Favorite Class Taken at WSU and why: Psychology, because it was so interesting to hear about all that goes into understanding why we behave certain ways.
The course provides a broad overview of the terms, processes, principles and
theories related to the scientific study of behavior and mental processes.
Future Plans: Following football would like to be a coach and counselor, working
with kids

is Human Development 101. Students are introduced to human development concepts, issues
and theory spanning early childhood through
aging and death with emphasis on interrelationships between individuals, families, schools,
communities and culture. There is a virtual component to the class, with students participating
in an interactive online simulation in which they
raise a virtual child to the age of 18. The second,
separate simulation makes life choices based
upon their own lives, resulting in seeing life outcomes of their virtual self.
The course includes weekly quizzes, 12 critical
thinking activities, in-class activities and a semester-ending final group project.
This years Cougar football team has many links to former Washington State
student-athletes running through their families. This week, we will focus on
Isaac Dotsons father, Michael, a former WSU wrestler.

TAYLOR TALIULU
Senior
Senior safety Taylor Taliulu spent his summer doing all the normal activities of a Cougar football
player: conditioning, lifting, attending summer
school. He also added video producer to his plate
as the senior from Aiea, Hawaii interned in the
WSU Athletic department, focusing on content. He
put together a four-part series called The Grind,
(www.youtube.com/watch?v=jutORjRhMt8), detailing WSUs off-season, including workouts and
team-bonding activities. In addition to his video
work, Taliulu also wrote and recorded pumpup music that is played during games at Martin
Stadium. As if he is not busy enough, Taliulu also
has a clothing-design project called Verified, with
t-shirts worn by teammates off the field that he
hopes to expand when time allows. Following
football, Taliulu plans to pursue all three areas,
music, video, design, and he already has a leg up
on the competition.

A pair of Samoans on WSUs football team also have a history playing the other
futbol. Junior Shalom Luani and sophomore Frankie Luvu have both represented
their country in international soccer competitions. Luani, who made the national
team as a senior in high school, also scored a goal in a World Cup first-round
qualifying game in 2012 in American Samoas first official victory in international
soccer. Luvu was a member of the American Samoa U-17 team as a midfielder.
Nickle back Isaac Dotson has spent the past few seasons teaming with another
defensive back Taylor Taliulu, making music. Dotson lays down the beats and the
duo has been featured by the Pac-12 Networks on Pac-12 Profiles, where they
produced the music and lyrics for the piece.

