WASHINGTON STATE KICKS OFF 2015 SEASON HOSTING PORTLAND STATEWashington State opens the 2015 season hosting Portland State University at Martin Stadium Satur-day at 11 a.m. on the Pac-12 Networks.

NEXT WEEK The Cougars head to the east coast for a Saturday contest against Rutgers University in New Bruns-wick, N.J. Kick off is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. (PT) on ESPN2 or ESPNU. The two teams faced off is last season in week one with the Scarlet Knights posting a 41-38 victory in The Seattle Game.

COLLEGE GAMEDAY RECORDDating back to the beginning of the 2004 season, ESPN’s College GameDay has had the WSU flag appear throughout the show. The streak is up to 163 after last year’s appearance at the Army-Navy game in Baltimore Dec. 13. Two flags – Ol’ Crimson and Gray – have been flown in the background of the GameDay set by dozens of friends and alumni. The Gray flag was added last year after Whitey was retired in honor of Steve Gleason’s “No White Flags.” WSU recognized the GameDay flag wavers in a pregame ceremony prior to the Montana State game in 2010. In addition to the flags that fly, there is a traveling flag signed by the holders after each episode. The traveling flag is retired after each season, the first of which is hanging in WSU’s Alumni Center.

2015 SEASON PREVIEWWashington State returns 39 lettermen from last season, 17 on offense, 20 on the defense and two on special teams. Offensively, the Cougars return seven starters from 2014, including the entire of-fensive line. Led by senior Joe Dahl, an All-Pac-12 Conference selection last season, the line allowed the offense to break 10 single-game, 18 single-season and eight career records. In 2014 WSU led the nation in passing offense (477.7 ypg) while throwing for a school-record 5,732 yards. The Cougars receiving core returns River Cracraft, Dom Williams, Robert Lewis, Tyler Baker, and will be bol-stered by the return of Gabe Marks, who redshirted last season. Jamal Morrow and Gerard Wicks return at running back after the two received the majority of the carries last season. Quarterback Luke Falk, who started the final three games in 2014 and averaged 309 ypg last season. Defensively, WSU returns seven starters from 2014, including All-Pac-12 honoree linebacker Jeremiah Allison.

2014 SEASON RECAPWashington State University went 3-9 overall while playing the nation’s No. 23 toughest schedule according to the USA Today last season. The Cougars posted a 2-7 mark in Pac-12 Conference play with road wins over Utah and Oregon State. The WSU offense led the nation in passing at 477.7 yards per game, the second-highest total in FBS history, trailing only Houston’s 511.3 in 1989. WSU set or tied 42 school, conference or NCAA records during the season, including quarterback Connor Halliday who threw for an NCAA single-game record 734 yards against California. WSU also placed five student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams and five on All-Pac-12 teams during the season.

WSU IN SEASON-OPENERS Washington State owns a 69-45-5 record in season openers in its 119-year history. Head coach Mike Leach is a career 9-4 in season openers and has won seven of his last 10. WSU is 79-35-3 all-time in home openers, including games in Pullman, Spokane and Seattle. Since 1990 the Cougars boast a 17-8 record in home debuts, and are 26-13 dating back to the start of the 1975 season. Saturday’s opener against Portland State will be the first time WSU has opened its season in Pullman under Mike Leach, last opening in Pullman in 2011, a 64-21 win over Idaho State.

WSU VS. THE BIG SKYDating back to a 34-0 victory over Montana in 1903, the Cougars have played 48 games against teams currently in the Big Sky Conference. WSU is 45-2 in those games - including 19 shutouts - and has not lost to a team currently in the Big Sky in more than 60 years. The Cougars have won 18 straight meetings against Big Sky schools since a 13-12 road loss to Montana in 1947. The Cougars are 30-0 when playing a current Big Sky school in Pullman. Since the formation of the Pacific-10 Conference in 1978, the Cougars have won all 19 games played against Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) schools.

