Fresno State · Washington State

Oct. 6—COMMENTARY Something had to change. Long before Washington State started the season ...

Moments after a lackluster second scrimmage of the Washington State football team's fall camp under the hot August sun in which the offense looked disjointed and positive plays were few and far between, offensive coordinator Matt Miller stepped to the mic and owned it. Gotta prepare a better plan for the guys, for them to go execute it.

So everybody's got to look themselves in the mirror, which is an awesome opportunity for all of us to learn and grow." That was the right kind of attitude for a first-time solo play caller — Miller was co-offensive coordinator for Boise State last season — to have, especially as WSU transitioned out of fall camp and looked toward the coaching staff's inaugural season together.

New coaches, new players, a new Pac-12 Conference ... Surely first-year coach Kirby Moore, the son of a legendary high school football coach from just down the road in Prosser, Wash.
