Luke Falk

It's, it's interesting to me how quickly things can change and turn.

Now, you're right, it's not over, and maybe Owen Eschleman pulls a Luke Falk and comes in and wins the game, as, uh, Luke did in his debut as a collegiate starter 12 years ago.

But, but Paul, it is interesting, isn't it? I mean, I'm really, we're all, I think, surprised by kind of the turn in this new Pac-12 for both schools this year.

Well, you look at what OSU did last year.

Jason Puckett has just confirmed he'll join us for a conversation in the noon hour.

Really enjoyed visiting with Paul Sorensen, the Washington State Hall of Famer, about the Cougs and Owen Eschleman and Jim Walden and other Cougar stories through the years.

Owen Eschleman hopes to channel his inner Luke Falk or his Jayden de Laura, or if you go outside the, those schools, Willie Tuittama, Nick Foles.

All those guys made their first collegiate starts against the Beavers and all played pretty well.

Um, he's a unique one.

He's in that Luke Falk, Jared Goff, um, long, tall, skinnier, mobile deficient, pocket passer.

He can, he can move a little bit, Drew.

Yeah.

And that's not always the case now in the NIL world.

And so if we see Owen Eshelman just come in and play like Luke Falk did in his debut in Corvallis, then there are going to be questions, you know, to Kirby Moore, I would think.

Well, I mean, there'll be good questions after the fact.

Hey, way to go.

College football is not unlike the pros and all that.

And getting back to a guy like Pinnock getting a little bit more leash because you've paid him more, that's always been happening in college football, too.

And I thought Luke Falk, who was on the show this week, laid it out perfectly.

When he was competing for the starting quarterback job... tyler brugman you guys remember tyler brugman i mean tyler brugman was like a four-star recruit out of arizona in fact they flew i remember they got a donor Who they got him to pick up the tab for Leach to go fly down on a private jet to go recruit him.

Well, something like this has happened.

Because back on November 8th of 2014, a young man by the name of Luke Falk made his very first start for the Washington State Cougars.

And how did it go for Luke Falk? Pretty damn good.

He led him to a seven-point victory as a redshirt freshman, making his first start in Corvallis.

He threw for 471 yards and five touchdowns, and he never looked back, and he's the most decorated statistical quarterback that the Pac-10, Pac-12 has ever seen.

Okay? Unbelievable.

Caught up with Luke Falk this morning.

You'll hear that conversation.

We have a, a great show today.

Um, during the recap segment, we're gonna have on QB legend from Washington State, Pac-12 QB legend, Luke Falk.

The Masoe.

14,400-plus career passing yards, 119 touchdown passes, Pac-12 career yards and touchdown record.

If you need a little mind strength, which I think we all do, if you're-

Yeah

... a Washington State fan, make sure to check out Luke Falk's b- book, The Mind Strength Playbook.

It's a great, great, uh, read.
