Forget the bookies, odds makers, TV analysts, and heck, maybe even the players themselves.
The man who might have the most intimate knowledge of both offenses in 18th-ranked Washington State’s final non-conference game against Nevada resides 2,000 miles southeast of Pullman, in the town of Jackson, Miss.
Hal Mumme created the Air Raid offense with WSU head coach Mike Leach, and fathered, mentored and trained Nevada offensive coordinator Matt Mumme, his son. For him, this game is a must-see matchup for the ages.
These days, Mumme is the head football coach at Division III Belhaven University.
