The streak is now at 191 after the appearance at Ohio State the final weekend of the regular season. 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.

NATIONAL AWARD WATCH FOR FALKQuarterback Luke Falk is one of 10 finalists for the Manning Award, the only college football quarter-back award that includes the candidates’ bowl performance. Falk was also 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, one of 15 semifinalists for the Walter Camp Football Foundation Player of the 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 performances in wins at No. 15 Stanford, at Arizona State, at Oregon State, vs. Arizona and California. He has also been named one of the Man-ning Award Stars for the Week three different times.

FALK SETS NCAA FBS 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 Oct. 29. 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 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 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 touch-down pass to Gabe Marks with three seconds remaining. In the win at Oregon State this season, 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 TAKES OFFENSE TO NEW LEVELThe 2016 offensive line took 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) from the 2015 line, the new line has produced the second-ranked passing offense in the country and seven games with 100+ rushing yards including three 200-yard efforts. The Cougars are made up returning starters center Riley Sorenson (now with 33 starts), right guard Eduardo Middle-ton (37 starts) and right tackle Cole Madison (33 starts) who have started next to one another for the past two-plus seasons. 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 started all 12 games at left tackle this season. At left guard, redshirt-junior Cody O’Connell became WSU’s second unanimous All-American is in his first season as a starter after playing on the field goal team all of last season.

PAC-12 RECORD WATCH

OFFENSIVE LINE AMONG NATION’S BEST According the website footballoutsiders.com, the Cougar offensive line sits near the top of a couple categories. WSU enters the Holiday Bowl leading the country in “Stuff Rate” (11.5%) that is the percentage 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” (78.8%) 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 No. 17 in “Opportunity Rate” (44.0%) 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. Most recently, Pro Football Focus rated the Cougar offensive line seventh in the country.

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 the win over Cali-fornia, his third of the season. The awards in 2016: Eastern Washington: 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; at Colorado: None; Washington: None

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 elevated their games in 2016 leading to a more balanced Air Raid. WSU rushed for 100 yards seven times including three 200-yard efforts in wins over Idaho, Oregon and California. 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 Holiday Bowl averaging 126.8 yards-per-game and have rushed for 23 touchdowns, the most since the 1997 team ran for 27 scores. The trio of redshirt-juniors Jamal Mor-row and Gerard Wicks, and redshirt-freshman James Williams headline the Cougar backs who led the Pac-12 running back groups with 31 total touchdowns and 981 receiving yards and are third with 2,591 total yards. The backs combine for 122 receptions and average 231 all-purpose yards-per-game. Williams enters the Holiday Bowl game leading all Pac-12 running backs with 47 receptions.

COUGAR RUSHING ATTACK BREAKS OUTThe Cougar running game erupted this year, rushing for 200+ yards three times against Idaho, Ore-gon and California. Against Oregon, WSU rushed for 280 yards (most since 2006) and six touchdowns (the most since 1997). Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and James Williams each scored twice and combined for 389 all-purpose yards while averaging 7.8 yards-per-carry in the win. In the win over Idaho, the Cougars rushed for 228 yards, led by Williams with 126 yards and a score. 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 capped the day with his first career score. Against Cal, WSU tallied 254 yards including a season-high 128 from Wicks who averaged a WSU single-game record 14.2 yards per-carry. All three backs own a 100-yard game this season. The Cougars have rushed for 100+ yards seven times in 2016 after reaching that mark five times in 2015 and just four times in the previous three seasons combined. WSU averaged 80.1 rushing yards per game in 2015, doubling its average from 2014 (39.1).

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 owns the school record for receptions by a running back. The redshirt-junior owns 138 career catches, breaking Steve Broussard’s previous top mark of 120. Morrow also sits 10 re-ceptions away from moving into the WSU Top-10 for receptions. He enters the Holiday Bowl leading the team with 1,184 all-purpose yards, averaging 98.7 all-purpose yards-per-game, second on the team with 562 rushing yards, third with nine total touchdowns and fifth with 44 catches.

CAPTAIN MORROW COME ON DOWNJamal Morrow has served as the WSU game captain for the past 21 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 15-6 during the stretch and Morrow is 7-2 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 16 times in those 21 games.

DEFENSE CONTINUES TO MAKE STRIDES UNDER GRINCHThe Cougar defense has improved each week under defensive coordinator Alex Grinch. So far this season, WSU forced 22 turnovers and held opponents to 132.9 rushing yards per game, third-lowest in the Pac-12 Conference. 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.

