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 an-
nouncer 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 calling 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 College GameDay has had another
constant the WSU fag, which this weekend will be making its 156th 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 of which is hanging in WSUs
Alumni Center.

YOUNG COUGS MAKE DEBUTS
The Cougars saw another true freshman make his debut in linebacker Dylan Hanser who appeared
on defense against California. At Utah, true freshman safety Sulaiman Hameed made his frst career
start after making his collegiate debut against No. 2 Oregon the week prior. This season, 23 players
have made their WSU debuts including 14 who have recorded their frst career start including seven
freshmen. A total of 17 freshmen have played including six true
freshmen, punter Jordan Dascalo, wide receiver Calvin Green,
cornerback Pat Porter, Hameed and linebackers Frankie Luvu
and Hanser.
FOR STARTERS
In the season-opener against Rutgers, eight Cougars make their frst career start, fve on offense
and three on defense and four more freshman made their frst career start at Nevada. The offen-
sive line owns three players, center Riley Sorenson, right guard Eduardo Middleton and right tackle
Cole Madison, who all made their frst start this season, with Madison also making his collegiate
debut. Against Rutgers, redshirt-freshman running back Jamal Morrow started while the defense
saw senior SAM linebacker Mitch Peterson make a game-high 16 tackles in his frst career start. At
Nevada, redshirt-freshmen Darius Lemora (S), Robert Lewis (WR), Charleston White (CB) and true
freshman Calvin Green (WR) each notched their frst career start. Against No. 2 Oregon, two more
players made their frst career start, redshirt-junior defensive end Darryl Paulo and junior WILL
linebacker Jeremiah Allison. Freshman safety Sulaiman Hameed was the latest to join the frst-time
starter group, starting at Utah.
A NUMBER OF COUGAR FIRSTS
A couple of young Cougs reached their frst milestone week three against Portland State. Redshirt-
freshman quarterback Luke Falk offcially made his debut at Nevada, appearing in one play for an in-
jured Connor Halliday but made the most of his appearance against PSU, hitting Rickey Galvin for his
frst career completion before connecting with Dom Williams for an 84-yard touchdown for his frst
career touchdown toss. Also against the Vikings, redshirt-freshman cornerback Charleston White
picked off his frst career pass and redshirt-freshman running back Gerard Wicks punched in a one-
yard touchdown run for his frst career score. Against Utah, Wicks and fellow redshirt-freshman
running back Jamal Morrow each posted career-highs in rushing yards, 56 and 48, respectively.
WSUS COMEBACK WIN AT UTAH
Washington State came back from a 21-0 defcit to leave Salt Lake City with a 28-27 victory last
weekend. The Cougars held Utah to three points an in the second half and just 48 yards of total of-
fense in the fourth quarter to post the largest comeback win since erasing a 27-6 hole to upset No.
1 UCLA 34-30 on the road in 1988.
ONE-POINT GAMES
Washington States last two games have each been decided by one point, winning at Utah and
falling to California. The last time WSU played in consecutive one-point games came in 1971, falling
to California 24-23 and beating Stanford on the road 24-23. The Cougars 28-27 victory over Utah
marked the fourth time since the 2004 season that WSU has been involved in a one-point decision.
In those contests the Cougars are 3-1, winning 23-22 Sept. 11, 2010 when Nico Grasus 18-yard feld
goal with 2:13 remaining in the contest propelled WSU to victory over Montana State. In 2004 Ja-
son Hills 15-yard touchdown reception from Josh Swogger with 0:53 left gave WSU a 20-19 win at
Arizona while the lone loss came in 2012 when Colorado scored with 0:09 remaining to cap a come-
from-behind, 35-34 victory in Pullman.
HALLIDAY ADDED TO MAXWELL AWARD WATCH LIST
Connor Halliday was added to the Maxwell Award Watch List last week. Each year the Maxwell
Award is presented to the College Player of the Year as voted by head coaches, members of the
Maxwell Football Club along with sportswriters and sportscasters from across the country. Halliday
and 10 other players were added to the list after the Maxwell Football Club believed that additional

announced Nov. 3 and three fnalists for each award will be announced Nov. 24. The winner will be
announced as part of the Home Depot College Football Awards Show which will be held on Dec. 11.

