Joe Dahl named to the Outland Trophy watch list

The redshirt senior will have plenty of work to do in 2015 to build up his case to be an Outland Trophy finalist.

To be successful in an Air Raid offense, it's crucial that all five of your lineman are on the same page and can keep pressure off the quarterback. Each season under Mike Leach, Washington State's big uglies have improved in protecting the quarterback. With virtually every snap taken in the shotgun formation, sacks prove costly as the Cougars seem to be 10 to 15 yards behind the original line of scrimmage when they occur. Offensive line coach Clay McGuire and the Cougar coaching staff have done a great job developing this young offensive line.