Sept. 12, 2015 High Point Solutions Stadium Att.: 46,536 TV: ESPNU
PULLMAN, Wash. Portland State of the FCS upset Washington State 24-17 in a driving rainstorm that hampered
WSUs high-flying offense. Portland State scored all 24 of its points in the second half, and won despite being outgained 411 yards to 294 yards. It was the first time Portland State beat a Pacific-12 team in 15 tries, and lifted their record to 3-32 against FBS teams. It was Washington States first loss to an FCS team in 20 outings. Steven Long scored
on a 1-yard run with just over 2 minutes left in the game to lift Portland State to the upset. The rain and unseasonably
chilly temperatures stymied Washington States passing game under quarterback Luke Falk, who this year replaced
national passing leader Connor Halliday. But Portland State had the stronger ground attack, out-rushing Washington
State 233 yards to 104 yards. Portland State quarterback Alex Kuresa completed just 7 of 12 passes for 61 yards,
but led all rushers with 92 yards on 16 carries in the opener for both teams. Falk completed 27 of 41 passes for 289
yards with two touchdowns for WSU. He left the game in the closing minutes with an undisclosed injury. Washington
States opening drive stalled on Portland States 4-yard line, and the Cougars settled for Erik Powells 21-yard field
goal and a 3-0 lead. The Cougars had a bizarre drive on their second possession, moving forward and back over 90
yards because of penalties, and converting three fourth-down plays, before Powells 22-yard field goal attempt was
blocked by Aaron Sibley. Washington States first touchdown came on a screen pass from Falk to Keith Harrington,
which the freshman running back turned into a 24-yard gain that gave the Cougars a 10-0 lead midway through the
second quarter. That lead stood at halftime, as the Cougars outgained Portland State 274 yards to 66 yards in the first
half. Portland State came out strong in the third quarter, driving 75 yards with Paris Penn scoring on a 4-yard rush
to cut Washington States lead to 10-7. On Portland States next possession, Jonathan Gonzales kicked a 42-yard
field goal to tie the score at 10 with 4:37 left in the third. Washington State turned the ball over on downs on its next
possession, with Portland State taking over on its own 28. The Vikings were forced to punt, but WSUs Kyrin Priester
fumbled the catch and Portland State recovered on WSUs 11. Nate Tago pounded over from the 8 to give Portland
State a 17-10 lead with 13:06 left. Tavares Martin returned the ensuing kickoff to Portland States 46, aided by a facemask penalty against the Vikings. Gabe Marks caught a 5-yard touchdown pass from Falk to tie the score at 17 with
9:11 left. Kuresa led Portland State on a 14-play, 69-yard drive that consumed nearly 7 minutes, with Long rushing from
the 1-yard line to lift Portland State to a 24-17 lead with 2:19 left. Sibley intercepted a pass from WSUs Peyton Bender
with 42 seconds left to seal the win.
PISCATAWAY, N.J. Luke Falk led a 10-play, 90-yard touchdown drive, finding River Cracraft with an eight-yard strike
with :13 left to lift Washington State past Rutgers, 37-34. Falk threw for 468 yards and four touchdowns. While Janarion
Grant tried to be the hero for Rutgers, returning two kicks for touchdowns, he couldnt return the final kickoff for a
touchdown. The ball was kicked to Leonte Carroo and Rutgers tried to do their Stanford vs. California impression,
before the ball was thrown forward after several laterals. Grant had the best game of his collegiate career, returning
a kickoff and a punt for late touchdowns. With Rutgers trailing 30-27 with 1:45 left, Grant returned a punt 55-yards for
a touchdown to give Rutgers the 34-30 lead. The playmaker returned a kickoff 100 yards to give Rutgers its first lead of
the game, 27-23 and finished a school record 339 total yards. Washington State answered Grants 100-yard return with
an eight play, 82-yard drive in 2:59. Falk hit Gabe Marks, who made a dazzling 23-yard touchdown catch. On its next
two drives Rutgers negated two touchdowns with penalties. Rutgers running back Josh Hicks fumbled on the ensuing
drive after catching a screen pass and Isaac Dotson recovered for the Cougars. That came one play after a 21-yard
touchdown was negated on a holding penalty on Chris Muller. The Scarlet Knights defense stopped Washington State
on fourth down with 6:10 left, but Justin Goodwins offensive pass interference penalty negated a 29-yard touchdown
catch by Grant. The high-scoring second half came after just one touchdown in the first. Trailing 13-6 and after leading a 52-yard drive to start the second half, Chris Laviano, making his first career start, fumbled near the sideline,
recovered on the 40-yard by defensive tackle Destiny Vaeao. Laviano finished with 204 yards, going 23-of-29 with one
touchdown and an interception. Falk then led a 64-yard touchdown drive with a 7-play drive. Keith Harrington caught
a 5-yard swing pass to make it 20-6 midway through the third quarter. Rutgers answered with a 73-yard touchdown
drive that included a fourth-and-five conversion on a 20-yard pitch and catch from Laviano to Grant. Robert Martin
ended the drive with a 15-yard touchdown run before Washington State blocked the extra point, leaving Rutgers down
20-12. Rutgers stopped Washington State on fourth-and-three with 2:27 left in the third quarter, then embarked on a
68-yard, 7-play drive capped by a 1-yard toss to Matt Flanagan. Carroo caught the two-point conversion to knot it at
20. Falk completed his first 13 passes of the game against Rutgers depleted secondary. Four defensive backs were
dismissed from the team 10 minutes before the season opener last week. Washington States Erik Powell hit field
goals from 46- and 47-yards in the second quarter as Falk went 24-of-29 for 201-yards in the first half.

