SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) Washington State goes into preseason practice looking for a new leader of coach Mike Leach's ''Air Raid'' offense.

The record-setting Connor Halliday is gone after throwing for 32 touchdowns and a nation-leading 430 yards a game last season, meaning Leach is left to decide between sophomore Luke Falk and redshirt freshman Peyton Bender for the starter's job.

Falk started three games after Halliday broke his leg late in the season against Southern California and figures to be the front-runner.
