BOB ROBERTSON, NATIONS LONGEST TENURED RADIO ANNOUNCER: Hall of fame announcer
Bob Robertson is in his 48th season calling Cougar football games, and according to a nation-wide
survey of sports information directors, is the longest tenured radio announcer in the country with
the next closest being Bill Hillgrove who has announced 44 straight seasons at Pitt. Robertson began
calling WSU games in 1964 and with the exception of a three-year period in 1969-71, has been call-
ing Cougar games ever since. Last season, Robertson slid over from his familiar play-by-play role
and passed the microphone to Bud Nameck. Robertson now hosts the Cougars pre, halftime and
postgame shows, while also providing analysis during the games.
COLLEGE GAMEDAY RECORD: In addition to Chris Fowler, Kirk Herbstreit and Lee Corso, ESPNs

its 149th consecutive appearance on the weekly show, dating back to the beginning of the 2004
season. Two fags Ol Crimson and Gray have been fown in the background of the GameDay set
by dozens of friends and alumni. The Gray fag was added this year after Whitey was retired in honor
of Steve Gleasons No White Flags. WSU recognized the GameDay fag wavers in a pregame
ceremony prior to the Montana State game in 2010. In addition to the fags that fy, there is a traveling
fag signed by the holders after each episode. The traveling fag is retired after each season, the frst

gers. Only Western Kentuckys Brandon Doughty put up bigger numbers, going 46-of-56 for 569 yards
and six touchdowns in a win over Bowling Green.
HALLIDAY FIRES AWAY ON RECORD BOOKS: Quarterback Connor Halliday continued to push his
name up the WSU record book with his fourth career fve-touchdown game and third career 500-
yard performance. Last season, the redshirt-senior tallied nine 300-yard games, fve 4-touchdown
games and his 4,597 passing yards were the most in school history and second-most in Pac-12
history, breaking Ryan Leafs school record of 3,968 set in 1997.

including four 5-touchdown games, all school records. Hallidays 34 touchdown passes last season
tied Ryan Leaf (1997) for the most in WSU single season history. His fve scoring throws against
Rutgers pushed him past Ryan Leaf and into third all time with 63 career touchdown passes, trailing
only Jason Gesser (70) and Alex Brink (76). Halliday also moved past Leaf and Jack Thompson on
WSUs career passing yards list, and into third all-time with 7,963 career passing yards, closing in on

