WSU now has running game to complement Mike Leach’s Air Raid offense

After racking up 111 rushing yards against Oregon State and 136 yards against Oregon, the Cougars have a running threat for the first time in the Mike Leach era.

Don’t look now, but the Air Raid offense now has an effective ground-attack wing.

After racking up 111 rushing yards in their 52-31 win over Oregon State on Saturday, and 136 rushing yards against Oregon the previous week, Washington State has now compiled two-straight 100-yard rushing efforts for the first time since 2011.

That means, for the first time in the Mike Leach era, the Cougars have established a running threat.
