In Washington State’s two victories this season, they have found success through both QB John Mateer’s arm and legs (though mostly his legs). In week one against Portland State, it was Mateer’s 352 passing yards and five touchdowns, while last week against Texas Tech, he rushed for 197 yards. Like Washington, opponents have been lower level, so it remains to be seen how they will fare against stiffer competition in an emotional match up.
Key Players
John Mateer is not your usual WSU quarterback. Instead of a big armed pocket passer, he is a true duel (maybe even run first) threat.
