Cougars open spring practice
The Washington State University football team holds its first spring practice this afternoon in Pullman. Coach Paul Wulff enters his second season on the Cougars sideline.
Quarterbacks Kevin Lopina, J.T. Levenseller and Dan Wagner are cleared for practice but Marshall Lobbestael will only take part in individual drills and some 7-on-7 sessions. Lobbestael had knee surgery last year.
Wulff said the team will work on more use of the no-huddle offense.
The Cougars will hold three Saturday scrimmages in April.
