With exactly one week to go before the start of the football season for the Washington State Cougars against the New Mexico state Aggies, there was at least some question as to who the starting quarterback would be. The Spokesman Review’s Theo Lawson reported this past Sunday that Anthony Gordon would be getting most of the work in practice this week ahead of Eastern Washington Eagles transfer Gage Gubrud so it at least appeared Leach was leaning that way.
Then, Mike Leach did something very weird Saturday: he actually came out and named a starter!