PULLMAN, Wash. Luke Falk threw for 303 yards and two touchdowns and ran for another as Washington State beat
Wyoming 31-14. Dom Williams caught two scoring passes for Washington State (2-1), which had not won a game in
Pullman since beating Portland State last September. The Cougars had not beaten an FBS opponent at home since
2013. Brian Hill ran for 139 yards for Wyoming (0-3), who came in as a 24-point underdog. Cowboys quarterback Cameron Coffman, who missed last weeks game with an injured knee, completed 25 of 36 passes for 296 yards, with two
touchdowns and an interception. Falk completed 37 of 45 passes and was intercepted once. Wyoming outgained the
Cougars 409 yards to 378. Wyoming scored on a 45-yard touchdown pass from Coffman to Tanner Gentry on the first
possession of the game. Coffman had been intercepted the play before, but the pick was negated by a hand-in-face
penalty against WSUs Hercules Mataafa, giving the Cowboys new life. Washington State tied the game on Falks
1-yard run late in the first quarter, capping a 44-yard drive that began with Wyoming punting out of its own end zone.
Wyoming took possession on its own 37 on the ensuing series and ran the ball six straight times, down to the WSU
5. Then Coffman fired a touchdown pass to Jake Maulhardt for a 14-7 lead. Washington State replied with a 70-yard
drive, with Falk passing 35 yards to Williams in the end zone to tie the game at 14-14. Tristan Bailey missed a 38-yard
field goal attempt on Wyomings next possession. Washington State took over on its 21 and grabbed its first lead of the
game when Keith Harrington ran 36 yards into the end zone for a 21-14 advantage they never relinquished. Harrington
ran or caught the ball on six of the nine plays. Washington States defense held Wyoming scoreless in the second half.
Falk was picked off early in the third by Marcus Epps, giving Wyoming the ball on its 49. But the Cowboys drive
stalled and they turned the ball over on downs. Washington State returned the favor, as Harrington was stopped on
fourth-and-1 and Wyoming got the ball back on the WSU 40. Wyoming couldnt move the ball and had to punt. Early
in the fourth, Gentry fumbled after catching the ball and Mataafa recovered, giving Washington State possession at
midfield. A targeting call against Wyoming cornerback Robert Priester on receiver River Cracraft got Priester ejected
from the game and put WSU on the Wyoming 24. The Cougars drove to the 4, but had to settle for Erik Powells 22-yard
field goal and a 24-14 lead. Falk added a touchdown pass to Williams late in the game.
BERKELEY, Calif. Jared Goff got off to a shaky start and still threw for 390 yards and four touchdowns to lead No.
24 California to a 34-28 victory over Washington State. Goff threw an early interception and was off target on a few
throws before finding his groove. He threw two TD passes in a span of less than 2 minutes late in the third quarter
surrounding a successful onside kick to erase an eight-point deficit and lead the Bears (5-0, 2-0 Pac-12) to their best
start since 2007. Luke Falk threw two touchdown passes and ran for another score for the Cougars (2-2, 0-1), who
have lost 28 of their past 28 games against ranked opponents. Washington State was in position to reverse that trend
after Falk threw a 4-yard TD pass to Gabe Marks midway through the third quarter and Kenny Lawler lost a fumble
on Cals ensuing possession. Stefan McClure then changed the tide on a safety blitz that gave Cal one of its seven
sacks on the day. Erik Powell then missed a 40-yard field goal wide right and Goff took over from there. He drove Cal
77 yards to a score on a 20-yard touchdown pass to Kenny Lawler that made it 28-26. McClures sack was one of two
momentum-changing plays he made in the quarter. Washington State tried a fake punt on the opening drive of the
quarter only to have punter Zach Charme fumble. McClure scooped up the ball and ran 45 yards for the touchdown.
Cal needed another big play from its defense after the Bears were stopped on fourth down at the Cougars 38 with 4:38
to go. Damariay Drew delivered with an interception and Goff converted two third downs to run out all but the final
12 seconds of the game. After winning just six games in coach Sonny Dykes first two seasons, Cal has matched its
best start since 1950 in Dykes third year. The Bears need just one more win to be bowl eligible for the first time since
2011 and are in position to contend in the Pac-12 North. But the schedule gets much tougher from here with road
games against No. 10 Utah and No. 7 UCLA, followed by a home game against No. 17 Southern California and a trip to
Oregon. Cal was stopped twice on fourth down in the first half and Goff threw an interception on the third play from
scrimmage as Washington State broke out to a 21-7 lead. Goff then threw his first of two TD passes to Lawler late in
the second quarter to start the comeback.

