Cougars QB Race Heats Up | Washington State Cougars Football News

Washington State’s defensive line is heating up as Matyus McLain and Linus Zunk battle fiercely in fall camp, with McLain dominating simulated sacks and both players pushing each other to new heights. Meanwhile, the QB race remains wide open — Caden Pinnick shows consistency, Julian Dugger flashes potential but struggles with turnovers, and Owen Eshelman delivers key throws amid pressure. Coach Kirby Moore is taking his time, aiming to make a decision by next week after evaluating how quarterbacks perform under game-like stress. Tight end injuries have opened the door for Jack Pedersen and Beau Baker to seize first-team reps. With a scrimmage Friday and the season opener just weeks away, the Cougars are ramping up intensity — and this could be their most competitive season yet.
