.

YOUNG COUGS TAKE THE FIELD Washington State has seen 18 players make their debuts in 2016 with 14 players recording their first career start including 10 on defense. Six true freshmen have played for the Cougars including Isaiah Johnson-Mack (WR), Frederick Mauigoa (OL), Derek Moore (DE), Dezmon Patmon (WR), Marcus Strong (CB) and Jalen Thompson (S). Thompson has started all 10 games at strong safety and Moore has started at End twice this season. Last season, the Cougars saw 23 players make their debuts and 11 make their first career start while 14 fresh-men contributed including seven true freshmen.

COUGARS OPEN PAC-12 PLAY 7-0Washington State has started conference play 7-0 for the first time in program history. The Cougars own wins over Oregon, Stanford, UCLA and Ari-zona State in the same season for the first time since 2006. WSU beat Oregon for the second straight season for the first time since 2002-03, beat UCLA in two straight meetings for the first time since 2006-07 and notched their first win at Stanford since 2006. The win at Arizona State was Washington State’s first win in Tempe since 2001. The eight-game winning streak is the longest since the 1930 team started the year 9-0 before falling to Alabama in the Rose Bowl. WSU is looking for its first 9-2 start since 2003 and its first nine-game winning streak since winning the first nine games of the 1930 season.

FALK CONTINUES TO RACK UP THE NUMBERS (PAGE 17)Quarterback Luke Falk picked up where he left off from 2015, as one of the leading quarterbacks in the country. Falk opened the season with 418 yards and four touchdowns against Eastern Wash-ington, followed with 480 yards and four more scores at Boise State while nearly leading WSU to a fourth-quarter comeback. He added three more touchdown passes in the win over Idaho, threw for 371 yards in the win over Oregon and tossed four touchdowns in a 357-yard effort at Stanford. Falk, who did not throw a touchdown pass for the first time in his career against UCLA but followed with three touchdowns in the win at Arizona State. He tossed a season-high five touchdowns in the come-from-behind win at Oregon State, added four more in the win over Arizona before against throwing five in the win over California. The redshirt-junior enters the week second in the country in passing yards per game (361.0), fifth in passing touchdowns (33) and with the nation’s highest completion percentage (.739). Falk owns as school-record 22 career 300-yard games, is second in WSU history with 84 career touchdown passes, third in career passing yards (10,035) and owns the second-most wins by a QB in school history with 18, trailing Jason Gesser’s school-best 24.

FALK RECORD WATCH - Needs seven TD passes to break Connor Halliday’s WSU record for career TD passes (90)- Needs 878 passing yards to pass Brink for second in career passing yards in WSU history- Sits ninth in Pac-12 history with 84 career TD passes (Page 5)

NATIONAL AWARD WATCH FOR FALKQuarterback Luke Falk is one of 18 semifinalists for the Maxwell Award, given to America’s College Player of the Year, one of 18 semifinalists for the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award for the second straight year and a finalist for the Burlsworth Trophy (Top former walk-on) for the second straight year. He was also named one for five finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award given to the nation’s top junior or senior quarterback. Falk was named to the Davey O’Brien “Great 8”quarterbacks following his impressive performances in the wins at No. 15 Stanford, at Arizona State, at Oregon State, against Arizona and California. Falk went 30-of-41 for 357 yards and four touchdowns to lead WSU to its first win over the Cardinal since 2007. In the win over the Sun Devils, Falk went 42-of-53 for 398 yards and three touchdowns to lead WSU to its first win in Tempe since 2001. In the OSU win, the Logan, Utah native threw for 415 yards including five touchdowns and re-corded his sixth career comeback victory and threw four touchdowns against OSU. He’s also been named one of the Manning Award Stars for the Week three different times.

FALK SETS WSU RECORD FOR COMPLETION PERCENTAGE In the win over Arizona, Luke Falk completed 32-of-35 passes for 311 yards and four touchdowns. His 91.4 completion percentage was a WSU record and a Pac-12 record for 30+ completions, break-ing Dick Norman’s (Stanford, 1959) previous record of 87.1. Falk completed 21 consecutive passes at one point, one away from Aaron Rodgers’ (Cal) record of 22. The Cougars combined for a 90.3 completion percentage to set an NCAA FBS record for 30+ completions after going 47-of-52.

FALK ADDS ANOTHER FOURTH-QUARTER COMEBACKLuke Falk is no stranger to leading fourth-quarter comebacks, recording the sixth of his career in the win at Oregon State last weekend. The first came in 2014 at Oregon State, WSU trailed early in the fourth and Falk led a pair of scoring drives for a 39-32 victory. In 2015, trailing by four with 1:31 remaining at Rutgers, Falk led WSU on a 10-play, 90-yard drive capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass to River Cracraft with 13 seconds remaining. In the win at Oregon, Falk led 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 sec-ond 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 last one in 2015 came at No. 18 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 Bruins. In the win at Oregon State, the Cougars trailed by three early in the fourth quarter before Falk led WSU on an 80-yard scoring drive midway through the quarter. Falk capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown pass to Robert Lewis that proved to be the game-winner.

NEW LOOK LINE SETTLING INThe offensive line’s new look in 2016 has taken the Cougar offense to a similar elite level. Despite the departures of three-year starters left tackle Joe Dahl (5th-RD draft pick by Detroit) and Gunnar Eklund at left guard (45 starts), the new line has produced the second-ranked passing offense in the country and six games with 100+ rushing yards including three 200-yard efforts. The Cougars re-turned a trio of starters in center Riley Sorenson (now with 31 starts), right guard Eduardo Middleton (35 starts) and right tackle Cole Madison (31 starts) who have started next to one another for the past two-plus seasons. Taking over at left tackle was redshirt-sophomore Andre Dillard who appeared at left tackle in three games last year, made his collegiate debut in the second half at UCLA and went on to start against Colorado and at Washington. At left guard, redshirt-junior Cody O’Connell is in his first season as a starter after playing on the field goal team all of last season.

OFFENSIVE LINE AMONG NATIONAL LEADERS According the website footballoutsiders.com, the Cougar offensive line sits near the top of a couple categories. WSU enters the week leading the country in “Stuff Rate” (11.5%) that is the percent-age of carries by running backs that are stopped at or before the line of scrimmage. WSU also sits seventh in the country in “Power Success Rate” (84.0 %) that is the percentage of runs on 3rd or 4th down, two yards or less to go, that achieved a first down or touchdown. The Cougars also ranked sixth in “Opportunity Rate” (46.2%) that is the percentage of carries (when 5 yards are available) that gain at least five yards, i.e. the percentage of carries in which the line does its job.