WSU QUICK FACTS
4
YOUTH MOVEMENT CONTINUED IN 2013: The Cougars continued their youth movement last season
after 17 freshmen, including nine true freshmen made their debuts in 2012. In 2013, WSU saw 10
freshmen play including fve true freshmen. Last season, the Cougars started eight sophomores in
each game, four on each side of the ball and saw 17 sophomores contribute. In the season-opener
at Auburn, the Cougars started true freshman wideout and eventual All-Pac-12 honorable mention
selection River Cracraft and also saw freshman cornerback Daquawn Brown make his debut. A
week later, Brown made his frst collegiate start at No. 25 USC and made a game-high 11 tackles and
two pass break-ups. He fnished the season with 50 tackles, two interceptions and second on the
team with fve pass breakups. Cracraft fnished the year with
46 receptions, three touchdowns and averaged 13.3 yards-
per-catch. Cracraft capped his freshman campaign with
season-best nine catches for 125 yards and touchdown in the
New Mexico Bowl, tying a WSU bowl record for receptions.
COUGAR OFFENSE TOOK OFF IN 2013: The Washington State passing offense produced the fourth-
best passing offense in the country last season at 368.0 yards-per-game with quarterback Connor
Halliday owning the third-highest passing average at 353.6 and the third-most passing yards in
the country (4,597). The offense set the Pac-12 record for
completions (470), surpassing the previous mark of 398 set by
Arizona in 2011, and the record for pass attempts (756), passing
last years mark of 624 set by WSU. Halliday posted the school
record for passing yards in a season along with two of the
NCAAs top fve single-game passing marks in the FBS last
season including the top (557). WSU had 10 receivers catch a
pass in a game 11 times last season and three receivers catch
seven touchdown passes (Dom Williams, Gabe Marks, Vince
Mayle).
OFFENSIVE LINE MADE HUGE STRIDES: Washington State showcased an improved offensive line
last season, nearly doubling rushing yards and allowing 25 fewer sacks than 2012. WSU debuted the
improved running game in the season opener at Auburn, rushing for 120 yards and two touchdowns,
its highest rushing total since rushing for 125 yards at Oregon in 2011. The Cougars also rushed for
113 yards against Oregon State and 101 at Arizona. WSU fnished with 10 rushing touchdowns in 2013
after posting six rushing scores all of 2012. Against Southern Utah last year, the offensive line hit
another mark, not allowing a sack for the frst time since against Utah in 2011. They turned in another
highlight against Utah in week 11, again not allowing a sack to
a Utes defense that had entered the week leading the country
in sacks. The Cougars fnished the season with the second-
best pass attempts-to-sack ratio in the Pac-12 Conference at
23.9 (756/32), going the second-longest between allowing sacks
while dropping back to pass the most times in Pac-12 history.
Oregon State led the conference at 25.0 (625/25).
2014 COUGAR OFFENSIVE LINE BREAKDOWN: The Cougars return two starters from last year in
left tackle Joe Dahl and left guard Gunnar Eklund who combined for 33 starts to start the season,
the fewest by any Pac-12 offensive line. WSU replaces the center and right side of the line after all
three positions were occupied by seniors in 2013. Sophomore center Riley Sorenson and redshirt-
sophomore Eduardo Middleton are the only offensive linemen with game experience, appearing in
a combined four games last season. The re-vamped line protected for Connor Halliday who went
40-of-56 for 532 yards and fve touchdowns while allowing just three sacks.
DAHL NAMED OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK: Each week, Washington State coaches award
the Bone award to the offensive lineman who performs the best during the previous game. Red-
shirt-junior left tackle Joe Dahl is the week one recipient after grading out at 90 percent and deliver-
ing two knockdown blocks in last Thursdays game against Rutgers.
WSU DEFENSE HITS THE MARK: The Cougars defense posted some impressive numbers last
season, holding eventual SEC champion Auburn to 99 passing yards and 4-of-13 on third down. The
following week, WSU limited No. 25 USC to 54 yards passing, 193 yards in total offense including All-
American wideout Marqise Lee to 51 all-purpose yards. The defense did not stop once returning to
Martin Stadium, posting a shutout in the 42-0 win over Idaho in week four, notching the frst shutout
since 2003 (Idaho, 25-0 in Seattle) and the frst home shutout since 1999 (Louisiana-Lafayette, 44-0).
WSU fnished the year tied for third in the Pac-12 in red zone defense with Oregon, trailing only USC
and Stanford. The Cougars forced 30 turnovers in 2013, second-most in the Pac-12 and the most by
a Cougar defense since the 2006 team forced 30.

completions in NCAA history. The 89 pass attempts were the second-most in NCAA history and were
a Division I record, surpassing the previous mark of 83 thrown by Drew Brees in 1998.
COUGARS TO FACE EIGHTH-TOUGHEST SCHEDULE IN 2014: According to ESPN Insider Brian Fer-
meau, the Cougars entered the season with the eighth-toughest schedule in the country. Utah sits

