Cougars’ coach Leach conceded that quarterback Luke Falk could have avoided two of the sacks, but he challenged the offensive line to take more pride in winning one-on-one battles.
Washington State quarterback Luke Falk assumed total responsibility for the amount of time he spent on the ground during the Cougars’ defeat to Cal last week.
“A lot of those sacks were on me. I think I could have avoided them,” said Falk, who was sacked a season-high seven times by the Golden Bears.
The quarterback did his best to deflect blame from his offensive line, but as the Cougars’ prepare to face Oregon this weekend, Washington State coach Mike Leach pulled no punches when he called out his offensive linemen and challenged them to raise their level of play.
