Anthony Gordon waited for years to get on the field for Washington State.
He's certainly has made up for the lost time.
The senior who succeeded Gardner Minshew as the Cougars' starter this season leads the nation with 3,387 passing yards and an average of 423 yards through the air per game.
Gordon has also thrown for 32 touchdowns with only nine interceptions in eight games. He is eyeing the Pac-12 touchdown record set by Washington's Jake Browning (43) and the league record of 4,776 passing yards set by Minshew last season.
Of course, it's not uncommon for a quarterback playing in coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense to lead the nation in passing since the Cougars throw on most downs, averaging 52 passes a game.