ALLISON NAMED TO ALLSTATE AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM: Cougar linebacker Jeremiah
Allison is a nominee for the Allstate American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Good
Works Team. For 23 years the Allstate AFCA Good Works Team has served as one
of the most coveted and prestigious off-the-feld honors in college football. The award
recognizes players whose charitable involvement and community service contributions
stand out among all other student-athletes participating in the sport. Allstate Insurance
Company and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) announced a record-
breaking 182 nominees from across the country who represent the sports fnest in the
areas of volunteerism and leadership among their peers. Allison, a junior, has been
involved with many community service projects in and around Pullman, Wash., assisting
in Habitat for Humanity, the Washington State Athletics Reading Buddies with local
elementary schools, Sr. Buddies at the local retirement home , a Special Olympics
basketball tournament and Butchs Holiday Bash for local children. The Los Angeles
native has also helped out with National Women In Sports Day and is a member of the
Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for football. Allison was named to the WSU Athletics
All-Academic Team as a freshman. Last season as a sophomore, Allison appeared in all
13 games, made seven tackles and recovered one fumble.
WSU TO INDUCT STEVE GLEASON IN TO ATHLETIC HALL OF FAME: WSU will induct Steve
Gleason as the lone member into the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame, WSU Director of Athlet-
ics Bill Moos announced this summer. In an unprecedented move, Gleason will be the
sole member of the 2014 class and will be recognized in an in-game ceremony during
a home football game later this fall. Steve exemplifes all we stand for at Washington
State University and will be our exclusive honoree for the 2014 class, said Moos. Its
an opportunity to focus on everything he has accomplished, as a student-athlete, as a
professional athlete and as a role model and hero for so many. After consultation with the
Hall of Fame committee, I felt it was appropriate, and most deserving, to have Steve as
the lone inductee this year. Throughout his battle with ALS, he has served as an inspira-
tion to Cougars young and old. Gleason was a four-year letterwinner in both football and
baseball during his time at Washington State (1995-99). On the football feld he was a two-
time team captain, garnered All-Pacifc-10 Conference honors three times and fnished his
career with 282 tackles, ninth-most in school history. As a member of the baseball team
Gleason served as team captain his senior year and his 12 career triples were tied for third
when he left. Academically Gleason was a four-time Pacifc-10 All-Academic selection
for football, including frst-team honors his junior and senior seasons. As a senior he was
also a GTE Academic All-District VIII First Team selection and received WSUs Beulah M.
Blankenship Outstanding Student-Athlete award and the Student-Athlete Advisory Board
Outstanding Senior Award. Gleason went on to play in the NFL for seven seasons (2000-
07), all with the New Orleans Saints. As a player he may be best remembered for blocking
a punt that resulted in a touchdown in the Saints frst game in New Orleans in nearly 21
months following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina. Gleason was diagnosed with ALS
in 2011 and since that time he, along with his foundation, Team Gleason, has been a global
leader in raising awareness of and improving the lives of those affected by the disease.
Gleason will join the current 177 members of the WSU Athletic Hall of Fame.

an improved 2013 campaign by earning a trip to the New Mexico Bowl, the schools frst bowl ap-
pearance since 2003.
COUGARS REACHED WINS MARKS AGAINST NATIONS FIFTH-TOUGHEST SCHEDULE: For the
frst time since 2006, the Cougars reached the six-win mark, recorded four conference wins, won
consecutive conference games (Arizona, Utah) and tallied three conference road wins in a season
(USC, Cal, Arizona). According to the USA Today, WSU played the ffth-toughest schedule in the
country, falling by a touchdown at eventual SEC champion Auburn, winning at USC and facing
Stanford and Oregon away from Martin Stadium. The combined record of the seven teams WSU
lost to was 67-27, with four of the teams fnishing the year in the top-15 of the fnal BCS standings.

COUGARS KNOCKED OFF NO. 25 USC: Washington States 10-7 win at No. 25 USC week two last
season was its frst victory over the Trojans since 2002 and frst win over USC in Los Angeles since
2000. The victory was also the frst win over a ranked team since beating No. 16 Oregon 34-23 in
Pullman in 2006 and the frst win over a ranked opponent on the road since beating No. 10 Oregon
55-13 in 2003.

BUCANNON GONE TO THE NFL: Safety Deone Bucannon was selected in the frst round of the 2014
NFL Draft as the No. 27 overall pick by the Arizona Cardinals last spring. Bucannon was the frst
Cougar taken in the frst round since cornerback Marcus Trufant was the No. 11 overall selection in

safety Eric Frampton was taken in the ffth round by the Oakland Raiders in 2007 and is Washington
States 13th overall frst-round pick. Bucannon closed out his Cougar career with one of the best
seasons in WSU history, being named a First-Team All-American by the Associated Press, a Jim
Thorpe Award Semifnalist and an All-Pac-12 First Team selection. The Fairfeld, Calif. native led the
Pac-12 with 114 tackles and tied for the conference lead with six interceptions. Bucannon, a three-
time all-conference pick, notched 100-tackle seasons as a junior and senior, also owned team-highs
of three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He fnished his career fourth in WSU history
in career tackles (384), second in career solo tackles (268) and third in career interceptions with
15. He closed the season as the NCAAs active career leader in solo tackles, tied for the lead in
career interceptions and ffth in career total tackles. Bucannon also played on the kickoff and punt