COUGAR OFFENSIVE LINE “BONE” AWARDS Each week, Washington State coaches give out the “Bone Award” to the offensive lineman who per-forms the best during the previous game. Left guard Cody O’Connell claimed the first three “Bone” awards after the wins over Idaho, Oregon and at Stanford, right tackle Cole Madison earned the award after beating UCLA, center Riley Sorenson claimed the award after the win at Arizona State and left tackle Andre Dillard earned his first career “Bone Award” honor after the win at Oregon State. Madison earned the award after the big win over Arizona and again after last week’s win over California, his second straight and third of the season. The awards in 2016: Eastern Washing-ton: None; at Boise State: None; Idaho: Cody O’Connell; Oregon: Cody O’Connell; at Stanford: Cody O’Connell; UCLA: Cole Madison; at Arizona State: Riley Sorenson; at Oregon State: Andre Dillard; Arizona: Cole Madison; California: Cole Madison

OFFENSIVE LINE BULKED UPNot only have the Cougars produced big offensive numbers, leading the country in passing the past two seasons, WSU has produced bigger offensive linemen. The size of the front five has gone up each season with the 2016 offensive line averaging 322.6 pounds. Last season, the Cougars averaged nearly 310 lbs after averaging 288.6 in 2012, 288.2 in 2013 and 309.4 lbs in 2014.

ALL-PURPOSE BACKSThe Cougar running backs have elevated their games in 2016, posting back-to-back 200-yard games in the wins over Idaho and Oregon. They added 101 yards (2 TDs) in the win at No. 15 Stanford, three rushing touchdowns in the win over UCLA, 137 rushing yards at Oregon State and 140 more with three touchdowns against Arizona. WSU enters the week averaging 132.0 yards-per-game and have rushed for 22 touchdowns, the most since the 1997 team also ran for 27 scores. The trio of redshirt-juniors Jamal Morrow and Gerard Wicks, and redshirt-freshman James Williams each own a 100-yard effort this season, Williams - 126 against Idaho, Morrow - 122 against Oregon and Wicks - 128 vs. California. WSU running backs lead the Pac-12 with 2,229 total yards and 29 total touchdowns.. The backs combine for 106 receptions, average 234.3 all-purpose yards-per-game and have scored 29 total touchdowns. The Cougars have rushed for 100+ yards six times this season after reaching that mark five times in 2015 and just four times in the previous three seasons combined. WSU aver-aged 80.1 rushing yards per game in 2015, doubling its average from 2014 (39.1).

COUGAR RUSHING ATTACK BREAKS OUTThe Cougar running game has erupted this year, rushing for 200+ yards three times against Ida-ho, Oregon and California. Against the Ducks, WSU rushed for 280 yards (most since 2006) and six touchdowns (the most since 1997). Morrow, Wicks and Williams each scored twice and combined for 389 all-purpose yards while averaging 7.8 yards-per-carry in the win. In the week three win over Idaho, the Cougars rushed for 228 yards, led by Williams with 126 yards and a score, the first 100-yard rusher since Wicks ran for 123 against Colorado last season. Williams’ mark was the most since Dwight Tardy posted 214 at UCLA in 2007 and was the first Cougar freshman to record a 100-yard game since Tardy in the 2006 Apple Cup. The Cougars had three different running backs score touchdowns in the win as Williams and Wicks each rushed for score, and walk-on Alijah Lee spun his way with a gritty six-yard touchdown carry to cap the day. Against California last week, WSU tallied 254 yards including a season-high 128 from Wicks who averaged a WSU single-game record 14.2 yards per- carry.

MORROW SETS WSU RECORD FOR RECEPTIONS BY RUNNING BACKSRunning back Jamal Morrow has done a little of everything for the Cougar offense, rushing, receiv-ing, blocking and he now owns the school record for receptions by a running back. The redshirt-junior owns 136 career catches, breaking Steve Broussard’s previous top mark of 120. Morrow also sits 12 receptions away from moving into the WSU Top-10 for receptions. He enters the week lead-ing the team with 966 all-purpose yards, averaging 96.6 all-purpose yards-per-game (11th in the Pac-12), second on the team with 456 rushing yards, third on the team with eight total touchdowns and fourth on the team with 42 catches.

CAPTAIN MORROW COME ON DOWNJamal Morrow has served as the WSU game captain for the past 19 games and coach Leach finally revealed why. In August of 2013, Morrow was a contestant on The Price is Right, reaching a show-case showdown and coach Leach thought he would be good at the coin toss. Morrow began the streak in WSU’s double-overtime win at Oregon last season. The Cougars are 15-4 during the stretch and Morrow is 7-1 in correctly calling the toss, WSU is 6-2 when he wins a coin toss and WSU has been on the winning end of the toss 15 times in those 19 games.

SPREADING THE BALL AROUNDWashington State was the only team in the country with 10 players who recorded 20+ receptions last season and was the only Power-5 Conference team with two players owning double-digit touch-down receptions. Washington State opened the season with 10 players catching a pass in each of the first two games, nine caught a pass in the win over Idaho, 11 different players had a catch in wins over Oregon, Stanford and Arizona State and 10 caught a pass at Oregon State. Against Ari-zona, 14 different Cougars caught pass, the most under coach Leach at WSU, and 12 more caught a pass last week against Cal. The Cougars are the only team in the country with four players owning 40+ catches.

MARKS SETS WSU RECORDS FOR RECEPTIONS, RECEIVING TOUCHDOWNS AND YARDS (PAGE 17)Gabe Marks finished his climb up the Pac-12 Conference and Washington State record books last week, setting the conference record for career receptions with 295, breaking Colorado’s Nelson Spruce previous mark of 294. Marks also tallied 87 receiving yards in last week’s win over California, breaking the WSU record for career receiving yards (Marquess Wilson, 3,207) and now owns 3,268 career receiving yards. Marks also caught two more touchdowns, upping his school record to 36, five behind Dwayne Jarret’s (USC) Pac-12 record of 41. Marks enters the week with team highs of 12 touchdowns, 68 receptions, 709 receiving yards and three 100-yard games.

CAREER 100-YD REC GMS CRACRAFT COMES ALIVE (PAGES 17)After a quiet first four games of 2016, senior wideout River Cracraft has put up big numbers over the last six games. In the win at No. 15 Stanford, Cracraft caught seven passes for 130 yards and a touchdown, recording four plays of 20-plus yards in the win. In the win over UCLA, he caught six passes for a team-high 74 yards and followed with seven catches for 79 yards at Arizona State. He added four more catches including one for 27 yards in the win at Oregon State before catching a 71-yard touchdown against Arizona and three touchdowns in the win over Calfiornia. The Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif. native enters Saturday second in WSU history with 218 career receptions (18th in Pac-12 history) and sixth in school history with 2,701 career receiving yards. Cracraft enters the week second on the team with 701 receiving yards, third in catches with 53 and owns the team-lead with 10 catches of 20+ yards.