Connor Halliday earned Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week after his record-setting
performance against California. He completed 49 of 70 passes for an NCAA FBS record 734 yards,
six touchdown and no interceptions while guiding the Cougars to 59 points, their highest total since
posting 64 to open the 2011 season against Idaho State. The 734 yards eclipsed the previous record
of 716 yards set by David Klingler of Houston, Dec. 2, 1990. Halliday threw for 337 yards in the frst
half and 397 yards in the second half, a school record. The Spokane, Wash. native became just the

HALLDAY ADDS ANOTHER NCAA FBS RECORD
Connor Hallidays 734 passing yards against California isnt the only NCAA record he owns. Last sea-
son he went 58-of-89 for 557 yards and four touchdowns at No. 2 Oregon, setting Pac-12 and WSU
single-game records for pass completions and attempts in addition to records he broke for passing
yards and total offense. His 58 completions tied an NCAA Division I record with Andy Schmitt of
Eastern Michigan in 2008 and were the second-most completions in NCAA history. The 89 pass at-
tempts 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.
NATIONS PASSING LEADER
Quarterback Connor Halliday enters the week leading the country in total passing yards (3,344),
touchdowns (28), passing yards-per-game (477.7) and total offense (460.6). He owns three of the
top-six passing performances in all FBS games this season.
HALLIDAY ADDS TO TOP MARKS
Connor Halliday has added to his school-records with some big performances this season. Halliday
has thrown for 300+ yards in six of the frst seven games including three 500-yard games highlighted
by the 734-yard night against Cal. He owns 20 career 300-yard performances, eleven 400-yard
games, fve 500-yard games, 14 four-touchdown performances including six 5-touchdown games
and three 6-touchdown games, all school records. Last season, the Spokane, Wash. native tallied
nine 300-yard games, fve 4-touchdown games and his 4,597 passing yards were the most in school
history, second-most in Pac-12 history, breaking Ryan Leafs school record of 3,968 set in 1997. His
34 touchdown passes also tied Leafs top mark, also set in 1997.
HALLIDAY BREAKS TOUCHDOWN RECORD, CLOSES IN ON YARDS MARK
In the midst of leading the historic comeback victory at Utah, Connor Halliday tossed four touchdowns
and broke Alex Brinks school record for touchdown passes. Hallidays third touchdown of the night,
the second to Dom Williams, was No. 77 of his career, breaking Brinks record of 76. He enters
the week with 86 career touchdown throws, third-most in Pac-12 Conference history, trailing Matt
Barkleys record of 116 and Matt Leinarts 99. Halliday is also closing in on the WSU passing yards
record. He enters the week with 10,775 career passing yards, seventh in Pac-12 history, and 138
yards behind Brinks school record of 10,913.
COUGAR OFFENSE BREAKS OWN PAC-12 RECORDS AGAINST CALIFORNIA
WSUs 734 passing yards against California were Pac-12 and WSU records while the 812 yards of
total offense was a WSU record, breaking the 706 set against Portland State in week three. The
previous passing mark was also set week three, passing for 630 yards as a team (Halliday 544, Falk
86), breaking the 557 set at Oregon last season. Against Portland State, the Cougars also passed for
seven touchdowns, tying the school record (UNLV - 2011).
NEW-LOOK OFFENSIVE LINE
The Cougars returned 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 replaced 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 were the
only two with game experience, appearing in a combined four games last season while redshirt-
freshman Cole Madison has started each game at right tackle in his frst collegiate season. The
2014 offensive line is the biggest (weight) its been since coach Mike Leach arrived with the line
now averaging 309.4 lbs, up 20 pounds from 288.2 in 2013 and 288.6 in 2012. The re-vamped line has
protected Connor Halliday who leads the country in passing yards and passing touchdowns.
MORE STRIDES FROM THE OFFENSIVE LINE
Washington State showcased an improved offensive line last season, nearly doubling rushing yards
and allowing 25 fewer sacks than 2012. Last year, WSU rushed for 120 yards and two touchdowns at
Auburn, 113 yards against Oregon State and 101 at Arizona. WSU fnished the year with 10 rushing
touchdowns in 2013 after posting six rushing scores all of 2012. The offensive line notched a couple
milestones last season, not allowing a sack against Southern Utah and Utah. The Utes 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. This season, the
Cougars limited Oregon to just one sack and did not allow a single sack in games against Portland
State and Cal.
DAHL NAMED COUGAR OFFENSIVE LINEMAN OF THE WEEK
Each week, Washington State coaches award the Bone award to the offensive lineman who per-
forms the best during the previous game. From the Stanford game, redshirt-junior left tackle Joe
Dahl earned his third straight Bone award and fourth of the season after posting the highest grade
of all of the lineman last week. Week 1: Joe Dahl; Week 2: Gunnar Eklund; Week 3: Gunnar Eklund;

