- WR: I shyyt you negative, Rogers has a WR named Hands Warick VI 5 catches and TD last night vs East Valley

- Injury: PULLMAN -- It might not be this weekend, but a return for Washington State tight end Trey Leckner is getting closer to a return by the day.

- Ahead of Washington State's 2026 Arizona game, Kirby Moore says tight end Trey Leckner is getting close and moving around quite a bit in practice, with availability now described as game to game. The writer's suggestion of a return within a week or two is not a coach-confirmed date, and Moore does not clear him for Saturday. - In Washington State's Thursday 2026 Arizona-week remarks, Kirby Moore credits Jamarey Smith with flexibility at nickel and corner, offseason safety reps and improved communication. This describes Smith's existing versatility and development, not a new position switch, a starting assignment or a fixed secondary rotation. - Washington State's Kirby Moore wants more first- and second-down explosives during 2026 Arizona-week preparation and says Tank Hawkins must be a major part of that effort. He points to Hawkins' growing comfort as a route runner and demonstrated ball-in-hand and downfield ability. This is a stated involvement priority, not a promised target or snap count. - Washington State coach Kirby Moore says Jack Stevens made a field goal from about 45 or 50 yards in Wednesday's two-minute practice situation before the 2026 Arizona game. That is a specific practice result, with the distance recalled approximately; it is not a game kick, a newly established range or a guarantee that his kicking problems are resolved.

- Injury: TITLE: WSU receiver went from national champion to ‘worst thing that ever happened to me URL: Its a nice read, but I wish they had a little more about Pullman and WSU in it.

- QB: Opens up threats for the defense to worry about

- PULLMAN -- It doesn't matter the opponent. - When a trio of running backs rush for 248 yards and two of the backs eclipse 100 yards, it means you had a good day at the office. - Maxwell Woods carried for 116 yards in Washington State's win over Duquesne, Kirby Vorhees checked in with 109 and Leo Pulalasi had 22, as Wazzu ran wild on the Dukes in the 48-7...

- OL/LB: I honestly believe if a person bet a $100 straight up against WSU for the remaining ten games they play this season that person would come out ahead.

- OL: Beatty made sure they had the right mindset coming out of half.

- Against Duquesne, Washington State's Jalil Tucker dressed but did not play, leaving Smith outside with the returning Terrell. Jack Bal played some nickel, while Kyle Peterson and Trey Ridley took more safety snaps behind Jeremiah Bernard and Jaylen Thomas. Jshawn Frausto-Ramos was out of the rotation. These are game participation findings, not a new injury diagnosis or next-game clearance. - The Washington State review says Northcroft entered before Dees and played a few more snaps against Duquesne. This is actual receiver usage after Northcroft's earlier move into the two-deep, not a confirmed permanent promotion or an invented numerical snap total; the supplied article does not include the underlying snap-count tables. - The post-Duquesne review says Ellison appears to have moved ahead of Nylan Brown as Washington State's No. 4 linebacker. This is the writer's assessment of the current rotation, not an official revised depth chart, an injury explanation or a guarantee of future playing time.

- OL: The best case scenario would be for the OL to be good enough for all 3 to get as many carries as they can handle.

- OL: The offensive line is obviously not good enough to run either slow developing plays or straight power running plays.

- QB/OL: The only thing I’m optimistic about going forward for the next game is that maybe the half time OL shuffle sticks and proves to be the answer.

- OL: Starting 2nd half OL: "WSU’s offensive line featured left tackle Ashton Tripp, left guard Jonny Lester, center Noah Dunham, right guard Nick Bakken and right tackle Jaylin Caldwell.

- OL: Wowser, I just saw a picture of an absolutely perfect TD run on a punt return by Jaylen Thomas in today's Seattle Times that should be scarfed up by WSU Athletics and plastered all...

- Pick/market: Jamey here with the thoughts from the weekend.

- QB: Anybody else notice that pinnick got shoved out and not a single guy tried on our sideline tried to stop his momentum.

- OL: I’m starting to think the same thing.

- Pick/market: Maxwell Woods was one of very few bright spots in the first half (Photo: Cougfan.com/Whittney Thornton) PULLMAN -- The hope that Washington State would come out and simply steamroll Duquesne has turned out to...

- Pick/market: PULLMAN -- Tempo.

- QB: If you’re going to be a gun-slinging, throw-into-double-coverage QB, you have to have a big arm.

- Offense: Still Curr AT LEAST we did what we are supposed to do.

- In the supplied halftime report, Washington State led Duquesne 14-7 after an opening snap over Caden Pinnick's head and an interception on the next play. Two touchdowns on another drive were erased by penalties, and Jack Stevens pushed a field goal wide right, described as his fourth miss of the 2026 season. These are first-half events, not final-game totals. - The halftime writer criticized Washington State's late-half offensive approach: with 1:37 remaining it ran three times, then sought more points after getting a first down. The writer saw indecision and limited confidence in the offense; this was an interpretation of that sequence, not an announced change in play-calling. - At halftime, Washington State had allowed 5.9 yards per rush, including the 54-yard run setting up Duquesne's touchdown. The writer faulted tackling, edge discipline and light boxes. WSU had two tackles for loss, a Brown-Wedel split and a Matyus McLain solo, and the report said it had yet to record a sack in 2026 at that point. - Washington State's first-half backfield production included Maxwell Woods' five carries for 63 yards, with a 45-yard Wildcat run, plus three catches for 20 yards. Kirby Vorhees had six carries for 48 yards at the break. Those are the halftime workload and formation details, not the players' final statistics or a new backfield ranking.

- Washington State's passing game produced 196 yards and two touchdowns on Caden Pinnick's 17-of-22 day in a 48-7 win over Duquesne; he also ran 12 times for 76 yards and a touchdown. His third-quarter TD passes went to Jack Pedersen and Branden Ganashamoorthy, who finished with four catches for 67 yards. - Washington State's rushing offense got 109 yards and two touchdowns on nine Kirby Vorhees carries, including a 58-yard score, and 116 yards on 11 Maxwell Woods carries. Woods also caught three passes for 20 yards. The offense scored touchdowns on all three third-quarter possessions. - Washington State's defense allowed a 54-yard run that set up Duquesne's first-quarter touchdown, then shut out Duquesne for the rest of the game. Duquesne went 0-for-3 on second-quarter third downs and punted on all four fourth-quarter possessions as the Cougars scored 41 unanswered points. - Washington State used two punt returners to produce fourth-quarter touchdowns: Jaylen Thomas scored on a 47-yard return and Tank Hawkins on a 65-yard return. Those returns supplied all of Washington State's fourth-quarter scoring; the report does not announce a change in their return roles.

- RB: Once again, I am 100% confident that our offense would be better off if every single play was either a handoff to the RB or rolling Duggar out, having him make 1 read, and...

- RB/LB: At this point all I am wondering is when the coaches will come to the same conclusion.