FLORIDA WIDEOUTS SETTLE INFormer high school teammates at William T. Dwyer High School in Belle Glade, Fla., sophomore Tavares Martin Jr. and freshman Isaiah Johnson-Mack have settled into the Cougar offense. Mar-tin Jr. broke out against Boise State with 12 catches for 158 yards including an acrobatic 50-yard tumbling touchdown. He made the most of his two catches at No. 15 Stanford, scoring touchdowns on both, caught a 9-yard touchdown just before halftime to give WSU a lead in the win at Arizona State, added six catches for 82 yards and a 33-yard touchdown at Oregon State and caught two more touchdowns against Arizona. Johnson-Mack has also contributed, recording 30 receptions for 217 yards including a seven-catch game at Boise State and his first career touchdown in the win over Arizona. Martin Jr. is second on the team with 54 receptions for 587 yards and his seven touchdowns are second on the team.

DEFENSE CONTINUES TO MAKE STRIDES UNDER GRINCHThe Cougar defense has improved each week under defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. So far this season, WSU has forced 20 turnovers and held opponents to a Pac-12-best 116.9 rushing yards per game, and 24.3 ppg including 21.5 ppg after removing four non-offensive touchdowns. Last season, the defensive unit allowed 27.7 ppg and 416.6 ypg while forcing 24 turnovers. By removing special teams touchdowns allowed in 2015, WSU allowed 23.3 ppg, a vast improvement after allowing 38.6 ppg in 2014. The Cougars finished last season with 24 turnovers forced, tripled the amount of turnovers from 2014 (8).

COUGAR DEFENSE DIALS IT UPThe Washington State defense has turned things up in Pac-12 play, forcing 14 turnovers in the seven games including four in the win over UCLA and three against Arizona. WSU enters the week second in the Pac-12 and seventh in the country in turnover margin (+10), No. 21 in the country with 20 forced turnovers and tops in the league in rushing defense (116.9), good for No. 19 nationally. In the week three win over Idaho, WSU did not allow a touchdown in the 56-6 victory, surrendering just 257 yards of total offense, the fewest allowed since 2013 against the Vandals (253). Against Oregon, the Cougars tallied eight tackles-for-loss before adding three sacks at No. 15 Stanford while holding the Cardinal to just 61 yards rushing including Christian McCaffrey to 35 yards. Against UCLA, the Cougars shutout the Bruins in the first half and held them to just 43 rushing yards in the game. In the win at Arizona State, WSU held the Sun Devils to 280 yards of total offense and 12 first downs. In the comeback in at Oregon State, the Cougars held OSU just 104 yards of total offense in the second half including 11 yards rushing. WSU held Arizona to just seven points and 286 yards of total offense and last week, held California to its lowest point total of the season (21).

GET THE BALL BACKDefensive coordinator Alex Grinch has emphasized the need to force turnovers and get the ball back to the Air Raid offense. The Cougars did that in 2015, forcing 24 turnovers, fourth in the Pac-12 and three times as many as the 2014 total of eight. The trend has continued this season, WSU has forced 20 turnovers in 2016, picking off three passes at Boise State, recovered two fumbles against Idaho, had an interception, a fumble recovery and a safety in the win over Oregon and added three more turnovers in the win at Stanford. WSU forced four in the win over UCLA, recovered a fumble at Arizona State and added three more against Arizona (2 INT, fumble). WSU owns eight fumble recoveries and is No. 21 in the country with 12 interceptions. Under Grinch, the Cougars are 13-3 when forcing multiple turnovers in a game.

LINEBACKERS LEAD THE WAYThe Cougar linebackers filled up the stat sheet last season with All-Pac-12 honorable mention Peyton Pelluer tying for fifth in the Pac-12 with 7.8 tackles-per game (101 total) along with 11 tackles-for-loss. The redshirt-junior started the 2016 season with a game-high 10 tackles against EWU including one for loss, tied for the team lead in the win over Idaho with seven and added at tackle-for-loss against Oregon. Making his first career start as a linebacker, Isaac Dotson made five tackles against EWU and in his first career start, WIL linebacker Frankie Luvu made a career-high seven tackles including 1.5 for loss against Idaho. Dotson has came up with some big plays in the recent weeks, recorded his first career interception in the win over Oregon before recovering a fumble and making a diving interception in the win at No. 15 Stanford. He made a team-high eight tackles at Arizona State and made a game-high seven tackles, 2.5 for loss and forced a fumble against Arizona. Pelluer, coming off a season-high 12 tackles against California, paces the Cougars with 64 tackles while Dotson ranks third with 52 stops.

DEFENSE CONTINUES TO PUT THE PRESSURE ONLast season, Washington State racked up 33 sacks and was eighth in the country with 7.8 tackles-for-loss per game (102 Total), the second-best average in the Pac-12 and the second-highest total in WSU history. All-Pac-12 honorable mention defensive lineman and Freshman All-American Hercules Mata’afa shared the team-lead with seven sacks, tied for fourth-most in the conference. Against Wyoming, WSU recorded 14 TFL’s, tied for third-most in school history and later posted 11 TFL’s at Cal, and eight more in the games against Arizona State, Colorado and Washington. WSU finished the season with five players owning 10+ tackles-for-loss, the most players by any Pac-12 team and tied for the most in school history (2002). This season, Mata’afa is tied for fifth in the conference with 11 tackles-for-loss and recently tallied a career-high seven tackles including one for loss against UCLA. Rush LB Dylan Hanser is tied for third in the Pac-12 with three forced fumbles and defensive end Nnamdi Oguayo recorded three sacks in the win over Arizona.

YOUNG SECONDARYThe Cougar secondary went through a youth movement last season and has settled in as a strength this season. Sophomore Darrien Molton, named the top freshman cornerback in the country by Pro Football Focus last season, is second on the team with 58 tackles and has broken up four passes. Senior Shalom Luani, an All-Pac-12 honorable mention safety last season, has picked up where he left off, owning 45 tackles including 8.5 tackles-for-loss and a team-best four interceptions. Junior cornerback Marcellus Pippins, owner of three INT last season, has two interceptions and a team-best five pass breakups while redshirt-junior safety Charleston White also owns two picks. Junior college transfer safety Robert Taylor has stepped in with Luani playing at nickel, and recorded 45 tackles and recovered a team-best three fumbles. True freshman Jalen Thompson enrolled early and took over at strong safety and owns 31 tackles, including a game-high seven at Stanford.

SPECIAL TEAMS SETTLES INWSU special teams has produced this season, owning two Pac-12 Special Teams Players of the Week, the 12-ranked punt return unit in the country (12.6 per return) and the fourth-best kickoff coverage team in the Pac-12. At Arizona State, Robert Taylor returned a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown, WSU’s first since 2003, and last week, Kaleb Fossum returned a punt 75 yards for a touchdown, WSU’s first since 2005, both players earned Pac-12 weekly awards. It is the first time WSU has had two conference special teams player of the week awards in the same season since 2006. Kicker Erik Powell has rebounded from a rough start to the season by making his last five at-tempts and currently sits tied for eighth in WSU history with 27 career makes with Tony Truant. In Pac-12 play, the Cougars lead the league in kick return average (24.9) and punt return (16.1).

