Washington State Football: Anyone Can Do It


Tough times in Cougar Country. Fortunately we're not talking about 40+ women. They're still there and fine as far as we know. We're talking about Pullman, the home of Washington State. Their QB situation is so dire, they had to have open tryouts this week.

QBs Kevin Lopina and Kevin Rogers are out due to injury so coach Paul Wulff was forced to hold tryouts this week. Some kid named Peter Roberts won the job but he has a long way to go. Wulff still doesn't know his name.
...I don't know his name," Wulff said Tuesday. "We went through a series of 29 kids who went through it. He's a good kid. He's a kid from the state of Washington. He's a two-year starter at Woodinville High School."
Roberts won't actually start ... for now. He'll run the scout team as the third-string QB and two freshmen backups are lining up to be injured.


This Roberts kid has Shane Falco written all over him. He still needs to get past three other QBs. Jeff Gillooly showed us one path to glory and Brooke Langton. However he might also consider paying off USC and Arizona State to "sweep some legs" if you will. USC are already paid like professionals so it might be tough coming up with the money but any team coached by Dennis Erickson can be bought off.
