Gritty QB Luke Falk has Washington St aiming for bowl bid
Falk is a big part of the reason that Washington State (4-2, 2-1 Pac-12) is on track for a possible bowl game and hanging tough in the Pac-12.
Falk, a sophomore in his first season as a starter, has thrown for 2,371 yards and 21 touchdowns this season with just four interceptions.
Last weekend, he tied the school record with six touchdown passes — all in the first half — in the 52-31 demolition of Oregon State.
In three starts and portions of three other games, the freshman threw for 1,859 yards, with 13 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
"Since we haven't beaten those guys for a while meant a lot to the fan base," Falk said.
Falk appears to buy into Leach's mantra of focusing only on the next play and not looking down the road at things like bowl games.
First up is a game at Arizona this Saturday, followed by a Halloween showdown with No. 10 Stanford in Pullman.
