Nick Rolovich will be making his home debut when Washington State hosts No. 11 Oregon on Saturday.
He's already gotten the Cougars off to a good start with a couple of other “firsts.”
Rolovich became the first Washington State head coach to win his debut on the road since Warren Powers in 1977 when the Cougars opened the conference-only season with a 38-28 win at Oregon State last weekend.
The Cougars (1-0) were led by quarterback Jayden de Laura, the first true freshman to start a season opener in program history. He threw for 227 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another.
