If it comes to pass that rookie Joe Dahl gets playing time on the Lions’ offensive line, his background at Washington State should have him prepared to protect the quarterback.
Dahl played under head coach Mike Leach, whose reputation for running a passing-oriented offense is documented in the NCAA record book.
In a 2013 game against Oregon, Cougars quarterback Connor Halliday set the NCAA Division I record for pass attempts in a game with 89. Halliday had 58 completions, which tied another record, in the 62-38 loss.
That was not a one-game fluke.