2002 MEETING IN SEATTLE
Aug. 31, 2002
Washington State def. Nevada, 31-7
SEATTLE - Jonathan Smith had two short touchdown
runs and Will Derting returned one of his three intercep-
tions for a school-record 98-yard score as 12th-ranked
Washington State opened with a 31-7 victory over
Nevada.
Jason Gesser, whose Heisman campaign began in
July with a poster put up on the side of grain elevator in
Dusty, Wash., recovered from a slow start to complete
17 of 29 passes for 242 yards and a touchdown.
Zack Threadgill was 17-of-30 for 155 yards for Nevada,
but he was intercepted three times - all by Derting, whos
an outside linebacker.
Dertings third interception was the big one, and it
came as Nevada was threatening to score. The Wolf
Pack had advanced to the Cougars 10-yard line with
6:45 left when Derting stepped in front of Threadgills
pass at the 2. Derting rumbled down the left sideline
for the touchdown.
Nevada, a 27-point underdog, used a variety of forma-
tions and kept the ball for nearly 12 minutes in the frst
quarter. The Wolf Pack took a 7-0 lead on a 7-yard run
by Chance Kretschmer.
Gesser threw a 44-yard touchdown pass to Jerome Riley
in the second quarter to tie it at 7-all. Riley fnished with
fve catches for 117 yards.
Smith provided the go-ahead score to put the Cougars
up 14-7 just before the half. The seven play, 67-yard drive
was helped by Nevada penalties for pass interference
and roughing the passer.
Smith, a junior transfer who practiced sparingly
because of an injury, had 10 carries for 50 yards. Both
his touchdowns were from 2 yards out.
Kretschmer, last seasons NCAA rushing leader with
1,732 yards, ran 26 times for 67 yards.
Each team netted 108 rushing yards, while Washington
State had a 261-174 edge in passing. The game was
slowed by penalties, with the Wolf Pack being penalized
67 yards on eight fags, while Washington State was
called nine times for 80 yards.
Nevada held a nearly 2-1 advantage in time of pos-
session.
It was the frst meeting of the teams and the frst time
WSU played someone other than Washington in Seattle
since a matchup with USC in the old Kingdome in 1976.
A crowd of 63,588 turned out at Seahawks Stadium,
and Washington State offcials billed it as the largest
pro-Cougars crowd to watch the team.
LAST MEETING
Sept. 9, 2005
Washington State def. NEVADA, 55-21
RENO, Nev. Alex Brink passed for three touch-
downs, Michael Bumpus scored on an 87-yard punt re-
turn and Jerome Harrison and DeMaundry Woolridge
combined for 254 yards rushing in Washington States
55-21 victory over Nevada on a Friday night.
Eric Frampton returned an interception 36 yards for
the opening touchdown and Washington State sacked
Nevada quarterback Jeff Rowe fve times in the frst
half to help the Cougars (2-0) take a 27-0 halftime lead.
Caleb Spencer scored on a 21-yard pass from Rowe in
the third quarter for Nevada (0-1), but Brink answered
with a 22-yard TD pass to Hill to make it 34-7 at 10:27 in
the third quarter.
Brink was 15-of-23 for 202 yards, including two touch-
downs to Hill, who had fve catches for 92 yards.
Woolridge, a freshman, came off the bench to run for
133 yards on 15 carries, including a 1-yard score and a
70-yard run from scrimmage late in the game. Harrison
carried 18 times for 121 yards, his ffth game in a row
over the 100-yard mark.
Nevadas top receiver Nichiren Flowers, a frst-team
all-Western Athletic Conference selection last year,
was benched the frst half for disciplinary reasons and
caught only two passes the second half for 20 yards.
Rowe completed 19 of 32 passes for 219 yards. B.J.
Mitchell led Nevadas rushers with 59 yards, including
a 14-yard touchdown run late in the game, and Spen-
cer fnished with seven catches for 126 yards.
Bumpus, who returned fve punts for 157 yards, took
one 21 yards to Nevadas 44 late in the frst quarter.
Four plays later, Brink found tight end Troy Bienemann
open in the end zone for an 18-yard score and a 14-0
lead.
Loren Langleys 18-yard feld goal made it 17-0 at 9:51
in the second quarter. A few minutes later, on third-
and-9 from his own 2, Brink threw over the middle to
Hill for a 47-yard gain and then hit him with a 6-yard TD
pass to cap a 99-yard scoring drive for a 24-0 lead at
3:33 in the second quarter.
A 29-yard punt return by Bumpus helped set up Lang-
leys feld goal from 27 yards 22 seconds before the
half.
Bumpus 87-yard touchdown return at 9:30 in the third
quarter was the longest punt return in school history,
breaking the record of 81 that both Rick Reed and
Mark Williams set against San Jose State in 1968. It
was Bumpus third punt return for a touchdown, tying
Washington States career mark.
Josh Swogger came off the bench to throw a 44-yard
TD pass to freshman Brandon Gibson to push Wash-
ington States lead to 48-7 with 4:36 left in the third
quarter.
After Mitchells touchdown, Robert Hubbard scored on
a 3-yard run to cut it to 48-21 with 12:51 left in the game
before Woolridge scored with 7:12 left.

