Good morning. For the seventh straight season, head coach Mike Leach took the Washington State Cougars football team to Lewiston for a portion of training camp. The Spokesman Review is in Lewiston as well, and is publishing some thorough practice reports. Sunday’s feature denoted the five most intriguing position battles taking place on the field, from quarterback to safety.
I won’t try and lift Theo Lawson’s breakdown, since he’s far closer to the situation than I am, but I will try and rank the position battles from most concerning to least concerning.
1) Strong Safety - Instead of four-year starter and prospective NFL player Jalen Thompson back there, WSU is left to choose between JuCo transfer Chad Davis and freshman Tyrese Ross to fill some big shoes.