ALLISON NAMED TO ALLSTATE AFCA GOOD WORKS TEAM
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, recognizing
players whose charitable involvement and community service contributions stand out among all
other student-athletes participating in the sport, and 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

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 Direc-
tor of Athletics 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 de-
serving, to have Steve as the lone inductee this year. Throughout his battle with ALS, he has served
as an inspiration 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.
WASHINGTON STATE OPENS COUGAR FOOTBALL COMPLEX
Washington State opened its state-of-the-art Cougar Football Complex this summer. The
84,000-square football building will house the Cougar football program including a locker room, play-
ers lounge, team and position meeting rooms, coaches offces, training and equipment rooms, an
11,153-square foot football-only weight room, the Cougar Football Hall of Fame and Heritage Area

LAST SEASON
Nov. 16, 2013
Washington State def. ARIZONA, 24-17
TUCSON, Ariz. Connor Halliday threw 25 yards to
Isiah Myers for the tie-breaking touchdown with 2:15
to play to give Washington State a 24-17 upset over
Arizona. Halliday completed 39 of 53 passes for 319
yards and two scores. KaDeem Carey scored both
touchdowns for Arizona (6-4, 3-4 Pac-12) on a 30-yard
run and a 7-yard reception from B.J. Denker. Carey
gained 132 yards on 26 carries, his 13th consecutive
100-yard game. On the fnal play of the game, from the
Washington State 13, Denkers pass to Samajie Grant
in the end zone was caught well out of bounds. Halli-
days frst touchdown pass, 23 yards to River Cracraft,
came after Arizonas botched punt attempt at the start
of the second half. Jake Smith missed feld goals of 40
and 34 yards for Arizona. Washington States Andrew
Furney had a 46-yard attempt bounce off the left up-
right. The Cougars winning 80-yard drive came after
Smith missed the 34-yarder with seven minutes to
go. On third and nine from the Washington State 38,
Halliday threw 10 yards to Dom Williams. Halliday hit
Teondray Caldwell for 19 yards to the Arizona 31. Then
on third-and-four at the 25, Halliday threw to the wide
open Myers, who dodged a tackler and ran a few steps
to the end zone. The Wildcats moved downfeld and,
on fourth and seven from the 28, Denker scrambled
nine yards to the 19 for the frst down. But Denker was
caught at the 13 on third and six and Arizona, without
any timeouts left, rushed to the line to get off a fnal
play. Denker lofted it to the end zone and Grant hauled
it in, but was a step out of bounds and the Cougars
rushed the feld in celebration. The Wildcats spotted
the Cougars a 10-0 lead, then got a pair of touchdowns
from Carey - one rushing, one receiving - to lead 14-10
at the half. Marcus Masons 15-yard touchdown run
put Washington State up 7-0, then Furneys 24-yared
feld goal made it 10-0 with 2:05 left in the frst quarter.
Arizona struck quickly after the subsequent kickoff,
Carey - in his 13th consecutive 100-yard rushing game
- breaking a series of arm tackles on a 30-yard touch-
down run to cut it to 10-7 with 47 seconds still left in
the opening quarter. The Wildcats took the lead with a
15-play, 90-yard touchdown drive. Denker threw wide
to Carey, who broke two tackles on a 7-yard scoring
play to put the Wildcats ahead 14-10 with 7:37 left in
the half. It was Careys frst touchdown catch of the
season. Arizona threatened again late in the half, but
Smiths 40-yard feld goal try was wide left as the sec-
ond quarter ended. The Wildcats took the second-half
kickoff and went three-and-out, then Drew Riggleman
dropped the ball trying to punt and Washington State
recovered at the Arizona 31. On second-and-18, Hal-
liday threw over the middle to Cracraft for a 23-yard
touchdown and the Cougars were back on top 17-14.
The Wildcats moved down the feld on their next pos-
session, but drive stalled at the WSU 8 and Smiths
25-yard feld goal tied it at 17-17 with 6:36 left in the
third quarter. The Cougars, in their frst game in 16
days, had a chance to take the lead with 10:24 left in
the third quarter but Furneys 46-yard feld goal at-
tempt bounced off the left upright. Arizona took over
and moved it downfeld but Smiths 34-yard feld goal
try was wide left.
LAST MEETING IN PULLMAN
Oct. 16, 2010
Arizona def. WASHINGTON STATE, 24-7
PULLMAN, Wash. Keola Antolin ran for two touch-
downs and No. 17 Arizona overcame the loss of quar-
terback Nick Foles by leaning on its little-used ground
game in a 24-7 victory over Washington State. Matt
Scott relieved Foles and threw for 139 yards for Ari-
zona. The Wildcats, who lead the Pac-10 in passing of-
fense, came in averaging only 27 rushing attempts per
game. They ran 26 times in the frst half alone against
the Cougars, and 47 times for 142 yards in the game.
Antolin, who ran for 92 yards, scored on a 9-yard run
late in the frst for a 7-0 lead. Foles was injured with
14:07 left in the second quarter when the Cougars
Travis Long rolled into his right leg and knocked him
down after a completed pass. Foles, the Pac-10 pass-
ing leader at 305 yards per game, limped off the feld,
supported between two Arizona offcials. He did not
return and it was unclear the extent of his injury. Scott
directed the team over the fnal 37 yards of a 95-yard,
15-play drive. Antolin ran up the middle from the 1-yard
line for a 14-0 lead. Arizona threatened in the closing
minutes of the frst half, moving 71 yards to the 19, but
Scott was intercepted by a diving Casey Locker in the
fnal seconds to kill the drive. Arizonas 14-0 lead was
the frst time this season that Washington State was
shut out in the frst half. The Cougars managed only 56
yards over the frst 30 minutes against a defense that
leads the league by allowing only 14 points per game.
The Wildcats got a break early in the third when Wash-
ington State punter Reid Forrest fumbled the snap
deep in his own territory. Khyri Knowles dove on the
ball at the 7 and, on the frst play, Nic Grigsby ran in for
a 21-0 lead. Washington State got on the scoreboard
when Jeff Tuel hit freshman Marquess Wilson with a
23-yard touchdown strike late in the third, but the Cou-
gars missed a chance to tighten the game after they
stopped Antolin on fourth-and-1 on the frst play of the
fourth quarter. Running back James Montgomery took
a handoff and then threw a backward pass that was
defected by Arizonas Brooks Reed and recovered
by DAundre Reed. Alex Zendejas eventually kicked a
40-yard feld goal for a 24-7 lead. Tuel connected with
Wilson for an 83-yard gain midway through the fourth,
giving the Cougars the ball on Arizonas 12 and Wilson
the fourth 100-yard game of his rookie season. But Tuel
was intercepted in the end zone to kill the threat. The
game was also costly for Washington State. The Cou-
gars lost offensive lineman David Gonzales to a broken
left arm and cornerback Damante Horton to a sprained
knee. But it wasnt a bad outing for Washington States
defense, which came in allowing more than 500 yards
per game. Arizona fnished with 352 yards.