Washington State University announced Nov. 30, 2011 that Mike Leach had been named the
Cougars head football coach.
In 2013, Leachs second season at the helm of the Cougars, he guided Washington State to
the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the frst bowl game for the Cougars in a decade. Last season the
Cougars ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense, setting a school-record at 368.00 yards
per game, eclipsing the previous mark of 343.3 ypg in 1997. The Cougar offense threw for more
than 400 yards fve times, including a 2013 NCAA FBSbest 557 yards at Oregon. Quarterback
Connor Halliday set WSU single-season records for passing yards (4,587), attempts (714) and
completions (449), the frst WSU quarterback to surpass the 4,000-yard mark. The Cougars
picked up more national recognition as safety Deone Bucannon became WSUs frst All-
America frst-team selection since 2005 and was later selected as the No. 27 overall pick in
NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, the frst Cougar taken in the frst round since 2003. The
Cougars also placed eight student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams during the season.
In his frst season in Pullman, Leachs high-powered offense led the Pac-12 Conference
in passing, averaging 330.42 yards per game. That fgure ranked ninth nationally and marked
the second-highest average in school history. Seven times the Cougars threw for more than
350 yards, including the season-ending, 31-28, overtime win against Washington. In a season
that produced a 3-9 overall record, the Cougars saw a bit of a youth movement as 17 freshmen
played and only four seniors started regularly. Academically, nine Cougars received Pac-12
All-Academic honors while the 2012 fall semester football GPA of 2.66 marked the frst time the
football team had been over a 2.60 GPA for fall semester.
Leach brought a proven record of winning to Pullman. In 10 seasons as a head coach, all
at Texas Tech (2000-09) his program earned 10 bowl bids. In addition, the Susanville, Calif.,
native who was raised in Cody, Wyo., recorded a school-record 84 victories during his tenure.
Leading the most prolifc passing offense in the country, Leach received three national
coach of the year awards in 2008 - the Woody Hayes Award, Howie Long/Fieldturf Coach of
the Year, and George Munger Award. His offense spreads the feld with his exciting brand of football and guided Texas Tech to six NCAA passing titles and three total
offense titles during his 10 seasons in Lubbock. Leachs offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, his frst season with the Red Raiders,
but surpassed those numbers in each of his next nine seasons.
During Leachs time in Lubbock, Texas, the Red Raiders increased their yards per game by more than 150 and averaged nearly 20 points more per outing. In the passing
game, Texas Tech threw for about 300 yards more per game in the decade Leach was at the helm.
Leach led Texas Tech to one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2008 as the team set a program record with 11 regular-season wins en route to an 11-2
record. The win total tied the mark, set previously by the 1953 and 1973 Red Raider squads. Numerous accolades poured in from across the country as an unprecedented
four players earned frst-team All-America status, in addition to Leachs three coach of the year honors. Quarterback Graham Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and
offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered frst-team honors, while wide receiver Michael Crabtree was honored as a unanimous consensus All-American for the
second-straight season.
On the feld in 2008, the Red Raiders led the nation in passing for the sixth time in Leachs ten seasons and ranked among the top fve in total offense. Harrell fnished his
storied career second on the NCAA career passing yardage list with 15,793 yards. Harrell also broke the career NCAA passing touchdowns mark with 134.
The Texas Tech program has established itself as one of the nations leading producers of productive quarterbacks since the 2000 season. Harrell threw for 4,555 yards
in his debut as the starter in 2006 and became the sixth player and third Red Raider in NCAA history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season with his 5,705-yard effort in 2007
and 5,111 yards last season. He also is the third quarterback under Leach to win nine games in a season and the frst Red Raider in history to win 11 in a regular season.
Former quarterback Kliff Kingsbury in 2002 and Cody Hodges in 2005 each posted nine-win seasons during their careers, while 2003 and 2004 signal callers B.J. Symons
and Sonny Cumbie each won eight games in their respective seasons as the starter.
The Red Raiders improved their total offensive numbers from 324.8 yards per game to 531.0 yards per game since Leachs arrival. Leachs frst nine seasons at Tech rank
as the top nine all-time in total offense, while scoring went from 23 points per game in 1999 to a school-record 43.8 points in 2008. The most signifcant increase was in the
passing game, where the Red Raiders averaged 475.3 yards per game in 2008 compared to 175.4 yards in 1999.
The running game fourished under Leach as well. Former Red Raider Taurean Henderson holds the NCAA career record for receptions by a running back. The Red
Raiders 28 total rushing scores in 2008 were the most for a Tech team since the 1993 team scored 30. Despite Techs offense revolving around the pass, Leach did a
tremendous job of incorporating the running back position into the mix. Henderson fnished his career with 303 receptions, which ranks frst in NCAA history among running
backs and fourth overall.
The Red Raiders were not known solely for their play on the scoring side of the ball. The Texas Tech defense also fourished during Leachs 10 seasons. Texas Tech
held opponents without an offensive touchdown a dozen times under Leach, including seven shutouts. Three of the whitewashes came in 2000 when the Red Raiders tied
for the national lead.
The play of the special teams also improved with each season. Former placekicker Alex Trlica holds the NCAA record with 233 career extra points and another record
for extra points made without a miss. He fnished with 377 career points, which ranks among the top 10 in NCAA history among kickers. While leading the Red Raiders to
76 wins in his nine seasons, Leach is the only coach in school history to lead ten teams to bowl games.
Although Leachs presence was felt throughout the team, it also was benefcial for the players individually. In addition to picking up the Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2007,
Harrell was the recipient of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fames Post-Graduate Scholarship and was one of 15 players selected as a
candidate for the prestigious Draddy Award, the academic Heisman. Harrell also ranked fourth in the 2008 Heisman voting, while Crabtree was ffth. Symons was the
second Tech quarterback to receive The Touchdown Club of Columbus Sammy Baugh Trophy (Kingsbury in 2002).
Kingsbury, a 2002 All-Big 12 frst-team quarterback and sixth-round draft pick of the New England Patriots, led the Big 12 Conference in several passing categories

