WSU Cougars

Former WSU Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew stepped in for an injured Nick Foles two weeks ago and has won over NFL fans in and out of Jacksonville since then. According to 710 ESPN Seattle's Brock Huard, there's one particular trait that can set Minshew apart.

Anthony Gordon threw for 440 yards and three touchdowns for his third straight 400-yard game as No. 20 WSU pulled away in the second half to get a 31-24 win over Houston on Friday night.

Nearly 30 years since they first connected in Iowa, WSU coach Mike Leach and Houston coach Dana Holgorsen will face off for the first time Friday night when Leach's 20th-ranked Cougars face Houston in Holgorsen's first season in charge.

With WSU football and the Seattle Mariners both playing Friday night, Washington State coverage will be on AM 770 KTTH in the Seattle area.

Jaguars QB Gardner Minshew, a phenom a year ago as a graduate transfer quarterback at WSU, had the highest completion percentage for any player with at least 15 pass attempts making their NFL debut.

Anthony Gordon threw for 464 yards and four touchdowns and the No. 22 WSU Cougars pounded FCS school Northern Colorado 59-17 on Saturday.

The No. 22 Cougars are looking to answer some questions at outside receiver. The problem is not a dearth of talent. It's too much available talent.

A surprising percentage of WSU wide receiver Renard Bell's receptions go for touchdowns. Now he's getting the call on coin tosses as team captain -- for a very interesting reason.

Though both the UW Huskies and WSU Cougars won their openers on Saturday, the two Pac-12 teams moved in different directions in the AP Top 25 poll.

Anthony Gordon completed his first 15 passes, threw for 330 yards and four touchdowns in the first half, and the No. 23 WSU Cougars rolled past New Mexico State 58-7.