WASHINGTON STATE FOOTBALL

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.

SALT LAKE CITY Connor Halliday threw for 417 yards and four touchdowns, including the game-winning score to
Vince Mayle, and Washington State overcame a 17-point halftime defcit to shock Utah 28-27 on Saturday night. Rain
fell steadily throughout but Halliday heated up in the second half, throwing for 267 yards in the fnal two quarters and
the WSU defense came up with key stops to give the Cougars (2-3, 1-1 Pac-12) a big road victory. On a drive they start-
ed on their own 8, Halliday connected with Mayle in full stride across the middle. Mayle, who had eight receptions
for 120 yards, sped untouched 81 yards for the go-ahead touchdown with 4:58 remaining. On the ensuing possession,
the Utes (3-1, 0-1 Pac-12) converted one fourth down on a Devontae Booker run but Charleston White broke up a long
pass to give the ball back to the Cougars at the WSU 49 with 2:30 play. Aided by two timeouts, the Utah defense held
and the Cougars punted after consuming just 1:04. Again, White broke up a fourth-down pass intended for receiver
Dres Anderson, who didnt have a catch after compiling 252 in the frst three games. In stark contrast to Halliday,
Utahs Travis Wilson completed 18 of 38 passes for 165 and consistently overthrew receivers or rifed the ball too hard.
Booker rushed 24 times for 178 yards but the Cougars outgained the Utes 495-357. One week after falling just short to
No. 2 Oregon (38-31), the Cougars saved their best for last against the previously unbeaten Utes. On fourth-and-14,
Halliday waited for Williams to clear to the back of the end for a 20-yard touchdown with 8:08 to play. Halliday and
his coach, Mike Leach, who is known for taking risks, scored two TDs on fourth-and-long situations. Jason Fanaika,
who spent much of the game in the WSU backfeld, wrestled away a loose ball after it slipped out of Hallidays hands
just before he wound up to throw a pass. Halliday had completed eight straight passes before the rain-soaked ball
squirted up into the air and glanced off the quarterbacks helmet and onto the ground. The Ute offense, on the other
hand, sputtered when the ball wasnt in Bookers hands but moved enough for Andy Phillips to kick a 43-yard feld goal
with 14:13 remaining to make it 27-14 for Utah but the Utes couldnt get close enough again to get Phillips a chance
at a game-winner. After a fumble recovery by Kache Palacio in the third quarter, Halliday fnally looked like he was
in rhythm and marched the Cougars down the feld with passes to the right, left and middle. Halliday hit Mayle on a
11-yard touchdown strike to draw WSU to 24-14. Halliday escaped the Ute rush on fourth-down-and-9 and lofted a 35-
yard touchdown pass to Dom Williams with 6:54 left until halftime. Phillips added a 46-yard feld goal with fve seconds
remaining in the second quarter and the Utes looked to be in command with a 24-7 lead at halftime. Eric Rowe jumped
a quick slant, grabbed a tipped ball for an interception and returned it 11 yards for Utahs frst touchdown of the game
with 10:01 left in the frst quarter. After stopping the Cougar offense again, Kaelin Clay shed a tackle near the sideline
and then sped across the feld and down the other sideline for a 58-yard TD return. The scintillating run marked his
third punt return for a touchdown this season which ties Steve Smiths record set in 1999. The Utes scored again when
Booker scampered 76 yards for a touchdown and made it 21-0 in the frst quarter. 165 and consistently overthrew
receivers or rifed the ball too hard. Booker rushed 24 times for 178 yards but the Cougars outgained the Utes 495-357.