COACHING CAREER
EDUCATION
during his fnal three seasons and was a Heisman Trophy candidate in 2002. He also was
named the Verizon Academic All-American of the Year for football and was awarded an $18,000
postgraduate scholarship by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.
In 2004, inside receiver Trey Haverty became Techs frst Associated Press All-American
since Montae Reagor in 1998, when he was selected to the third team. Free safety Dwayne
Slay earned frst-team All-America honors from Sports Illustrated in 2005, marking the frst in
seven seasons. Slay was one of the countrys most punishing tacklers that year and led the
conference and fnished second nationally with eight forced fumbles.
Leach has coached several players who have gone on to the NFL. While at Tech, 18 players
have been drafted and 21 others have signed free agent contracts. In the spring of 2009,
four players were selected among the frst four rounds of the NFL Draft, marking the most
successful draft for Texas Tech in the Leach era. Crabtree became the highest draft pick at
No. 10, since Gabe Rivera in 1983. Crabtree, selected by the San Francisco 49ers, is the highest
drafted Tech receiver since Dave Parks went No. 1 overall in 1964.
Safety Darcel McBath was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round, while
offensive lineman Louis Vasquez was taken in the third by San Diego. Defensive end Brandon
Williams went to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth.
The program made strides academically as well under Leach. During his 10 years, Tech was
recognized as one of the nations top institutions for consistently being above a 70 percent
graduation rate, according to the American Football Coaches Association.
Prior to coming on board at Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma, directed
a Sooner offense that went from one of the worst in the Big 12 Conference to one of the best.
Under Leachs tutelage, Josh Heupel was named 1999 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year.
For his efforts, Leach was nominated for the 1999 Broyles Award as the top assistant coach
in the country.
Leach guided an Oklahoma offense that went from 11th in the Big 12 in 1998 to frst in 1999
and 101st in the nation to 11th. In just one year, OUs total offense numbers improved from 293.3
to 427.2 yards per game.
The rise in passing and scoring offense categories is just as impressive. Oklahoma went
from last to frst in the Big 12 in passing offense in one year, from 107th in the country to ninth.
Under Leach, the Sooners improved from 109.9 yards passing per game to 321.7 yards per
game.
In 1998, Oklahoma was last in the Big 12 and 101st in the country in scoring offense at 16.7
points per game. In 1999, the Sooners improved to second in the league and eighth in the
country in scoring at 36.8 points per game, an increase of just over 20 points per game.
Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records. The
Sooners were one of only two schools in the nation to have six players with 20 or more
receptions in 1999.
Prior to joining Bob Stoops Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal
Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. For two years at
Kentucky under Mumme, Leach coached the Kentucky Air Raid offense that was one of the
most explosive in Southeastern Conference history. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky
offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records
in 22 games.
Leachs Kentucky offense featured the talented Tim Couch, who passed for 4,275 yards and
34 touchdowns as a senior and was the top pick of the 1999 NFL Draft.
Named 1996 Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly
magazine, Leach helped Mumme lead Valdosta State to a 40-17-1 record. The 1993 Blazer
offense smashed 66 school records, 22 conference records and seven national records. In
1994, Valdosta State advanced to the Division II playoffs with Leachs offense shattering 80
school records, 35 conference records and seven more national marks.
Leach and Mumme frst teamed up at Iowa Wesleyan College in 1989. From 1989 to 1991
Leach served as offensive coordinator and line coach for an offense that led the NAIA in
passing yardage one season and fnished second the other two. Iowa Wesleyan quarterbacks
passed for more than 11,000 yards in Leachs three seasons and broke 26 national records.
Leach also has made coaching stops in Pori, Finland, where he served as a head coach in
the European Football League (1989), as well as one-year stints at College of the Desert (1988)
and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo (1987).
After graduating with honors from BYU in 1983, Leach earned a masters degree from the
U.S. Sports Academy and his law degree from Pepperdine University, where he graduated in
the top one-third of his class.
The oldest of six siblings, Leach and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of four children;
Janeen, Kim, Cody and Kiersten.

