The pads come on today

We're a third of the way through Washington State's fall camp in Lewiston and the expectation is that the Cougars will be fully suited up for the first time today. Let's take a look at yesterday's WSU news, as well as what's going on around the conference.

Yesterday was probably the hottest day of camp so far with temperatures just a line of sweat under triple digits. That heat plus the daily grind of camp may have started to wear on the Cougars ... That being said, Gerard Wicks certainly hasn't seemed too fatigued ... CougCenter gives examples of how Mike Leach could spend his new dough in Pullman ... Last year injuries took a toll and now California is already losing players ... It didn't take Oregon long to find its next star running back ... UCLA's Marcus Rios has returned after two years away from football ... Washington's Kasen Williams is ready to go ... Oregon State is envisioning life without Scott Chrichton ... A pair of Utah speedsters want to finish their career in style ... Here's a shock: Ty Montgomery is doing well in camp.