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 continued this season, WSU forced 22 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 10 fumble recoveries and 12 interceptions. Under Grinch, the Cougars are 13-3 when forcing multiple turnovers in a game.

The Sammamish, Wash. native recorded 10+ tackles three times and led the Cougars in tackles seven times including the final three games. The redshirt-junior started the 2016 season with a game-high 10 tackles against EWU, added a 12-tackle game against California and a career-high 16 at Colorado before making a team-high nine in the Apple Cup. He needs 11 tackles in the Holiday Bowl to notch his second straight 100-tackle season after making 101 last season. WIL linebacker Isaac Dotson made five tackles against EWU and in his first career start, and later 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, tallied a game-high seven tackles, 2.5 for loss and forced a fumble against Arizona and enters the Holiday Bowl fourth on the team with 56 stops including six for loss.

Sorenson stayed at home in Southern California this summer 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.

No. 14 BYU def. No. 20 Washington State, 38-26SAN DIEGO – Three games in one was more than the 52,000-plus fans at San Diego’s Jack Murphy Stadium paid for, but three games is what they saw as the Brigham Young Cougars held on to defeat the Washington State Cougars 38-36. The BYU squad won the first game, a 31-minute affair that generated a 31-7 lead for the team from Provo. The next 25 minutes just as convincingly belonged to WSU 29-7. In the end, however, the game belonged to BYU as much for defense as anything. They stopped the Pullman team with just over three minutes to play by forcing a punt, then ran out the clock to preserve the win. Jim McMahon, in his last collegiate game, completed 27 of 43 passes for 342 yards and three touchdowns. More impor-tantly, he did not throw an interception. The WSU Cougars used the running of Don LaBomme and quarterback Ricky Turner to baffle the BYU team, especially in the second half. Turner gained 92 yards in 12 carries and scored twice, while LaBomme added 79 yards in 14 carries and scored once. Robert Williams and Mike Martin also scored for the Cougars. WSU’s failure on a two-point conversion late in the third quarter, an interception BYU’s Ron Holmoe returned 35 yards for a touchdown on the third play of the third quarter, and a key sack of Casper on WSU’s last posses-sion loomed big in a game that had numerous turning points.

No. 15 Washington State def. No. 5 Texas, 28-20 SAN DIEGO – Washington State reached the 10-win plateau for the third time in as many seasons with a 28-20 comeback victory over Texas in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Facing a 10-7 halftime deficit, the Cougars rallied to score three touchdowns in the third quarter and take a 26-10 lead into the final stanza. The second half fire-works began with a 54-yard touchdown pass from Matt Kegel to Sammy Moore with just over nine minutes left in the third. WSU used a trick play to get in the end zone once again four minutes later. Kegel lined up under center, but instead of taking the snap, ran in motion to the right sideline, leaving running back Jonathan Smith alone in the backfield. Smith fumbled the snap, but recovered and ran 12 yards for a touchdown. Two Texas possessions later, the WSU defense continued the onslaught when Jason David recovered a fumble and took it 18 yards for the Cougs’ final touchdown of the game. Washington State’s defense forced a fourth quarter safety to push its total to 28. Moore earned most valuable offensive player honors after converting both of his catches for touchdowns and setting up another with a 51-yard punt return. Sophomore Kyle Basler was named the game’s most valuable defensive player after pinning the Longhorns inside their own five on four occasions.

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.