GAME RECAPS
PULLMAN, Wash. Jared Goff threw for 527 yards and fve touchdowns as California held on to beat Washington State 60-59 on Saturday in
a game in which WSU quarterback Connor Halliday broke the NCAA passing record. Washington State kicker Quentin Breshears attempted a
19-yard feld goal with 19 seconds remaining and was wide right, preserving the win for California (4-1, 2-1 Pac-12). Halliday threw for 734 yards
and six touchdowns for Washington State (2-4, 1-2). Washington State has the nations No. 1 passing attack, while Cals is No. 8, and the teams
did not disappoint, combining for 1,400 yards of offense. Goffs 51-yard touchdown pass to Trevor Davis with 3:18 left in the game provided the
winning points for California. Halliday broke the NCAA passing yardage record for all levels, breaking the mark of 716 set by David Klingler of
Houston in 1990. Trevor Davis of Cal ran two kickoffs back for touchdowns in the wild third quarter when the two teams combined to score 56
points. Washington State scored frst on a 90-yard touchdown pass when Halliday threw to a streaking Vince Mayle, who caught the ball over
his shoulder at midfeld and outran the Cal defense into the end zone. Breshears kicked a 42-yard feld goal to give WSU a 10-0 lead. California
was forced to punt on its frst three possessions. But the Golden Bears got on the scoreboard when Goff hit Davis, who broke three tackles
to complete a 27-yard touchdown reception. Washington State replied with an 85-yard drive that ended when Halliday connected with Isiah
Myers on a 16-yard touchdown pass for a 17-7 lead with 10:59 left in the half. Cal marched quickly down the feld on its next possession, but the
drive stalled on the WSU 13 and the Golden Bears settled for James Langfords 31-yard feld goal to cut WSUs lead to 17-10. Halliday replied
with his third touchdown pass, a 17-yarder to River Cracraft for a 24-10 lead late in the frst half. The drive featured a 30-yard reception by Dom
Williams. Washington State turned the ball over on downs with just over a minute to play in the half. Cals drive stalled at the 8 and Langford
kicked a 26-yard feld goal to bring the Golden Bears within 24-13 at halftime. Halliday, the nations passing yardage leader, had 337 yards in
the frst half on 22-of-29 passing. The third quarter saw an explosion of offense, with each team scoring four touchdowns. Cals frst play of
the second half was a 55-yard pass completion from Goff to Stephen Anderson. Then Daniel Lasco caught a short pass from Goff and ran up
the middle for a 27-yard touchdown to cut WSUs lead to 24-20. After a WSU punt, California took the lead with an 85-yard drive that required
only four plays. Goffs 40-yard pass to Chris Harper put the ball at WSUs 15. Lasco ran the next play in for a touchdown that gave Cal a 27-24
lead with 11:31 left in the third. But WSU regained the lead on the next series when Halliday threw an 86-yard touchdown strike to a wide-open
Cracraft for a 31-27 lead. Then Washington State recovered an on-side kick and drove to the Cal 1, where Gerard Wicks ran in for a touchdown
and a 38-27 WSU lead. Cals Davis took the ensuing kickoff in the end zone and ran it back 100 yards for a touchdown, cutting the WSU lead
to four points. Halliday threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to Myers on WSUs next possession and the Cougars once again led by 11 points. But
Davis again took the ensuing kickoff and ran 96 yards up the right sideline for a touchdown, cutting WSUs lead to 45-41. Halliday hit Cracraft for
a 9-yard touchdown pass and a 52-41 lead. Cal opened the fourth quarter with a 5-yard touchdown pass from Goff to Bryce Treggs to get within
52-48. Cal went ahead when Goff connected with Treggs on a 21-yard touchdown pass that put the Golden Bears up 54-52 with 8:34 left in the
game. Langfords conversion kick was blocked by Xavier Cooper. Washington State drove 69 yards in 11 plays on the next possession, with
Gerard Wicks running over from the 1 to put the Cougars ahead 59-54 with 4:19 left. But California came right back, with Goff throwing a 51-yard
touchdown pass to Davis for a 60-59 lead with 3:18 remaining. The Golden Bears attempted a two-point conversion pass that failed. Washington
State took over with 3:17 left in the game and drove to the California 1. Breshears 19-yard feld goal attempt was wide right with 19 seconds left..