GRINCH, MANNING, HARRELL, MELE JOIN COUGAR COACHING STAFFWashington State made a couple changes to its coaching staff in the offseason, bringing on first-year defensive coordinator Alex Grinch who will also work with the Cougars secondary. Grinch spent the last three seasons at Missouri where he coached the safeties, helping Missouri to a 23-5 record over the past two years including two SEC East Division titles. Roy Manning joined WSU to coach the outside linebackers after serving the past two seasons at his alma mater, the University of Michigan, coaching the cornerbacks in 2014 and the outside linebackers in 2013. Making the move from offensive analyst to outside receivers coach is Graham Harrell who is very familiar with the Air Raid offense from his record-setting days as a quarterback for coach Mike Leach at Texas Tech. Eric Mele, who served as the interim special teams coach midway through last season, had the interim tag removed during the offseason and is the Cougars special teams coach.

DAHL NAMED TO OUTLAND TROPHY WATCH LISTRedshirt-senior left tackle Joe Dahl was named to the Outland Trophy Watch List, given annually to the nation’s top interior lineman. Dahl is one of 13 players from the Pac-12 Conference included on the 81-player list. WSU defensive tackle Rien Long won the award in 2002, also garnering first team All-America honors while leading the Cougars to the 2003 Rose Bowl. Dahl earned All-Pac-12 honor-able mention last season after starting all 12 games at left tackle for the nation’s top passing offense. The Spokane, Wash. native surrendered just one sack in the Cougars’ Pac-12 record 807 pass at-tempts and earned the WSU “Bone” Award (given to the team’s best offensive lineman each week) a team-best six times last season. Earlier this summer, Dahl was named to the preseason All-Pac-12 first team by ESPN.com, second team by Athlon Sports and third team by Phil Steele Magazine.

CRACRAFT NAMED TO BILETNIKOFF AWARD WATCH LISTJunior wide receiver River Cracraft was named to the 2015 Biletnikoff Award Watch List, annually recognizing the outstanding receiver in college football. Last season, three Cougars were named to the watch list including Cracraft, Vince Mayle and Isiah Myers. Mayle was later selected as one of the ten semifinalists. Cracraft finished last season seventh in the Pac-12 with eight touchdown catches, ninth with 66 receptions and tenth with 771 receiving yards in just nine games. The Trabuco Canyon, Calif. native tallied four 100-yard games and his 66 catches were tenth-most in WSU history.

WSU QUICK FACTS



ALLISON NAMED TO WUERFFEL TROPHY WATCH LIST, ALL STATE GOOD WORKS TEAMSenior linebacker Jeremiah Allison was named to the 2015 Wuerffel Trophy Watch List, known as “College Football’s Premier Award for Community Service.” Allison is one of 80 football student-athletes considered for the award that honors college football’s top community servant. Allison has been involved with many community service projects in and around Pullman throughout his three years at Washington State. The Los Angeles native has assisted with Habitat for Humanity, the Washington State Athletics Reading Buddies with local elementary schools, Sr. Buddies at the local retirement home and Butch’s Holiday Bash for local children. Allison also helped out with National Women In Sports Day and is a member of the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee for football. He was the recent recipient of the WSU athletic community service award and also works with a local church, setting up weekly bible studies in addition to speaking with local individuals who lost their parent or parents to share words of inspiration. For the second straight season Allison was also named to the All State Good Works Team for his charitable work and community work. On the field, the linebacker earned All-Pac-12 Conference honorable mention after appearing in all 12 games last season, starting the final nine, totaling 78 tackles and registering 8.5 tackles-for-loss, third-most on the team.

COUGAR AIR RAID TAKES OFFThe Washington State offense reached new heights last season, leading the NCAA in passing of-fense (477.7 ypg), the second highest mark in FBS history, trailing only Houston’s mark of in 511.3 ypg in 1989. Since Mike Leach arrived at WSU in 2012, the offense has improved each season in total offense, passing offense and scoring. Last season, the Cougars set or tied 42 school, conference or NCAA records including Pac-12 season records for pass attempts (771), completions (510), passing yards (5,732) and passing touchdowns (45).

