Washington State coach Mike Leach has agreed in principle to a one-year contract extension that could keep him at the school through the 2024 season. Leach will be paid $4 million for each year of the five-year contract, school officials said. He will also receive a one-time retention bonus of $750,000 following the 2020 season. Leach is in his eighth season at Washington State and has led the Cougars to a school-record five consecutive bowl games, though they stumbled to a 6-6 record this year. Leach's 55 wins with the Cougars rank him third in program history. Leach's success at Washington State has consistently made him the subject of speculation that he may jump to another program. - AP College Football

Massive passing numbers in Mike Leach's "Air Raid" offense are the norm. Washington State's Anthony Gordon went above and beyond with his most recent performance. Gordon, who owns three of the top four games for yards passing this season and six of the top 21, set national season highs with 50 completions, 70 attempts and a career-high 606 yards passing against Oregon State on Saturday. It was the most completions since Gardner Minshew had 52 against Houston in 2017. Minshew was a graduate transfer at - where else? - Washington State last season. No one had attempted as many passes in a game since Dwayne Haskins Jr. of Ohio State slung it 73 times against Purdue last year. The yards passing were the most since Patrick Mahomes of Texas Tech threw for 734 against Oklahoma in 2016. Gordon also set a couple Pac-12 season records in the 54-53 win over the Beavers. His six touchdown passes increased his total to 45. His yardage total is 4,920, moving him to first on the conference chart ahead of Minshew's 4,779 last year. - AP College Football

Max Borghi predicted that Washington State would beat Oregon State to become bowl eligible. On Saturday night, Borghi made his prediction come true with a 2-yard touchdown run with 2 seconds left to lift Washington State to a wild 54-53 victory. The final drive of the game came after the Washington State defense stopped Oregon State on a fourth-and-6 with 1:10 left in the game. Anthony Gordon then led Washington State on a 10-play, 58-yard drive, capped by Borghi's touchdown. The win makes Washington State (6-5, 3-5 Pac-12) bowl eligible for the fifth consecutive year.

Gordon went 50 of 70 for 606 yards, six touchdowns and three interceptions. He broke the Pac-12 single season passing touchdown record formerly held by Jake Browning and Jared Goff when he hit Renard Bell in the end zone with 1:44 left in the third quarter. Gordon has 45 passing touchdowns for the season. "It's pretty awesome," Gordon said. "I really haven't had the time to reflect on it. The individual awards aren't really all that important to me to be honest though. It just goes to show if you keep your head down and work hard anything is possible. I'm just real proud of the way our team battled. The defense did an unbelievable job of getting that stop on fourth down and giving us a chance and I'm so happy the way we pulled through on that last drive." - Washington State/AP College Football

11/24/19 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

Tennessee quarterback Jarrett Guarantano has endured insults and injury during a topsy-turvy junior season. He persevered, and on Saturday night he threw for 415 yards and two touchdowns to lead the Volunteers to a 24-20 victory over Missouri. With its fourth straight win, Tennessee (6-5, 4-3 Southeastern Conference) is bowl eligible for the first time since 2016. Missouri (5-6, 2-5) has lost its last five. After coming off the bench the previous six games, Guarantano started the game and completed 23 of 40 passes. "When you play against these guys, the different looks they give you, you're going to have to check at the line of scrimmage, and he absolutely gives us the best chance to do that," Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said. "And, hey, we've got confidence in him. He's got everything you need to be a good quarterback, and tonight was far and away his best game."

Tennessee had three players with more than 100 receiving yards, a program first. Josh Palmer had six receptions for 124 yards. Jauan Jennings added five catches for 115 yards and a touchdown, and Marquez Callaway had six catches for 110 yards and a touchdown. Missouri's Kelly Bryant completed 16 of 28 passes for 166 yards and a touchdown. Running back Tyler Badie had two touchdown catches, including one from wide receiver Micah Wilson on a trick play. "They battled, they competed, they fought, and we came up short," Missouri coach Barry Odom said. "And I hate it that it resulted in a loss." - Tennessee/AP College Football

Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon threw for 520 yards and five touchdowns in a victory over Stanford, and coach Mike Leach was full of praise for the senior on Saturday. "Right now he is probably playing quarterback better than anyone in the country," said Leach, who has coached many top quarterbacks. "He made play after play in that game that other quarterbacks can't do." Washington State scored the final 24 points of the game in beating Stanford 49-22, to move within one win of becoming bowl eligible. It was their first victory in almost a month. "It was our most complete game of the season," Leach said.

