PULLMAN,
Wash. (AP) — In a story Aug. 9 about Washington State University being short of
dorm rooms, The Associated Press reported erroneously that the school is short
of rooms for incoming freshmen. The school has enough room for freshmen, but is
short of rooms for upperclassmen.
A
corrected version of the story is below:

PULLMAN,

Gardner Minshew lights up when talking
about Coug RB Max Borghi
Cougfan.com
PULLMAN – As a
veteran, Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew has seen a lot of players
during his college football career. When asked about the future of freshman
running back Max Borghi, the quarterback lit up.
"Max is going to be so good," Minshew said.
During the first scrimmage of the fall on Friday night in Martin
Stadium, Minshew seemed to count on Borghi when it came to finding an escape
valve on pass plays, hitting him three times during one drive.
"He can catch the ball," Minshew said. "He can
run the ball. He runs hards and he's also one of the fastest guys on our
team."
WSU SCRIMMAGE: Gardner Minshew takes big
step in QB battle
By BRIAN STULTZSat Aug 11 2018

PULLMAN – Garnder
Minshew took advantage of the first scrimmage of fall camp and made his case
for why he should be the front-runner in the Cougs quarterback race. He
completed 7-of-8 passes on his first drive, easily leading the offense down the
field before finding wide receiver Brandon Arconado for a touchdown over the
middle.
"I thought he (Minshew) had the best scrimmage," Mike
Leach said. "I thought Gardner looked real sharp. He missed some balls
down there (around the goal line) but other than that I thought he threw pretty
well."
The second drive for Minshew wasn't as head turning as the
first, but he still looked in control at all times, finishing 5-of-8 on the
drive including finding freshman running back Max Borghi out of the backfield a
number of times.
Minshew finished the night 11-of-15 for 115 yards with 2
touchdowns and no interceptions.
"We brought the energy I feel like on both of those
drives," Minshew said. "I had guys make plays on both of those
drives."
Leach indicated he will cut down the quarterback competition to
two this coming week between Minshew, Trey Tinsley and Anthony Gordon.
After struggling on his first drive on Friday night, Tinsley
looked more calm and collected on the second one, completing 8-of-10 passes
including a nice 30-yard route down the middle of the field to Arconado. He
finished the night with a perfect corner route in the end zone that was brought
in by Easop Winston Jr. Overall, Tinsley completed 12 of 19 passes for 105
yards, with two touchdowns against one interception.
Gordon had an off night, completing just 4 of 14 passes for 25
yards. Leach was quick to say after the scrimmage Gordon had a tough outing,
but has had a really good fall camp.
DEFENSIVELY, THE D-LINE DUO of
defensive end Will Rodgers III and RUSH linebacker Will Taylor III were the
stars of the evening.
Taylor broke up two passes and had 1 1/2 sacks while Rodgers
provided pressure in the backfield.
Overall, the defense recorded six sacks and two interceptions –
one by cornerback Armani Marsh on a tipped ball and one by linebacker Dominick
Silvels.
Defensive coordinator Tracy Claeys credited the work ethic of
both Rodgers and Taylor.
"All that goes back to they had great summer
workouts," Claeys said.
More observations from the first scrimmage:
·
True freshman QB Cammon Cooper was also given two series, going
7-for-14 for 64 yards and one interception.

passes on three receptions, totaling 57 yards.