FALK, BENDER BATTLE TO LEAD AIR RAIDRedshirt-sophomore Luke Falk and redshirt-freshman Peyton Bender battled for the starting quarter-back job throughout preseason camp and Falk is expected to start the season-opener. Falk gained valuable experience in 2014 after being forced into action after redshirt-senior quarterback Connor Halliday suffered a season-ending broken ankle against USC. Falk finished the game with 346 pass-ing yards against the Trojans after completing 38-of-57 pass attempts and two touchdown passes. In his first start at Oregon State the following week, he threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns to win his first career start, also earning Pac-12 Player of the Week honors. At No. 13 Arizona State the next week, the Logan, Utah native threw for 601 yards, second-most in WSU history and three touchdowns, also rushing for one. He capped his season with 355 yards and two touchdown passes in the Apple Cup. In just six games including three starts, Falk finished the season with 1,889 passing yards, more yards than 10 other FBS schools had for the season, and 13 touchdowns, more than 18 other FBS schools had for the season. Falk averaged 475.6 ypg in his three starts. Bender redshirted in 2014 and split first-team reps with Falk throughout the spring. The Fort Lauderdale, Fla. native capped spring ball with 265 passing yards and two touchdowns in the Crimson & Gray Spring Game.

MEMORABLE FIRST START FOR FALK Redshirt-freshman quarterback Luke Falk was named the Pac-12 Conference Offensive Player of the Week after leading WSU to a 39-32 win at Oregon State last season. In the first start of his career, Falk completed 44 of 61 passes for 471 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions. The Logan, Utah native completed passes to nine different receivers, with five different receivers catching touch-downs. With WSU trailing 10-0 in the first quarter, Falk led WSU on a 10-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, one of four touchdown drives of 70-plus yards he led on the day. His 471 yards and five touch-downs were the most thrown by a Cougar player in their first start.

WSU BY THE NUMBERS OFFENSIVE LINE RETURNS ALL FIVE STARTERSLast season, the Cougar offensive line featured three first-year starters and posted the second-best pass attempts-to-sack ratio in the league at 21.4 (771/36), going the second-longest between allowing sacks while dropping back to pass the most times in Pac-12 history in addition to blocking for the nation’s leading passing offense. Also in 2014, Washington State limited Oregon to just one sack and did not allow a sack in games against Portland State and California. Not only do all five starters return in 2015 but every offensive lineman (13) also returns from last year, providing the Cougars with great depth and chemistry up front. The 2014 offensive line was the biggest (weight) it’s been since coach Mike Leach arrived, averaging 309.4 lbs, up 20 pounds from 288.2 in 2013 and 288.6 in 2012. Again the Cougars will average nearly 310 lbs up front in 2015.

YOUNG COUGS LOOKING TO MAKE AN IMPACT Last season saw 28 players make their WSU debuts and 23 record their first career start including 12 freshmen. A total of 20 freshmen played including nine true freshmen. The 2014 offensive line featured three first-year starters in center Riley Sorenson, right guard Eduardo Middleton and right tackle Cole Madison. Eleven newcomers appear in the Week 1 depth chart against Portland State with a total of 12 freshman listed including six true freshmen.

COUGAR PASS CATCHERS AMONG NATION’S BESTLast season WSU was the only team in the country that had six players finish with 40+ catches last season and four of those players return in 2015 (Cracraft, Morrow, Williams, Lewis). Gone are receivers Vince Mayle (106 rec. 1,483 yds 9 TD, Biletnikoff Semifinalist, Browns 4th-RD) and Isiah Myers (78 rec 972 yds 12 TD) but the Cougars return five players who caught 20-plus passes and also welcome back Gabe Marks (74 rec 807 yds 7 TD in 2013) who redshirted last season. Also returning are the four Cougar freshmen who caught passes that combined for 131 receptions in 2014, third-most by a freshmen class in the country. Running back Jamal Morrow set a school record with 61 receptions by a running back last season, breaking Steve Broussard’s 1987 school-record of 59, and finished the season second in the country for receptions by a running back.

RECEIVER RECORD BOOK WATCHThe Washington State air raid offense has produced big numbers and as a result, a couple wide receivers find their names climbing the record books. Redshirt-senior Dom Williams enters the 2015 season tied for fourth in WSU history with 19 career touchdown receptions, three away from Hugh Campbell in third place and 13 from Jason Hill’s school record of 32. Williams also owns six career 100-yard games, tied for 10th all-time but also sits just outside the WSU career top-10 for receptions and receiving yards. Two receivers in River Cracraft and Gabe Marks, who have only played two seasons for WSU, also join Williams in closing in on the top-10 for receptions and receiving yards.