SEATTLE Paul James ran for 173 yards and scored his third touchdown with 3:24 left to give Rutgers a wild 41-38
victory over Washington State on Thursday night in the Scarlet Knights frst game as a member of the Big Ten. Gary
Nova threw a 78-yard touchdown to Leonte Carroo on the frst play from scrimmage and Rutgers withstood a pass-
ing onslaught from Washington States Connor Halliday. Rutgers won its opener for the sixth time in nine years and
picked up a signifcant road victory with a challenging Big Ten slate ahead. Meanwhile, Washington State has just
one victory in its last nine openers. Halliday did his part. The senior completed 40 of 56 passes for 532 yards and fve
touchdowns, but his fourth-down pass for River Cracraft near midfeld with 53 seconds left was batted away. Nova
was 16 of 27 for 281 yards and a pair of touchdowns, but the Scarlet Knights rode James and the run game. James
had 113 yards rushing in the frst half and touchdown runs of 1 and 56 yards as Rutgers built a 21-10 lead. The Scarlet
Knights leaned on James at the end. Cracraft fumbled a punt near midfeld with 7 minutes left and Rutgers recovered
trailing 38-34. James carried on four straight plays and Nova hit consecutive passes, the second an 11-yard dart to
Carroo to the 14 with 4:11 left. James capped the drive with a 3-yard TD run and Rutgers was back ahead. Washington
State couldnt put together one fnal drive. Halliday was sacked and a pair of incompletions turned the ball over with
less than a minute left. Halliday overcame a shaky start and was nearly fawless in the middle two quarters. After an
early interception, Halliday connected on 15 of his next 21 throws the rest of the half, including touchdown tosses
of 4 yards to Isiah Myers and a 26-yard fick to Vince Mayle late in the frst half to pull Washington State to 21-17 at
the break. He was even better in the third quarter, leading the Cougars to a pair of touchdowns with nearly fawless
effciency. Halliday hit on 13 of 15 passes to start the second half, his only incompletions a throwaway under pressure
and a drop in the end zone. Halliday hit Cracraft on a 7-yard strike to give Washington State a 24-21 lead. Myers had
his second touchdown catch, taking a huge hit while hauling in a 14-yard strike on third-and-goal for a 31-24 lead. Just
as quickly the lead was gone. Kyle Federicos second feld goal, on the frst play of the fourth quarter, pulled Rutgers
to 31-27 and after a Washington State three-and-out, Nova found John Tsimis for a 29-yard TD and a 34-31 lead with
10:50 remaining. Halliday answered in a hurry. He found Myers for 43 yards to the 9, then went over the 500-yard mark
on a 5-yard TD pass to Rickey Galvin for a 38-34 lead with 8:13 left, the Cougars fnal lead.
