PULLMAN – A runaway train unable to pump the brakes, Will Rodgers III blew through his offensive lineman and barreled toward Cammon Cooper.
Rodgers knows the policy: Washington State’s quarterbacks aren’t to be touched or scratched in intrasquad scrimmages, so pinning them to the turf is certainly against the Crimson & Gray Game code of conduct.
But the Cougars want Rodgers’ vengeance in the fall, so it’s hard to ask the defensive lineman to restrain in the spring. Rodgers did make an attempt to slow himself, so by the time the junior reached Cooper, he was able to wrap the quarterback up without completing the takedown.