LINEBACKERS LEAD THE WAYThe Cougar’s 3-4 defense saw its linebackers fill up the stat sheet last season. Senior Jeremiah Allison took over the starting job at WILL linebacker week five against Oregon and put up some impressive numbers, finishing second on the team with 78 tackles. For Allison, 69 tackles coming as a starter in the last nine games, producing double-digit tackles in the first two starts of his career, 10 against Oregon and 13 (2 TFL) at Utah. He finished third on the team with 8.5 tackles-for-loss including 3.5 sacks. Redshirt-sophomore Peyton Pelluer took over at MIKE down the stretch, starting the last five games and posted 39 tackles including 5.5 for loss. Senior RUSH linebackers Ivan McLennan and Kache Palacio also return after producing solid junior campaigns. Palacio was second on the team with nine tackles-for-loss including a team-best 6.5 sacks while McLennan added 4.5 sacks.

YOUNG SECONDARY A YEAR OLDER The Cougars went through a youth movement in the secondary in 2014, starting six freshmen throughout the season including four true freshmen. Senior safety Taylor Taliulu, redshirt-sopho-more cornerback Charleston White and redshirt-sophomore safety Darius Lemora are the veterans this season after seeing significant time last year. Taliulu is a three-year starter, having started each of the last three season-openers since he arrived on campus in 2012, Lemora started 10 games and was fourth on the team with 68 tackles last year while White made seven starts, recorded a team-high 13 pass breakups, tying for second-most in the Pac-12.

RANCHO SANTA MARGARITA TAKEOVERThe Cougars have tapped into the Rancho Santa Margarita High School pipeline, currently owning four players from the school in center, Riley Sorenson, tight end Nick Begg and receivers River Cracraft and Kyle Sweet. Cracraft’s older brother Skyler is also on the team but played at a different high school.

CAREER 100-YARD GAMES POLYNESIAN PIPELINEThe Washington State roster has seen an influx in Polynesian players since Mike Leach and his coaching staff arrived in 2012. Assistant Head Coach / Defensive Line Coach Joe Salave’a, a native of Pago Pago, American Samoa and a nine-year NFL veteran, has helped bring a number of play-ers to Pullman in his three seasons at Washington State. The 2015 roster has 15 players who are of Polynesian decent including seven who list their hometown from American Samoa.

LIKE FATHER, LIKE SONThree Cougars share a unique bond with their dads and/or grandpa, each have worn the crimson a gray. Redshirt-freshman offensive lineman Andre Dillard’s dad, Mitch was an offensive lineman and tight end for the Cougars in the late 1980’s; redshirt-sophomore safety Isaac Dotson’s dad, Mi-chael was an All-American wrestler for WSU from 1983-86; redshirt-sophomore linebacker Peyton Pelluer’s dad, Scott also played linebacker for the Cougs, matching Peyton’s No. 47 from 1977-80; Peyton’s grandpa, John played end for WSU in the mid 1950’s and his great grandpa, Carl, played flanker in the 1920’s.

COOPER, MAYLE DRAFTED BY BROWNSThree Cougars moved on to the NFL following the 2014 season, both defensive end Xavier Cooper and wide receive Vince Mayle were drafted by the Cleveland Browns, in the third and fourth rounds. It was the first time WSU had multiple players drafted since 2007.

MAYLE EARNED ALL-AMERICA ACCOLADEGraduated wide receiver Vince Mayle, a fourth-round draft pick by the Cleveland Browns, received All-America honorable mention from Sports Illustrated following his record-setting 2014 season. Mayle tied for the national lead with 106 receptions and posted a Pac-12-best 1,483 yards, both WSU single-season records. The Natomas, Calif. native caught nine touchdowns, led the Pac-12 with six 100-yard games and was the only player in the country with two 250-yard games (263-Cal, 252-Arizona State), the only player in conference history to own two such games. Mayle, a Bilet-nikoff Award semifinalist, also led the Pac-12 with 123.6 yards-per-game and was third in the league in all-purpose yards-per-game (138.3).

FIVE COUGARS EARNED ALL-PAC-12 HONORS IN 2014Wideout Vince Mayle was named to the All-Pac-12 Conference Second Team and four other Cou-gars received honorable mention. Quarterback Connor Halliday, left tackle Joe Dahl, linebacker Jeremiah Allison and cornerback Daquawn Brown each received honorable mention.

