PULLMAN – After six days at Lewiston’s Sacajawea Junior High, Washington State returned to Pullman Friday for their first live scrimmage of the preseason.
Under the Martin Stadium floodlights, the Cougars drove down the field nine times and held 108 plays, shuffling through six different quarterbacks. As expected, the three signal-callers competing for WSU’s starting job – Anthony Gordon, Gage Gubrud and Trey Tinsley – got the majority of the work, equally splitting six of the nine drives.
Below, we evaluate the play of the QBs and list four other takeaways from Friday’s scrimmage.
1. Gubrud’s debut
Mike Leach claimed a few weeks ago he’d like to whittle the QB race down to two players sooner than he did last year, but if you came here looking for clarity on that front – or merely a hint or two – you’re sorely out of luck.