IN THE WIN OVER IDAHOCougar special teams provided a couple highlights in the win over Idaho week three, scoring a pair of touchdowns, blocking a field goal and recovered a fumble, scoring touchdowns on both plays. Midway through the second quarter, Robert Barber blocked a 32-yard field goal attempt and Mar-cellus Pippins picked up the loose ball and raced 72 yards for the touchdown, giving WSU its first touchdown return of a blocked field goal in school history (dating back through the 1983 season). It was the first touchdown scored on special teams since Michael Bumpus returned a punt 87 yards for touchdown at Nevada in 2005. Midway through the fourth quarter, the Cougar kickoff team forced a fumble that Gerard Wicks scooped up and returned 11 yards for a touchdown. It was the first time the Cougars scored two special teams touchdowns in the same game since returning two punts for touchdowns against Idaho in 1973. WSU also rushed for 228 yards, the most since 2011.

IN THE WIN OVER OREGONWashington State’s win over Oregon was the first time beating Oregon two straight seasons since 2002-03 and first win over the Ducks in Pullman since 2006. WSU’s 280 rushing yards were the most since rushing for 344 against Idaho in 2006 and most against a conference foe since going for 330 against UCLA in 2005. The Cougars’ six rushing touchdowns were the most since rushing for six against Southwest Louisiana in 1997 and most against a conference opponents since Oregon in 1984. It was also the first time WSU rushed for 200+ yards in back-to-back games since 2005.

SORENSON NAMED TO 2016 RIMINGTON TROPHY WATCH LISTCenter Riley Sorenson was named to the 2016 Rimington Trophy Watch List. Sorenson, a senior from Rancho Santa Margarita, Calif., has started 21 games over the past two seasons and has been one of the anchors for a Cougar offensive line that helped WSU lead the nation in passing each of the last two years. Additionally, he was named a 2015 All-Pac-12 honor-able mention selection. Sorenson also received the 2016 Pac-12 Sports-manship Award for the strength of character and dedication to his team that he displayed throughout the 2015 season even while he and his family faced extreme personal challenges. The Rimington Trophy is presented annually to the Most Outstanding Center in NCAA Division I-A College Football.

SORENSON NAMED CAPITAL ONE ORANGE BOWL-FWAA COURAGE AWARD NOMINEERiley Sorenson is a nominee for the 2016 Capital One Orange Bowl-FWAA Courage Award. Over the past nine months alone, Sorenson, a senior cen-ter, lost his father and mother to a heart attack and cancer, respectively. On top of that, Sorenson was diagnosed with testicular cancer just days after his mother’s funeral in May. He had surgery to remove a testicle and, after receiving five opinions, was eventually told that chemotherapy would not be needed. Sorenson stayed at home in Southern California this sum-mer to take care of his younger brother and sister. He returned to Pullman for the start of fall camp and has not missed a practice or game, starting all three contests for the Cougars. “I was just starting to come to terms with my dad being gone and then my mom’s thing happened,” Sorenson told the (Spokane) Spokesman-Review in August. “It was pretty bad. But even when it comes to something like that, everyone’s going to understand if you get hung up or need to take some time off. I feel like I’m pretty comfort-able with it mentally. I’ve still got some stuff I need to think through, but I’m good to play, I’m good to be around people.” Sorenson currently lives with his brother in Pullman, and his sister is now a freshman at Boise State. The Courage Award was first presented by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) in 2002. A select group of writers from the FWAA vote on the winner each year. The requirements for nomination include display-ing courage on or off the field, including overcoming an injury or physical handicap, preventing a disaster or living through hardship. The winner of the award will be included in festivities during Capital One Orange Bowl week and receive his trophy at an on-field presentation.

LAST YEARNov. 21, 2015

No. 23 WASHINGTON STATE def. Colorado, 27-3PULLMAN, Wash. – Gabe Marks and Dom Williams both had touchdown receptions and No. 24 Washing-ton State beat Colorado 27-3 on Saturday night in a game the Cougars saw quarterback Luke Falk carted off the field with an apparent head injury. Falk was tak-en off the field on a backboard with 8:16 left in the third quarter after being sacked by Samson Kafovalu. Falk, whose head slammed against the turf on a below-freezing night on the Palouse, appeared to be knocked out and was tended to on the field for 7 minutes. His facemask was removed and he was immobilized as he was carted away. Falk gave two thumbs up and waved his hands as he left the field. Falk’s injury came a week after he was checked for a concussion against UCLA and passed protocol allowing him to return in the second half. Against Colorado, he finished 27 of 35 for 199 yards and one touchdown. The Cougars (8-3, 6-2 Pac-12) have a short turnaround before facing rival Washington in the Apple Cup on Friday. Washington State won for the sixth time in seven games, reached the eight-win mark for the first time since 2003 and preserved hopes for just the sixth 10-win season in school history if the Cougars can beat Washington on Friday and win their bowl game. That chance to get to 10 wins will largely depend on Falk’s health. The sophomore entered the week leading the Pac-12 in passing and was second in the country. His 11-yard TD pass to Williams in the second quarter gave him 36 TD passes for the season, six behind Marcus Mariota’s Pac-12 record of 42 last season. Falk was replaced by Peyton Bender, who was 13 of 21 for 133 yards includ-ing a 16-yard TD toss to Marks with 14:25 remaining for a 24-3 Washington State lead. It was Marks’ 14th touchdown catch of the season, setting a new single-season school record. Marks also went over the 1,000 yards receiving for the season, becoming the 11th dif-ferent wide receiver in Washington State history to reach that mark. Gerard Wicks rushed for 123 yards, becoming Washington State’s first 100-yard rusher since James Montgomery in 2010 against Montana State. Keith Harrington added a 1-yard TD run for the Cougars. Colorado quarterback Cade Aspay was 26 of 40 for 238 yards in his first college start replacing Sefo Liufau, who is out for the season due to a foot injury. Aspay was intercepted twice and the Buffaloes (4-8, 1-7) got just three points out of six drives into Wash-ington State territory, including a poor snap on fourth-and-goal at the 2 with 7:42 left that Aspay could only dive on. Diego Gonzalez missed field goals of 47 and 33 yards in the first half and Aspay was picked off by Tay-lor Taliulu on fourth-and-19 early in the fourth quarter. Gonzalez hit from 24 yards late in the third quarter, but the three points were the fewest allowed by Washing-ton State to a Pac-10/12 opponent since beating Or-egon State 24-3 on Oct. 12, 1996. Nelson Spruce had 10 catches for 120 yards, his seventh career game with double-digit receptions. Before his injury, Falk was content to throw underneath as the Cougars couldn’t push the ball downfield. Aside from Williams’ 29-yard reception on fourth down that set up the Cougars first score, Falk’s longest throw in the first half was a 15-yard strike to Marks. Falk completed 21 of 23 passes in the first half, but averaged just 6.8 yards per attempt.