PELLUER NAMED PAC-12 ALL-ACADEMIC FIRST TEAM IN 2014Linebacker Peyton Pelluer was one of two Cougars named the Pac-12 Conference All-Academic First Team, also joined by graduated linebacker Mitchell Peterson. The Cougars had five student-athletes earn All-Academic recognition last season as wideout River Cracraft, center Sam Flor and right tackle Jacob Seydel each garnered honorable mention accolades. It was the first career All-Academic honor for all five student-athletes. Washington State has had at least five players earn All-Academic accolades in each of the past three seasons. To be eligible for selection to the aca-demic team, a student-athlete must have a minimum 3.0 overall grade-point average and appear in at least 50 percent of their team’s games. Pelluer tallied 39 tackles including 5.5 tackles-for-loss while appearing in all 12 games, five as a starter. The Sammamish, Wash. native owns a 3.77 GPA and has yet to declare a major.

NEW COUGAR FOOTBALL BROADCAST TEAMHall of fame announcer Bob Robertson is in his 49th season calling Cougar football games, and according to a nation-wide survey of sports information directors, is the longest ten-ured radio announcer in the country with the next closest being Bill Hillgrove who has announced 45 straight seasons at Pitt. Robertson began calling WSU games in 1964 and with the exception of a three-year period in 1969-71, has been calling Cougar games ever since. Robertson now hosts the Cougars pre, halftime and postgame shows, while also providing analysis during the games. Matt Chazanow, a veteran of Atlantic Coast Confer-ence and Big East football and basketball broadcasts, will serve as the new play-by-play voice for Cougar football, men’s basketball and baseball broadcasts. Joining Chazanow and Robertson in the booth for his second season will be Cougar legend Jason Gesser who quarterbacked WSU to the 2001 Sun Bowl and 2003 Rose Bowl. Returning for her fourth season as the sideline reporter is Jessamyn McIntyre, an executive producer for 710 ESPN Seattle.

Mike Leach begins his fourth season at Washington State University after being named the Cougars’ head football coach, Nov. 30, 2011.

In 2014 Leach’s offense led the nation in passing at 477.7 yards per game, the second-highest total in FBS history, trailing only Houston’s 511.3 in 1989. WSU set or tied 42 school, conference or NCAA records during the season, including quarterback Connor Halliday who threw for an NCAA single-game record 734 yards against California. WSU also placed five student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams and five on All-Pac-12 teams during the season.

In 2013, Leach’s second season at the helm of the Cougars, he guided Washington State to the Gildan New Mexico Bowl, the first bowl game for the Cougars in a decade. Last season the Cougars ranked fourth in the nation in passing offense, setting a school-record at 368.00 yards per game, eclipsing the previous mark of 343.3 ypg in 1997. The Cougar offense threw for more than 400 yards five times, including a 2013 NCAA FBS–best 557 yards at Oregon. Quarterback Connor Halliday set WSU single-season records for passing yards (4,587), attempts (714) and completions (449), the first WSU quarterback to surpass the 4,000-yard mark. The Cougars picked up more national recognition as safety Deone Bucannon became WSU’s first All-America first-team selection since 2005 and was later selected as the No. 27 overall pick in NFL Draft by the Arizona Cardinals, the first Cougar taken in the first round since 2003. The Cougars also placed eight student-athletes on Pac-12 All-Academic teams during the season.

In his first season in Pullman, Leach’s high-powered offense led the Pac-12 Conference in passing, averaging 330.42 yards per game. That figure ranked ninth nationally and marked the second-highest average in school history. Seven times the Cougars threw for more than 350 yards, including the season-ending, 31-28, overtime win against Washington. In a season that produced a 3-9 overall record, the Cougars saw a bit of a youth movement as 17 freshmen played and only four seniors started regularly. Academically, nine Cougars received Pac-12 All-Academic honors while the 2012 fall semester football GPA of 2.66 marked the first time the football team had been over a 2.60 GPA for fall semester.

Leach brought a proven record of winning to Pullman. In 10 seasons as a head coach, all at Texas Tech (2000-09) his program earned 10 bowl bids. In addition, the Susanville, Calif., native who was raised in Cody, Wyo., recorded a school-record 84 victories during his tenure.

Leading the most prolific passing offense in the country, Leach received three national coach of the year awards in 2008 - the Woody Hayes Award, Howie Long/Fieldturf Coach of the Year, and George Munger Award. His offense spreads the field with his exciting brand of football and guided Texas Tech to six NCAA passing titles and three total offense titles during his 10 seasons in Lubbock. Leach’s offense produced school records in nearly every passing category in 2000, his first season with the Red Raiders, but surpassed those numbers in each of his next nine seasons.

