Everyone knows No. 20 Washington State is going to throw the ball, and do it a lot. The Cougars did it 71 times last year against Boise State.
Senior quarterback Luke Falk is back again to torment opposing defenses, which he did in Washington State’s 31-0 win last weekend, completing his first 20 passes against Montana State.
“I’ve never heard of anyone doing that before,” Boise State sophomore linebacker Tyson Maeva said.
Falk completed 70 percent of his 633 pass attempts last season, throwing for 4,468 yards and 38 touchdowns, with 11 interceptions. His 11,204 career yards are nearly 2,000 more than any active passer in the country, from Division III on up.
