WSU coach Wulff likes what he sees at intrasquad scrimmage

With the starting quarterback position still open, senior Kevin Lopina did all he could to earn the nod. Splitting time between the ones and twos with sophomore Marshall Lobbestael, Lopina completed all six of his passes for 94 yards. He also accounted for the lone touchdown, teaming with tight end Zach Tatman for a 22-yard completion down the middle.

PULLMAN — Like a coin, there are always two sides to an intrasquad scrimmage.

But as far as Washington State football coach Paul Wulff could see Saturday, everything was coming up heads.

"After eight practices, pretty clean in a lot of ways," said Wulff of his team's 60-play scrimmage played under clear skies in Martin Stadium. "Our defense forced some turnovers, which is good to see, but on the flip side our offense fumbled it. ... There were some plays made in the run and passing game."

Lobbestael was 4 of 7 for 32 yards — though one throw was dropped.

"I felt good," Lopina said. "I felt healthy. ... I felt like I performed pretty well."

Lopina was quick to praise the offensive line, which gave him and Lobbestael plenty of time on most passing plays. They also got off the ball well enough for the top three running backs — Dwight Tardy, James Montgomery and Logwone Mitz — to combine for 69 yards on 14 carries.