During Leach’s time in Lubbock, Texas, the Red Raiders increased their yards per game by more than 150 and averaged nearly 20 points more per outing. In the passing game, Texas Tech threw for about 300 yards more per game in the decade Leach was at the helm.

Leach led Texas Tech to one of the most memorable seasons in school history in 2008 as the team set a program record with 11 regular-season wins en route to an 11-2 record. The win total tied the mark, set previously by the 1953 and 1973 Red Raider squads. Numerous accolades poured in from across the country as an unprecedented four players earned first-team All-America status, in addition to Leach’s three coach of the year honors. Quarterback Graham Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered first-team honors, while wide receiver Michael Crabtree was honored as a unanimous consensus All-American for the second-straight season.

On the field in 2008, the Red Raiders led the nation in passing for the sixth time in Leach’s ten seasons and ranked among the top five in total offense. Harrell finished his storied career second on the NCAA career passing yardage list with 15,793 yards. Harrell also broke the career NCAA passing touchdowns mark with 134.

The Texas Tech program has established itself as one of the nation’s leading producers of productive quarterbacks since the 2000 season. Harrell threw for 4,555 yards in his debut as the starter in 2006 and became the sixth player and third Red Raider in NCAA history to throw for 5,000 yards in a season with his 5,705-yard effort in 2007 and 5,111 yards last season. He also is the third quarterback under Leach to win nine games in a season and the first Red Raider in history to win 11 in a regular season. Former quarterback Kliff Kingsbury in 2002 and Cody Hodges in 2005 each posted nine-win seasons during their careers, while 2003 and 2004 signal callers B.J. Symons and Sonny Cumbie each won eight games in their respective seasons as the starter.

The Red Raiders improved their total offensive numbers from 324.8 yards per game to 531.0 yards per game since Leach’s arrival. Leach’s first nine seasons at Tech rank as the top nine all-time in total offense, while scoring went from 23 points per game in 1999 to a school-record 43.8 points in 2008. The most significant increase was in the passing game, where the Red Raiders averaged 475.3 yards per game in 2008 compared to 175.4 yards in 1999.

The running game flourished under Leach as well. Former Red Raider Taurean Henderson holds the NCAA career record for receptions by a running back. The Red Raiders’ 28 total rushing scores in 2008 were the most for a Tech team since the 1993 team scored 30. Despite Tech’s

COACHING CAREER

EDUCATION

offense revolving around the pass, Leach did a tremendous job of incorporating the running back position into the mix. Henderson finished his career with 303 receptions, which ranks first in NCAA history among running backs and fourth overall.

The Red Raiders were not known solely for their play on the scoring side of the ball. The Texas Tech defense also flourished during Leach’s 10 seasons. Texas Tech held opponents without an offensive touchdown a dozen times under Leach, including seven shutouts. Three of the whitewashes came in 2000 when the Red Raiders tied for the national lead.

The play of the special teams also improved with each season. Former placekicker Alex Trlica holds the NCAA record with 233 career extra points and another record for extra points made without a miss. He finished with 377 career points, which ranks among the top 10 in NCAA history among kickers. While leading the Red Raiders to 76 wins in his nine seasons, Leach is the only coach in school history to lead ten teams to bowl games.

Although Leach’s presence was felt throughout the team, it also was beneficial for the players individually. In addition to picking up the Sammy Baugh Trophy in 2007, Harrell was the recipient of the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame’s Post-Graduate Scholarship and was one of 15 players selected as a candidate for the prestigious Draddy Award, the academic Heisman. Harrell also ranked fourth in the 2008 Heisman voting, while Crabtree was fifth. Symons was the second Tech quarterback to receive The Touchdown Club of Columbus’ Sammy Baugh Trophy (Kingsbury in 2002).

Kingsbury, a 2002 All-Big 12 first-team quarterback and sixth-round draft pick of the New England Patriots, led the Big 12 Conference in several passing categories during his final three seasons and was a Heisman Trophy candidate in 2002. He also was named the Verizon Academic All-American of the Year for football and was awarded an $18,000 postgraduate scholarship by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame.

