PULLMAN, Wash. (AP) The quarterback gets much of the attention in Mike Leach's Air Raid offense. But the receivers are just as important, and Washington State will use an array of them in the season opener against Portland State on Saturday.

''We'll play eight of them,'' Leach said this week.

That's in addition to throwing often to running backs Jamal Morrow, Gerard Wicks and Keith Harrington.

Last season, the Cougars threw for a school-record 5,732 yards.