CALIFORNIA AT WASHINGTON STATE
Oct. 4, 2014 Martin Stadium Att.: 30,020 TV: Pac-12 Networks
2014 COUGAR FOOTBALL
WASHINGTON STATE FOOTBALL
32
STANFORD, Calif. Kevin Hogan threw for 284 yards and three touchdowns and No. 25 Stanford slowed down Con-
nor Halliday and the Air Raid offense in a 34-17 victory over Washington State. Greg Taboado grabbed his frst two
career TDs and fellow tight end Eric Cotton had his frst scoring catch for the Cardinal (4-2, 2-1). A week after Halliday
threw for an NCAA-record 734 yards in a 60-59 loss to California, the nations stingiest scoring defense harassed
him all over the backfeld. Stanford held Halliday to 42-for-69 passing for 292 yards and two touchdowns, forced
one interception and had four sacks. Ty Montgomery hauled in seven passes for 72 yards, Cotton caught a 39-yard
TD pass and Taboado tallied two short scores from Hogan to give the Cardinal a 24-10 lead. Hogan completed 23 of
35 passes. Stanford improved to 9-0 after losses under David Shaw and hasnt dropped consecutive games since
October 2009. But penalties and miscues in the red zone cost the Cardinal from taking control - which has been a
theme this season - against a Washington State defense that struggled again. The usually stoic Shaw even broke out
of character a couple of times, though it was often directed at offcials, including tossing his headset while arguing
on the sideline for pass interference. He also dropped his hands to his side and shrugged after fullback Patrick Skov
fumbled while trying to stretch the ball over the goal line late in the frst half. Stanford still outgained Washington
State 477 to 266 yards - enough to bring a smile out of Tiger Woods on the sideline - and leaned on its defense to
do the rest. The Cardinal entered the game with the countrys best scoring defense (8.6 points) and ranked second
in total defense (232 yards) and passing defense (107 yards) per game. They lived up to the billing again, pressuring
Halliday constantly to break up the Cougars pass-happy schemes. Halliday moved Washington State well, at times,
but never found his quick-strike prowess. He tossed a 9-yard touchdown pass to Vince Mayle in the frst quarter and
threw across his body for a 3-yard TD strike to River Cracraft on fourth down to slice Stanfords lead to 24-17 early in
the fourth quarter. Cracraft fnished with 14 receptions for 100 yards. Jordan Williamson made two of three feld goals,
including a 34-yarder to extend the Cardinals lead to 27-17 with 8:13 left. Quentin Breshears kicked a 46-yard feld goal
for Washington State earlier. Remound Wright ran for 98 yards and a TD in the closing minutes, and Barry Sanders
had 68 yards rushing as the Cardinal totaled 193 yards on the ground. The Cougars had minus-26 yards rushing. Zach
Hoffpauir led the Cardinal with 15 tackles. Cougars cornerback Charleston White was helped off the feld several
minutes after colliding with teammate Darius Lemora in the third quarter. Stanford wide receiver Devon Cajuste also
stumbled off the feld after taking a hard hit.
