PULLMAN – Last week, we listed five predictions for the Washington State football team in 2019. Now, here are five pressing questions facing the Cougars this fall, starting with the most obvious one – another quarterback conundrum.
1. Can WSU get enough production from a first-year starter at the QB position?
It isn’t as easy as Gardner Minshew made it look. While Minshew was proof that a graduate transfer quarterback can succeed, it’s important to understand he isn’t the rule, but an exception. Minshew’s prior knowledge of the Air Raid, and willingness to put in extra work with WSU’s receivers, mitigated the learning curve somebody else in his position may have experienced.
