PULLMAN, Wash. - The Washington State University football team will begin its spring practice schedule, Thursday, March 22, the first of 15 practice dates that conclude April 24. The annual Crimson and Gray Game will be April 21 at Joe Albi Stadium in Spokane at 1 p.m. and televised by the Pac-12 Networks.
This spring marks the seventh under head coach Mike Leach as the Cougars return 41 lettermen from last season's Holiday Bowl team, 23 on offense, 15 on the defense and three on special teams.
Offensively, the Cougars return just four starters from 2017, led by senior offensive tackle Andre Dillard, redshirt-junior running back James Williams, and a host of young receivers.