In 2004, inside receiver Trey Haverty became Tech’s first Associated Press All-American since Montae Reagor in 1998, when he was selected to the third team. Free safety Dwayne Slay earned first-team All-America honors from Sports Illustrated in 2005, marking the first in seven seasons. Slay was one of the country’s most punishing tacklers that year and led the conference and finished second nationally with eight forced fumbles.

Leach has coached several players who have gone on to the NFL. While at Tech, 18 players have been drafted and 21 others have signed free agent contracts. In the spring of 2009, four players were selected among the first four rounds of the NFL Draft, marking the most successful draft for Texas Tech in the Leach era. Crabtree became the highest draft pick at No. 10, since Gabe Rivera in 1983. Crabtree, selected by the San Francisco 49ers, is the highest drafted Tech receiver since Dave Parks went No. 1 overall in 1964.

Safety Darcel McBath was selected by the Denver Broncos in the second round, while offensive lineman Louis Vasquez was taken in the third by San Diego. Defensive end Brandon Williams went to the Dallas Cowboys in the fourth.

The program made strides academically as well under Leach. During his 10 years, Tech was recognized as one of the nation’s top institutions for consistently being above a 70 percent graduation rate, according to the American Football Coaches

Association. Prior to coming on board at Texas Tech, Leach, in just one season at Oklahoma,

directed a Sooner offense that went from one of the worst in the Big 12 Conference to one of the best. Under Leach’s tutelage, Josh Heupel was named 1999 Big 12 Offensive Newcomer of the Year. For his efforts, Leach was nominated for the 1999 Broyles Award as the top assistant coach in the country.

Leach guided an Oklahoma offense that went from 11th in the Big 12 in 1998 to first in 1999 and 101st in the nation to 11th. In just one year, OU’s total offense numbers improved from 293.3 to 427.2 yards per game.

The rise in passing and scoring offense categories is just as impressive. Oklahoma went from last to first in the Big 12 in passing offense in one year, from 107th in the country to ninth. Under Leach, the Sooners improved from 109.9 yards passing per game to 321.7 yards per game.

In 1998, Oklahoma was last in the Big 12 and 101st in the country in scoring offense at 16.7 points per game. In 1999, the Sooners improved to second in the league and eighth in the country in scoring at 36.8 points per game, an increase of just over 20 points per game.

Under Leach, the Oklahoma offense set six Big 12 Conference and 17 OU records. The Sooners were one of only two schools in the nation to have six players with 20 or more receptions in 1999.

Prior to joining Bob Stoops’ Oklahoma staff, Leach served as offensive coordinator for Hal Mumme at the University of Kentucky and Valdosta (Ga.) State University. For two years at Kentucky under Mumme, Leach coached the Kentucky “Air Raid” offense that was one of the most explosive in Southeastern Conference history. Under Mumme and Leach, the Kentucky offense set six NCAA records, 41 Southeastern Conference records and 116 school records in 22 games.

Leach’s Kentucky offense featured the talented Tim Couch, who passed for 4,275 yards and 34 touchdowns as a senior and was the top pick of the 1999 NFL Draft.

Named 1996 Division II Offensive Coordinator of the Year by American Football Quarterly magazine, Leach helped Mumme lead Valdosta State to a 40-17-1 record. The 1993 Blazer offense smashed 66 school records, 22 conference records and seven national records. In 1994, Valdosta State advanced to the Division II playoffs with Leach’s offense shattering 80 school records, 35 conference records and seven more national marks.

Leach and Mumme first teamed up at Iowa Wesleyan College in 1989. From 1989 to 1991 Leach served as offensive coordinator and line coach for an offense that led the NAIA in passing yardage one season and finished second the other two. Iowa Wesleyan quarterbacks passed for more than 11,000 yards in Leach’s three seasons and broke 26 national records.

Leach also has made coaching stops in Pori, Finland, where he served as a head coach in the European Football League (1989), as well as one-year stints at College of the Desert (1988) and Cal Poly-San Luis Obispo (1987).

After graduating with honors from BYU in 1983, Leach earned a master’s degree from the U.S. Sports Academy and his law degree from Pepperdine University, where he graduated in the top one-third of his class.

The oldest of six siblings, Leach and his wife, Sharon, are the parents of four children; Janeen, Kim, Cody and Kiersten.