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. – Gage Gubrud threw for 474 yards and five touchdowns as FCS Eastern Washington upset Wash-ington State 45-42 in the season opener for both teams. Washington State, which lost to Portland State of the Foot-ball Championship Subdivision in its opening game last year, could not stop the Eastern Washington offense, which produced 610 yards. Eastern Washington, which came in as three-touchdown underdogs, also upset Oregon State of the Pac-12 three years ago. Gubrud, making his first start, completed 34 of 40 passes and was intercepted once. He also ran for a touchdown to ice the game. Cooper Kupp, last year’s FCS offensive player of the year, caught 12 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. His two touchdown receptions in the third quarter put EWU ahead for good. In the first half, the teams combined to score touchdowns on seven consecutive possessions. The streak started when Luke Falk threw a 53-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks and the Cougars led 7-0 midway through the first quarter. Eastern Washington replied with Gubrud’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Antoine Custer Jr., to tie the game at 7-7. Washington State came right back with a 58-yard drive, capped by Falk’s 27-yard scoring pass to Kyle Sweet for a 14-7 lead. Eastern Washington replied with another touchdown, this time on a 6-yard pass from Gubrud to Sam McPherson. On this 75-yard drive, Kupp caught one pass for 11 yards, rushed the ball once for 14 yards and threw a 22-yard pass. Washington State came right back, scoring on a 2-yard pass from Falk to Marks. Eastern Washington tied the game at 21-21 when, on the first play of its subsequent possession, Kupp caught a 75-yard touchdown pass from Gubrud. Jamal Morrow’s 5-yard touchdown run put the Cougars ahead 28-21, and ended the scoring streak as EWU punted on its next possession. But Eastern Washington’s Mitch Fettig intercepted a Falk pass, and Jordan Dascalo kicked a 48-yard field goal as time expired to cut Washington State’s lead to 28-24 at halftime. Kupp caught a 26-yard touchdown pass from Gubrud on the opening drive of the second half to put the Eagles ahead 31-28. That gave him 58 career touchdown passes, tying the FCS record set by David Ball of New Hampshire. He broke the record on EWU’s next drive, with a one-handed catch of Gubrud’s 7-yard pass in the end zone, giving the Eagles a 38-28 lead. Marcellus Pippins intercepted Gubrud in the end zone to end another EWU scoring threat. Erik Powell missed a 38-yard field goal attempt for Washington State midway through the fourth. Gerard Wicks caught a 9-yard touchdown pass from Falk with 4:42 left in the game for Washington State’s first points of the second half, cutting EWU’s lead to 38-35. But Eastern Washington marched down the field, with Gubrud scoring on a 30-yard bootleg with 1:39 left for a 45-35 lead. Wicks scored on a 3-yard touchdown run for Washington State with 14 seconds left. Their on-side kick attempt was recovered by the Eagles.

GAME RECAPS

BOISE, Idaho – Jeremy McNichols rushed for 116 yards and two touchdowns, Tyler Horton returned his first career interception 85 yards for a touchdown and Boise State held on in the fourth quarter for a 31-28 win over Washington State. Brett Rypien threw for 299 yards, including a 47-yard touchdown to Thomas Sperbeck, but was intercepted twice in the fourth quarter, giving Washington State chances until the final play when Luke Falk’s desperation heave was batted down. Boise State (2-0) won its 34th straight regular season non-conference home game, knocking off the last out of conference team to win on “The Blue.” Falk was 55-of-71 passing for 480 yards and four touchdowns, but it took three quarters before he could beat the Broncos throwing downfield, hitting Tavares Martin Jr. on a 50-yard TD late in the third quarter that pulled the Cougars within 24-14. Rypien quickly answered, completing three straight passes for 68 yards before McNichols’ second touchdown run pushed the Broncos lead 31-14 on the first play of the fourth quarter. That proved to be enough — barely. Falk rallied in the fourth quarter, throwing touchdown passes of 14 yards — on fourth down — to Jamal Morrow and hitting Gabe Marks on a 33-yard TD with 4:17 left right after Rypien was intercepted to pull within 31-28. Washington State got the ball back with a minute remaining after poor clock management by the Broncos, but the Cougars had their own problems with the clock and settled for Falk’s final throw that fell short. Leach ripped into his team’s toughness after the loss, saying the Cougars outplayed Boise State in every other category. Washington State (0-2) was trying to match what it did in 2001 when the Cougars won 41-20 in Boise and rebound from being stunned by FCS power Eastern Washington in last week’s opener. But the Cougars got off to an awful start with Falk getting intercepted on their opening drive deep in Boise State territory and watching Horton manage to stay inbound and sprint 85 yards to give the Broncos the early lead. It was the first of six drives by the Cougars that reached Boise State territory and failed to end in points. The Cougars had a field goal attempt blocked, punted twice and turned the ball over on downs twice inside the Broncos half of the field, the last coming when Morrow was stuffed on fourth-and-1 at the 46 with 5:12 remaining.

