PULLMAN — Anthony Gordon spent three years paying his dues and sharpening his skills at Washington State.
In an era when quarterbacks often aren’t willing to wait their turn, patience paid for the redshirt senior.

Leach has refrained from naming his starting QB in the past and last year the coach was tight-lipped when asked about the competition between Minshew, Gordon and Trey Tinsley, not giving many clues as to which of the three would be taking the first snaps of the season against Wyoming.
