As the Washington State Cougars prepare for the upcoming Pac-12 Media Day, there are a few storylines that stand out. Here are five of the most important storylines to watch for Washington State Football:
1. Mike Leach’s Return: After a tumultuous offseason, Mike Leach is back as the head coach of the Cougars. He’s had a lot of success in the past, and it will be interesting to see how he fares in his second stint with the program.
2. Quarterback Battle: With the departure of Gardner Minshew, the Cougars have a wide open competition for the starting quarterback job. Anthony Gordon, Trey Tinsley, and Gage Gubrud are all vying for the position, and it will be interesting to see who emerges as the starter.
3. New Offensive Coordinator: Washington State hired former Boise State offensive coordinator Eric Kiesau to replace Graham Harrell. Kiesau has a lot of experience in the Pac-12, and it will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the Cougars’ offense.
4. Defensive Improvement: The Cougars were one of the worst defensive teams in the Pac-12 last season, and they’ll need to make significant improvements if they want to compete in the conference this year. It will be interesting to see how they address this issue at Media Day.
5. Schedule Outlook: Washington State has a tough schedule this year, with games against Oregon, Stanford, and Washington all on the slate. It will be interesting to hear what Leach and his staff have to say about their chances of success this season.
These are just a few of the storylines to watch for Washington State Football at Pac-12 Media Day. It should be an exciting event, and it will be interesting to see how the Cougars fare this season.