PULLMAN, Wash. – The mind of Marcellus Pippins of Washington State was racing as he saw the loose football on the turf at Martin Stadium. He bent down and scooped the ball up, and one thought ran through his brain. He gave no thought to diving on the football, running 72 yards for the score that helped ignite Washington State’s 56-6 win over Idaho on Saturday. Luke Falk threw for 226 yards and three touchdowns as Washington State posted a positive end to a tumultuous week. James Williams rushed for 126 yards and a touchdown for Washington State (1-2), which won on a wet, windy day when the Air Raid offense was not working very well. Idaho (1-2) struggled for the second straight week against a Pac-12 team, after losing at No. 8 Washington. The Vandals have not scored a touchdown against Washington State the past two times the teams have played. Austin Rehkow kicked a 42-yard field goal as Idaho took a 3-0 lead on its first possession. Williams ran over from the 2 for a 7-3 lead for the Cougars. The touchdown was set up by a 50-yard completion from Falk to Kyle Sweet. Nose tackle Robert Barber blocked a 32-yard field-goal attempt by Rehkow and Pippins scooped up the ball and ran 72 yards for a touchdown as Washington State took a 14-3 lead midway through the second quarter. Idaho quarterback Matt Linehan fumbled on a bootleg, and Robert Taylor recov-ered for Washington State on Idaho’s 36. Falk threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks as Washington State built a 21-3 lead late in the second quarter. Idaho drove all the way to the WSU 1 midway through the third quarter, but had to settle for Rehkow’s 18-yard field goal that cut the Cougars’ lead to 21-6. Washington State replied with a 90-yard drive that ended on Wicks’ 2-yard scoring run for a 28-6 lead. Falk threw a 10-yard touchdown pass to Robert Lewis early in the fourth for a 35-6 lead, and the Cougars added three more touchdowns in the fourth. Leach said his players seemed to respond well to a week of hard practices and harsh criticism. Idaho coach Paul Petrino did not appear in the postgame interview room. Leach’s Air Raid pass attack got a bit of a rest, as the Cougars piled up 228 rushing yards and three rushing touchdowns.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State coach Mike Leach is famous for his Air Raid passing offenses. Turns out the Cougars have a ground game too. Washington State rushed for 280 yards and six touchdowns to beat Oregon 51-33 on Saturday, sending the Ducks to their third consecutive loss. Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and James Williams each ran for two touchdowns for Washington State (2-2, 1-0 Pac-12), which was coming off a bye week. Washington State defeated Oregon in double overtime last year, a game that sparked the Cougars’ run to a 9-4 record. Leach said the passing of Luke Falk, who threw for 371 yards, helped set up the ground attack. Oregon (2-3, 0-2) has lost three straight games and held a team meeting earlier in the week to seek a turnaround. Royce Freeman, who missed the last game with a leg injury, ran for 138 yards and three touchdowns for Oregon. Washington State piled up 651 yards of total offense, to 416 total yards for Oregon. Falk completed 36 of 48 passes with one touchdown. Oregon’s Dakota Prukop completed 14 of 22 passes for 132 yards. Washington State came in averaging 121 rushing yards per game. Washington State opened the scoring with Falk hitting Gabe Marks on a 7-yard touchdown pass. Oregon replied with an 11-yard touchdown run by Freeman to tie the score at 7-7. Washington State marched 75 yards on its next drive, with Wicks running four yards for the touchdown and a 14-7 lead. Freeman bulled over from the 1 to tie the score at 14-14 midway through the second quarter. Washington State went 80 yards in seven plays on its next series, including a 40-yard bomb from Falk to Kyle Sweet. Morrow ran the final 10 yards for a touchdown and a 21-14 lead. Oregon went three-and-out and Washington State got the ball near midfield. Wicks scored again, this time on a 2-yard run, for a 28-14 lead at halftime. Washington State opened the second half by marching to the Oregon 5, but Erik Powell’s 22-yard field goal attempt was blocked. He has missed all four of his field goal attempts this season. Oregon immediately gave the ball back, when Dwayne Stanford fumbled after a reception and WSU’s Robert Taylor recovered. He returned the ball to the Oregon 26. But Washington State turned the ball over on downs when Falk’s pass to Sweet in the end zone fell incomplete. Prukop was then sacked in the end zone by Hercules Mata’afa for a safety and WSU led 30-14. After a WSU punt, Freeman ran 75 yards for his third touchdown to cut Oregon’s deficit to 30-20 late in the third. Oregon’s conversion pass failed. The Cougars replied with a 75-yard drive that ended with Morrow’s 14-yard touchdown run for a 37-20 lead. Williams added a 38-yard touchdown burst midway through the fourth that gave Washington State a 44-20 lead. Charles Nelson returned the ensuing kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown to cut WSU’s lead to 44-26. Wil-liams added a 3-yard touchdown run.

STANFORD, Calif. – Luke Falk threw for 357 yards and four touchdowns to lead Washington State to a second straight win over one of the Pac-12’s recent powers, 42-16 against No. 15 Stanford. Falk connected with Tavares Martin Jr. twice in the first half and added second-half TD passes to Gabe Marks and River Cracraft to help the Cougars (3-2, 1-1) follow up last week’s 51-33 win over Oregon by ending an eight-game losing streak to Stanford (3-2, 2-2). The Ducks and Cardinal have combined to win the past seven conference titles. ‘’Stanford has been the class of the conference for a while now,’’ Marks said. ‘’Since I’ve been here, they’ve been a powerhouse. For us, these past two weeks have really been important to finally see the work pay off and realize our potential and becoming what we thought we would be.’’ That streak is in serious jeopardy this year as the Cardinal got blown out for the second straight game, los-ing in back-to-back weeks for the first time in six seasons under coach David Shaw. Stanford lost 44-6 at Washington last week. The Ducks are 0-3 in conference play. Making matters worse for the Cardinal was the fact that last year’s Heisman runner-up Christian McCaffrey went to the locker room in the second half with an injury and didn’t return to the game. McCaffrey came back to the sideline and had his helmet on, but didn’t re-enter the game. ‘’There was no reason to put him in late in the game,’’ Shaw said. ‘’We just left him out. We’ll see how he is during the course of the week.’’ After opening the season with losses to Eastern Washington and Boise State, the Cougars have stepped up their play in the conference season. They hadn’t beaten a team ranked in the top 15 since knocking off No. 5 Texas in the 2003 Holiday Bowl. Falk stepped up in key spots, connecting on a 29-yard score to Martin on fourth-and-7 to make it 14-3 in the second quarter. After letting Stanford back into the game with an interception that Frank Buncom returned for a TD, Falk hit Marks for a score on third-and-goal from the 17 to make it 28-10. The Cougars did the rest from the trenches as they have become a more complete team after the slow start. ‘’We had to realize there’s no good finesse teams in football.’’ Marks said. ‘’Even the teams you guys like to call finesse teams, they really aren’t. ... We had to come back to basics and just grind it out.’’ Stanford: The Cardinal offense struggled to do anything as the offen-sive line was dominated in the trenches and Ryan Burns missed on chances for a few big plays. McCaffrey was held to 35 yards on eight carries and one catch for 5 yards. Stanford allowed four sacks after giving up eight last week and the only big play came on a 44-yard pass to Michael Rector on the final play of the first half. Shaw said the Cardinal missed four potential TD passes and the offense didn’t reach the end zone until the final play. Even the usually reliable Conrad Ukropina missed two field goals. ‘’So we’ve got to hit those opportunities.’’ Shaw said. ‘’You know, it’s not just one of those. We’ve got to hit multiple. If those things are there, we’ve got to hit them.’’