Gordon completed 44 of 60 passes and was intercepted once. He now has 39 touchdown passes on the season, which leads the nation and is a team record. "He's real accurate," Leach said of Gordon. "He throws for a great deal of yards. When pressured he can do something with the ball. He typically doesn't take many sacks." "That's quite the compliment coming from coach Leach," Gordon said. "But I haven't reached my ceiling yet," he said. "I can improve." Easop Winston Jr. caught 11 passes for 107 yards and a pair of touchdowns for Washington State (5-5, 2-5 Pac-12), which has a four-game winning streak against the Cardinal. Max Borghi rushed for 111 yards and scored a pair of touchdowns. - Washington State/AP College Football

11/10/19 - Jarrett Guarantano, rSr/2022, Washington State + More +

Jarrett Guarantano has endured his share of setbacks, which has helped him appreciate the comeback that has Tennessee on the brink of postseason eligibility. Guarantano threw two third-quarter touchdown passes for the lead that the Volunteers' defense preserved with a late goal-line stand as Tennessee rallied past Kentucky 17-13 on Saturday night. Trailing 13-3 at halftime, the Volunteers (5-5, 3-3 Southeastern Conference) replaced Brian Maurer with Guarantano at quarterback to start the third and quickly got two TD drives totaling just 6 1/2 minutes. Receivers had little room for error on both scores, with the second requiring a second look.

Officials initially ruled Josh Palmer out of bounds on his 12-yard catch from Guarantano before replay review showed he got a foot down inbounds on the right sideline on the go-ahead score. His TD followed Marquez Callaway's fine 17-yard TD grab that capped a 75-yard drive covering just 2:57. "Some of the throws were there and we made a change and obviously we were better there," Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said. "We didn't change any calls. We executed better." That says a lot about the growth of Guarantano, a junior who made 22 starts for Tennessee before being benched earlier this season for Maurer. He took heat for a fumble in a loss against Alabama. He broke a bone in his left (non-throwing) hand in a win over South Carolina. Guarantano had no turnovers or injuries this time, just pinpoint accuracy that the Vols needed. Teammates surrounded him at game's end. - Tennessee/AP College Football

11/07/19 - Anthony Gordon, rSr/2020, Washington State + More +

Anthony Gordon waited for years to get on the field for Washington State. He's certainly has made up for the lost time. The senior who succeeded Gardner Minshew as the Cougars' starter this season leads the nation with 3,387 passing yards and an average of 423 yards through the air per game. Gordon has also thrown for 32 touchdowns with only nine interceptions in eight games. He is eyeing the Pac-12 touchdown record set by Washington's Jake Browning (43) and the league record of 4,776 passing yards set by Minshew last season. Of course, it's not uncommon for a quarterback playing in coach Mike Leach's Air Raid offense to lead the nation in passing since the Cougars throw on most downs, averaging 52 passes a game.

But he has been a bright spot during a tough season for Washington State. Gordon said he gets along well with Leach, who is also the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. "We see the field the same," Gordon said. "We have the same mindset: Tack downfield and put points on the board." It's been a long haul for the 22-year-old Gordon to get to this point with the Cougars (4-4, 1-4 Pac-12). Coming out of Terra Nova High School in Pacifica, California, Gordon spent his freshman year at City College of San Francisco, where he led the Rams to a 12-1 record during the 2015 season. He jumped at a scholarship offer from Washington State and redshirted in 2016. He didn't play as a sophomore in 2017. - AP College Football
