The Washington State Cougars are led by Mike Leach, one of the top Offensive minds in all of College Football. Leach has perfected the Spread Offense and his teams have relied more on going through the air than on the ground. That trend continues this season.
Washington and Washington State are the lone schools in the Pac-12 North that remain undefeated. Following last week’s win over the USC Trojans, the Cougars come into Autzen ranked 11th in the Associated Press poll. Quarterback Luke Falk has been a passing machine putting up over 1800 yards in five games. The Cougars are putting up an average of 80 yards on the ground, but are the second best passing team in the country.