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Gerard Wicks rushed for a pair of 1-yard touchdowns, Jamal Morrow added another TD run, and Washington State won its fourth straight, 27-21 over UCLA. Wicks’ first touchdown late in the second quarter gave the Cougars (4-2, 3-0 Pac-12) a 10-0 lead and his second 1-yard plunge pushed the lead to 17-7 midway through the third quarter. Morrow added a 3-yard TD run late in the third as the Cougars beat UCLA in consecutive years for the first time since 2006 and 2007. UCLA (3-4, 1-3) played without starting quarterback Josh Rosen a week after he suffered shoulder and leg injuries against Arizona State. The shoulder was the problem on Saturday, as Rosen only attempted a couple of throws during pregame warmups before determining he couldn’t go. Backup Mike Fafaul, making his first college start, was 24-of-40 passing for 258 yards. Fafaul threw two touchdown passes to Darren Andrews and added a 5-yard TD throw to Jordan Lasley. Fafaul hit Andrews on a 22-yard TD in the third quarter and his 4-yard TD pass to Andrews with 3:17 left pulled the Bruins with 27-21. UCLA got the ball back with 2:43 remaining after holding Washington State to a three-and-out. But on the first play Lasley was hit from behind by Dylan Hanser and fumbled. Washington State’s Robert Taylor fell on the loose ball. The Cougars punted back to UCLA with under a minute remaining but Charleston White intercepted Fafaul to clinch the win. Washington State quarterback Luke Falk failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time in his career. Falk finished 28 of 48 for 261 yards on a cold, rainy night on the Palouse. Falk was intercepted in the end zone in the first half and fumbled an attempted pass in the third quarter that led to UCLA’s first touchdown. But Falk led three long touchdown drives, including an 18-play, 91-yard drive in the second quarter that was capped by Wicks’ first touchdown. It was a forgettable night for the Bruins that included a (minus) 1-yard punt from Austin Kent in the first quarter that led to a few choice words from coach Jim Mora. Aside from a promising debut by Fafaul, UCLA was bullied on the line of scrimmage and saw its defense give up more than 24 points in regulation for the first time this season. Washington State became the final FBS team in the country to make a field goal when Powell hit a 36-yard attempt midway through the first quarter to take a 3-0 lead. Powell had missed his first attempts of the season - one in each game. Powell made another 36-yarder in the fourth quarter. UCLA: The Bruins continued to have no running game on a night where the weather and circumstances with their quarterback called for having offensive balance. The Bruins rushed for 43 yards on 25 carries, the fourth time in five games UCLA failed to crack 100 yards rushing as a team. Washington State: The Cougars continue to get big production from their trio of running backs. The Cougars rushed for 95 yards, but the trio of Wicks, Morrow and James Williams added eight catches for 65 yards.

TEMPE, ARIZ. – Luke Falk threw for 398 yards and three touchdowns, Robert Taylor scored on a 100-yard kickoff return and Washington State held off Arizona State 37-32. Washington State (5-2, 4-0 Pac-12) labored offensively early as Arizona State forced the Cougars to throw underneath instead of deep. Falk adjusted nicely, helping the Cougars score 28 straight points to remain tied with No. 5 Washington atop the Pac-12 North Division. Washington State coach Mike Leach was fined $10,000 by the Pac-12 this week for accusing the Sun Devils of stealing signs. Arizona State coach Todd Graham retorted during the week and again during the postgame handshake, uttering a pair of exple-tives that sent Leach walking away without saying a word. ‘’I respectfully decline on grounds that I might be publicly reprimanded and fined, so any questions about them I really don’t plan to answer,’’ Leach said after the game. Arizona State (5-3, 2-3) was down to its fourth-string quarterback after Manny Wilkins was injured on the opening drive and had four other starters out. The Sun Devils still managed to lead early and clawed most of their way back from a 16-point deficit in the fourth quarter. Tim White had a 70-yard touchdown on a punt return and Zane Gonzalez hit a 29-yard field goal to pull Arizona State within 37-32. But Falk and the Cougars ground down the game’s final 4:36 for their fifth straight victory, one that was punctuated by the tense postgame handshake. ‘’That’s between me and him,’’ Graham said of the exchange with Leach. Arizona State came into the game with the FBS’ worst pass defense and was missing starting safety Armand Perry with a turf toe injury. Falk had his way against the Sun Devils after a slow start, completing passes to 11 different receivers and 42 of 53 overall. Washington State: The Cougars have come a long way since their 0-2 start to the season, keeping themselves on course for a season-ending showdown against the rival Huskies that could decide the Pac-12 North. Arizona State: The Sun Devils’ struggles against the pass con-tinue and their offense could be in more trouble if Wilkins continues to miss time. Arizona State has lost three of four.

GAME RECAPS

CORVALLIS, Ore. – For a half, it looked like Washington State’s Air Raid offense had been grounded. But Luke Falk threw for five touchdowns and 415 yards as the Cougars roared back to beat Oregon State 35-31 on Saturday night. Gabe Marks caught two touchdown passes, and Jamal Morrow, Tavares Martin Jr. and Robert Lewis each had a TD for the Cougars (6-2, 5-0 Pac-12), who won their sixth game in a row. Marks finished with eight catches for 110 yards. The Cougars fell behind 24-6 at halftime, but Falk responded with three touchdown passes in the third quarter to put the Cougars up 28-24. In the fourth, Washington State mishandled a punt deep in its own territory, allowing Oregon State to score and regain the lead. On the next possession, Falk led the Cougars on an 80-yard, seven-play drive capped by Lewis’ 1-yard touchdown catch. ‘’I’m just really proud of these guys. The first half didn’t go our way, and we didn’t quit, we came out swinging and just showed the type of team we’ve got,’’ Falk said. Washington State coach Mike Leach said Oregon State wanted to win more in the first half and played harder. But the Cougars responded. ‘’Most teams in the country wouldn’t have found a way to win a game like this on the road,’’ Leach said. Oregon State’s Ryan Nall had two rushing touchdowns and another receiving. His 131 yards rushing included an 89-yard touchdown up the middle - the third longest run in school history. He added 71 yards receiving. Marcus McMaryion had 303 yards passing with two touchdowns, including one to Seth Collins on a trick play that went for 46 yards, for Oregon State (2-6, 1-4), which lost its third in a row. ‘’It’s a crying shame,’’ said Oregon State coach Gary Andersen. ‘’You play them close and you get where you need to be and you have an opportunity to win a game in the Pac-12 and you don’t get it done. That’s a tough one.’’ Washington State: Falk has been a nightmare for the Beavers. He racked up nearly 900 yards and 11 touchdowns in his previous two games against Oregon State, both of them wins. . Marks set a school re-cord for touchdown receptions with 33. . The Cougars had a second quarter PAT blocked. Oregon State: Nall returned to the lineup after missing the Washington game last week with an injured foot and only rushing once, albeit for 32 yards, against Utah on Oct. 15. . Oregon State had 13 penalties for 110 yards. . The Beavers wore ‘’battleship gray’’ helmets for the 75th anniversary of Oregon State’s 1942 Rose Bowl team, which beat Duke 20-16 in Durham, North Carolina. The game, moved because of World War II, remains the only Rose Bowl played outside Pasadena, Califor-nia. Falk said a jump ball into triple coverage he threw to Marks in the third quarter - which resulted in a 37-yard touch-down - was the result of a play that broke down. ‘’Honestly, I just saw Gabe and threw it up,’’ he said. Falk added that Marks’ competitiveness makes him a special player. ‘’He brings it every day in practice and then he goes out there in the games and does the same thing. He always wants the ball, you always know where he’s going to be,’’ Falk said.

