BERKELEY, Calif. – Mike Leach and Justin Wilcox would never admit to envy, but if they could each borrow something from the other’s football program, it’s hard to imagine they’d pass up the opportunity.
If Washington State had Cal’s discipline in the defensive secondary, or Evan Weaver’s hyperactivity in its linebacking corps, the 4-4 Cougars might be in a better place than they are right now.
If WSU could throw Cal a few of its rangy, athletic, sure-handed wide receivers, or send over quarterback Anthony Gordon for a game or two, the 4-4 Golden Bears would probably feel much more optimistic about their prospects of getting back to the postseason.
