Defensive line dominates WSU scrimmage
Sat., April 7, 2012
PULLMAN – The story of Saturday’s scrimmage may have been the blades of turf clinging to the jerseys of Washington State’s offensive linemen.
For the Cougars under coach Mike Leach, there’s practice, and then there’s the 15 or so minutes after practice during which players break off into their position groups and receive a little extra instruction based off their performance that day.
And after WSU’s defensive linemen racked up 12 sacks during Saturday’s 115-play scrimmage, the O-linemen were treated to some bear crawls before being collectively “rolled” – a drill for which Leach has become famous that involves a player simply rolling down the field on his side. It doesn’t look particularly fun.