PULLMAN, Wash. – Washington State talked about starting fast against Arizona. Mission accomplished. The No. 25 Cougars jumped to a 24-0 lead in the first quarter and crushed Arizona 69-7 on Saturday for their seventh consecutive victory. ‘’Everything we touched worked,’’ coach Mike Leach said. Luke Falk threw for 311 yards and four touchdowns for Washington State (7-2, 6-0 Pac-12, No. 25 CFP), which had its highest points total since 1997 and the most ever against a Pac-12 opponent. The Cougars hadn’t won seven straight games since 2002. They and No. 4 Washington re-main the only teams with undefeated Pac-12 records. ‘’We played together the whole game,’’ Leach said. ‘’We talked all week of playing a complete game. I’m glad we didn’t let up.’’ Washington State scored on its first six possessions and held a 38-7 lead at halftime. ‘’It feels amazing,’’ said running back James Williams, who rushed for 72 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. Leach noted he has been on both sides of such blowouts. ‘’We are definitely not that good and they are definitely not that bad,’’ Leach said. ‘’The defense did a good job of finding a way to keep them out of the end zone.’’ Arizona (2-7, 0-6), which has lost six games in a row, struggled on offense behind quarterbacks Brandon Dawkins, Anu Solomon and Khalil Tate. They combined to complete 11 of 23 passes for 128 yards, with one touchdown and two interceptions. ‘’I’m embarrassed and we should be embarrassed and it starts with me,’’ Arizona coach Rich Rodriguez said. ‘’That’s a good team. They played well and we didn’t. `We’re better than this, even with all the adversity.’’ Falk, who was relieved late in the third quarter by Tyler Hilinski, completed 32 of 35 passes. He was not intercepted or sacked. Hilinski completed 15 of 17 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns. Combined, the two quar-terbacks threw six touchdown passes against only five incomplete passes. ‘’That’s pretty good,’’ Leach said. ‘’It was a real good, complete win,’’ Falk, whose 91 percent completion rate was a team record, said. ‘’Our mentality was right all week.’’ Washington State piled up 614 yards of offense while limiting Arizona to 286 yards. Samajie Grant rushed for 77 yards for the Wildcats. Washington State’s Gerard Wicks ran for two touchdowns, and Tavares Martin Jr. caught two touchdown passes. Rodriguez said he believes his team can turn things around. ‘’We’ll climb out of this,’’ he said. ‘’It’s just right now it’s not fun.’’ Washington State opened the scoring with Erik Powell’s 23-yard field goal on its first possession. On the ensuing series, Shalom Luani intercepted Brandon Dawkins’ pass deep in Arizona territory and returned it to the 8. Williams caught a touchdown pass from Falk on the first play for a 10-0 lead. Wicks scored on a 1-yard touchdown run on Washington State’s next possession. With Solomon now playing quarterback, Arizona turned the ball over on downs at midfield. Falk hit Gabe Marks for a 2-yard touchdown pass and a 24-0 lead, still in the first quarter. Arizona drove deep into Washington State territory, but Solomon fumbled and the ball was recovered on the 7 by WSU’s Peyton Pelluer. Jamal Morrow caught a 53-yard pass from Falk to place the ball on Arizona’s 10, and Tavares Martin Jr. caught a 7-yard touchdown pass for a 31-0 lead. Wicks scored on a 1-yard run for a 38-0 lead. Solomon fired a 47-yard touchdown pass to Cam Denson as Arizona got on the scoreboard with 1:55 left in the first half. Arizona: The Wildcats rotated their quarterbacks all game, but could not generate much offense. The defense proved porous to WSU’s Air Raid. Washington State: Played without star nose tackle Robert Barber, who has been suspended from school for his role in a fight at a party. But Washington State had a big day on defense anyway, hold-ing Arizona to 158 rushing yards, 50 of them on one play. SCORE BY QUARTERS 1 2 3 4 TOTALArizona 0 7 0 0 7Washington State 24 14 14 17 69

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Luke Falk threw five touchdown passes, including three to River Cracraft, and No. 23 Wash-ington State beat California 56-21 on Saturday night for its eighth consecutive victory. The surging Cougars (8-2, 7-0 Pac-12, No. 23 CFP) have their longest winning streak since 1930 and are on a surprising quest for a Pac-12 championship. Davis Webb threw for 425 yards and three touchdowns for Cal (4-6, 2-5), which has lost three straight games and is struggling to keep its bowl hopes alive. Cracraft caught nine passes for 87 yards before leaving midway through the third quarter with a leg injury. Falk completed 36 of 50 passes for 373 yards with one interception. The former walk-on broke a team record with his 23rd game of at least 300 passing yards. The Cougars produced 654 yards of total offense in the game. California’s high-flying offense piled up 525 yards but struggled to get into the end zone. Demetris Robertson had a pair of touchdown receptions for the Golden Bears. California had won 10 of the past 11 games between the teams and had not lost in Pullman since 2002. Washington State receiver Gabe Marks caught seven passes to give him 295 career receptions, breaking the Pac-12 record of 294 held by Colorado’s Nelson Spruce. California: The Golden Bears are struggling to qualify for a bowl game, having lost four of their past five games. They are giving up more than 44 points per game, worst in the Pac-12. Washington State: The Cougars control their own destiny and can clinch the Pac-12 North by winning their final two regular-season games - against No. 16 Colorado and No. 4 Washington.

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

In 2015 the Cougars ended the season with a 9-4 record, 6-3 in the Pac-12 Conference, capped by a 20-14 Sun Bowl victory over Miami. After starting the season 2-2, the Cougars went 7-2 over the final nine games, posting last-minute victories at Oregon and No. 18 UCLA, and rallying from a fourth-quarter deficit in a 38-24 victory against Arizona State. For the second-straight season WSU led the nation in passing at 389.5 ypg, while also finishing second in the nation in red zone offense, converting 94.5 percent of their opportunities inside the 20-yard line. WSU concluded the regular season by having 11 student-athletes named to All-Pac-12 teams and five to Pac-12 All-Academic teams. Senior offensive lineman Joe Dahl earned Second-Team All-America honors and was later drafted by Detroit in the fifth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. Defensive lineman Hercules Mata’afa garnered First-Team Freshman All-American honors by USA Today.

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

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

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

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

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

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

COACHING CAREER

EDUCATION

Leach led Texas Tech to one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2008 as the team set a program record with 11 regular-season wins en route to an 11-2 record. The win total tied the mark, set previously by the 1953 and 1973 Red Raider squads. Numerous accolades poured in from across the country as an unprecedented four players earned first-team All-America status, in addition to Leach’s three coach of the year honors. Quarterback Graham Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered first-team honors, while wide receiver Michael Crabtree was honored as a unanimous All-American for the second-straight season.

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

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

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

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

Safety Darcel McBath was selected by the Denver Broncos in the

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

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

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

Prior to joining Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games.

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

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

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

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

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