Gabe Marks: Luke Falk is “The Messiah of the Palouse”

Gabe Marks held court at Pac-12 Media Days, and made sure to show a little love to his quarterback.

“I call him the ‘Messiah of the Palouse,’ and also the ‘CEO of Washington State football,’ because he runs the show,” Marks said. Leach gets a lot of credit and he should, because he’s Mike Leach, but Luke is the reason this started working. You know what I mean? Without a quarterback that people follow, and that’s a leader, you can’t win. Especially this offense. We throw the ball so much, if hte quarterback’s not a leader you’ve got receivers leading the offense. That can’t work, you know what I mean? We’re assistants. We’re managers. We’re not the CEO. He’s the CEO. I just want to score touchdowns on TV.”

Marks said a lot of interesting things during his time on the podium. Here’s a video where you can watch him speak.