BOULDER, Colo. – Sefo Liufau threw for 345 yards, rushed for 108 more and scored three touchdowns as No. 12 Colo-rado beat No. 20 Washington State 38-24 on Saturday in a matchup of unlikely Pac-12 division leaders. Phillip Lindsay added 144 yards rushing and two TDs for the Buffaloes (9-2, 7-1, No. 10 CFP), who can wrap up the South side of the conference if Southern California loses to UCLA later Saturday or by beating Utah next week. “It means the world to go out there and win, keep our hopes alive,” Liufau said. “It’s more fun than anything. We’ve been in close games for a long time now. We’ve gotten a little older and a little better at being consistent and executing.”Liufau briefly left in the fourth quarter only to return and pick up a crucial third-and-short that led to a game-sealing TD run by Lindsay. He becomes the second-ever Colorado player to throw for 300 and rush for 100 in a game, joining Steven Montez, who accomplished the feat at Oregon in September while filling in for a banged-up Liufau. Luke Falk threw for 325 yards and three scores for Washington State (8-3, 7-1, No. 22 CFP), which had won eight in a row. The Cougars can still win the North Division with a victory against No. 7 Washington next week. “I just thought we were incohesive as far as doing our jobs,” Washington State coach Mike Leach said. Colorado’s defense stepped up after the Buffaloes fell behind 24-21 late in the third quarter. The next four Washington State drives went like this: Turned the ball over on downs, punt, fumble and interception. “We lost focus and in the second half we buckled down,” defensive back Chidobe Awuzie said. Washington State and Colorado weren’t really expected to be in position for a division title this late into November. The Cougars were picked to finish fourth in the North during the preseason conference poll and the Buffaloes last in the South. Leach’s gambling mentality cost the Cougars a possible field goal when he went for it on fourth-and-4 in the fourth quarter. Colorado safety Nick Fisher tackled receiver Kyle Sweet short of the first down. Earlier, Leach rolled the dice on fourth-and-1 at his own 41 and Jamal Morrow rewarded his faith by gaining 30 yards. John Thompson later hauled in a 7-yard TD pass to give the Cougars a 24-21 lead. The Cougars finished 2 of 4 on fourth-down attempts. “We were close on two of those,” Leach said. “One of them I probably should have kicked a field goal. In the end, it probably wouldn’t have mattered.” Washington State: Standout receiver River Cracraft didn’t play because of what’s been reported as a torn ACL suffered last week. The Cougars made up for his absence by spreading around the wealth. Ten different players caught at least one pass. Colorado: The defense came up big in the fourth quarter with the only two sacks of Falk. This after being dealt a big blow in the first quarter when safety Afolabi Laguda was ejected for targeting.

GAME RECAPS

PULLMAN, Wash. – Jake Browning and No. 6 Washington passed its final test of the regular season thanks to one nearly perfect quarter. Browning threw for 292 yards and three touchdowns and the Huskies used a 28-point first quarter to beat No. 23 Washington State, claiming the Apple Cup for the fourth straight year and the Pac-12 North title. Browning threw all three touchdown passes in the first 15 minutes, hitting Dante Pettis on plays of 18 and 61 yards and John Ross on a 6-yarder. Browning had 243 yards passing by halftime, the Huskies had 386 total yards at the break and even Washington State’s third-quarter rally didn’t make Washington sweat. Washington (11-1, 8-1 Pac-12, No. 5 CFP) tied a school record with the 28-point first quarter, capitalizing on an early turnover that quickly put Washington State (8-4, 7-2, No. 23 CFP) in a 14-point hole. Browning completed 21 of 29 passes, becoming the third quarterback in Pac-12 history with at least 40 TD passes in a season. Ross had eight catches for 80 yards and his 16th TD catch of the season. Washington State quarterback Luke Falk was 33 of 50 passing for 269 yards and a 9-yard TD pass to Gabe Marks in the third quarter. But the Cougars were unable to find the end zone on three drives inside the Washington 10. Eight years after this matchup was mocked because of how bad the two teams were, the Apple Cup was back on a stage of national relevance as the Pac-12 North title game and regarded by many fans as the most important matchup of the 109 meetings. It became a purple party for the Huskies that made the trip over the Cascade Mountains to the Palouse. Lavon Coleman added 82 yards rushing and a pair of touchdowns. His 15-yard TD run early in the fourth quarter capped a 98-yard drive and sent many clad in red back to the tailgating lots. Washington’s first half was a picture of dominance, punctuated by big plays that left the Cougars playing chase from the start. Washington rolled up 386 yards in the first half, 252 coming in the first quarter and capitalized on three big mistakes by Washington State. Jamal Morrow fumbled on Washington State’s opening possession, recovered by D.J. Beavers at the Cougars’ 46. Eight plays later, Pettis caught an 18-yard touchdown and Washington had a 14-0 lead. Later in the half, Gerard Wicks was stopped at the 1 on fourth-and-goal on a great play by Benning Potoa’e. And on the final drive of the first half, Falk was intercepted by Beavers in the end zone. Down 35-17, Washington State had a chance to pull within 11 late in the third quarter, but on the 17th play Wicks was again stuffed on fourth-and-goal. Washington: The big play was a key in Washington’s big first half. The Huskies had eight plays of 15 yards or more. That included the 61-yard touchdown to Pettis, the 22-yard touchdown run by Coleman and a mixture of other long plays like Darrell Daniels’ 50-yard catch on a double pass from Pettis and Ross’ 31-yard run. Washington State: The Cougars defense was exposed for the second straight week. After holding California and Arizona to a combined 28 points, the Cougars gave up more than 500 total yards for the second straight week.

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.