EUGENE, Ore. Luke Falk threw for season-high 505 yards and five touchdowns, including an unusual scoring pass
in the second overtime, and Washington State snapped an eight-game losing streak to Oregon with a 45-38 victory
in overtime over the Ducks. Knotted at 38, an unnecessary roughness foul on the Ducks helped the Cougars in the
second OT, and then Falk appeared to hit River Cracraft with a pass that landed in the hands of Robert Lewis for a
4-yard touchdown. The play withstood review, and Oregons subsequent drive ended in an interception - sending the
Cougars rushing onto the field in celebration. Falk had marched Washington State (3-2, 1-1 Pac-12) downfield in the
final two minutes of regulation, capping the drive with an 8-yard pass to tie the game at 31 and send it to overtime.
Jeff Lockie hit Bralon Addison with a 9-yard touchdown pass for the Ducks (3-3, 1-2) on the opening possession of the
extra period. The Cougars answered with Falks close 1-yard keeper that withstood a review that again tied the score.
Royce Freeman ran for a career-high 246 yards and two touchdowns, and also caught a TD pass, for Oregon. Both
Lockie and Taylor Alie have rotated. Lockie shouldered most of the load, throwing for 123 yards and two touchdowns.
Both QBs leaned on Freeman, just as they had in last weeks 41-24 victory at Colorado when he ran for 163 yards and
two scores. Freeman ran for 135 yards and a touchdown against Washington State in the first half alone. Falk threw
a 7-yard touchdown pass to Gabe Marks on Washington States first series of the game. Marks has been seeing a lot
of action in coach Mike Leachs offense, going into the game with an average of 91 yards receiving per game, and
leading the Pac-12 with an average of 8.3 catches per game. He finished with eight catches for 111 yards against the
Ducks. Oregon was ranked 114th in the nation for passing yards allowed going into the game, allowing an average of
287.2 yards a game. But the Ducks attempted to switch things up against the Cougars, playing wide receiver Charles
Nelson at safety at times. It was the sophomores first career appearance on defense, although he played at safety
during the Spring Game. Nelson also played at receiver and on special teams during the game. Oregons initial drive
ended with a 26-yard field goal from Aidan Schneider. Oregon switched to Alie midway through its second series, and
he ran 8 yards for a touchdown to give Oregon a 9-3 lead. After Freemans 2-yard touchdown run, Falk hit Marks again
with a 4-yard scoring pass just before the break to cut Oregons margin to 17-14 at halftime. Falk gave the Cougars a
21-17 lead early in the third quarter with a 27-yard touchdown pass to Tavares Martin Jr. But Freeman caught a 17year scoring pass from Lockie that put the Ducks back in front 24-21. He added a 1-yard scoring run early in the fourth
quarter. Erik Powell added a 22-yard field goal for the Cougars before Falks game-tying drive.

Mike
LEACH
Head Coach
4th Year
Mike Leach is in his fourth season at Washington State University after being named the
Cougars head football coach, Nov. 30, 2011.
In 2014 Leachs offense led the nation in passing at 477.7 yards per game, the second-highest
total in FBS history, trailing only Houstons 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 Pac12 All-Academic teams and five on All-Pac-12 teams during the season.
In 2013, Leachs 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 FBSbest 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 WSUs first All-America firstteam 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, Leachs 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. Leachs 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 Leachs 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 AllAmerica status, in addition to Leachs three coach of the year honors. Quarterback Graham
Harrell, offensive tackle Rylan Reed and offensive guard Brandon Carter each garnered firstteam 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 Leachs 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 nations 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 Leachs arrival. Leachs first nine seasons at Tech rank as the top nine alltime 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 Techs

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 Leachs 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 Leachs 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 Fames 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 Techs first Associated Press AllAmerican 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 countrys 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 nations 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 Leachs 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, OUs 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.
Leachs 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
Leachs 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 Leachs 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 masters 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.
