At the risk of running into himself a few-dozen times on the trick-or-treat trail, Washington State quarterback Gardner Minshew might want to stay in this Halloween. It appears the country’s leading passer has overtaken his head coach, Mike Leach, as the most popular costume in Pullman this Halloween and Cougar fans throughout the state have tried to duplicate Minshew’s look – fake mustaches, aviator shades, headbands and all.

We browsed through Twitter and picked out some of our favorite Minshew costumes. Don’t see yours on the list? Tweet a photo to @TheoLawson_SR and we’ll get you on there.
