Washington State (8-3, 7-1) remains in the hunt for a league title heading into Fridays Apple Cup against No.6 Washington.Leach said people who think the Air Raid involves only a quarterback and receivers do not understand the offense. It is often running backs who get the most touches, he said. Wed like to have the highest level of production from that position, Leach said.Gerard Wicks, Jamal Morrow and James Williams are the backs carrying the load.

Its been nice.Quarterback Luke Falk, who has thrown for 3,935 yards so far this season, said the running game keeps the defense honest.People cant drop eight back on us now, Falk said. They have to respect our run game.Receiver Gabe Marks said the running backs deserve the touches they get.Back in the day, wed just run it and nothing would get done, Marks said after the Cal game, when Washington States backs combined for 254 yards and averaged 8.2 yards per rush. Its hard to deny that type of production.Washington States running game began to improve during last years 9-4 season. Washington State scored just eight rushing touchdowns and averaged 80 yards rushing per game last year but that was a big improvement over the dreadful 2014 average of 39.8 yards per game.This season, the Cougars are averaging 132 yards per game, highest in Leachs head coaching career.
