New WSU defensive line coach Jeff Phelps has the Cougars homed in on little details

It’s a subtle change, but one new Washington State defensive line coach Jeff Phelps hopes will help his linemen get off the ball faster and get to the quarterback more effectively.

This Saturday, when the Cougars put on their annual Crimson and Gray Spring Scrimmage at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane, watch how the defensive linemen position themselves on the line of scrimmage before the snap.

Instead of lining up directly across from opposing offensive linemen this season, WSU’s defensive linemen will start off lined up in gaps in between the opposition instead.
