American college football season
The 1990 Washington State Cougars football team was an American football team that represented Washington State University in the Pacific-10 Conference (Pac-10) during the 1990 NCAA Division I-A football season . In their second season under head coach Mike Price , the Cougars compiled a 3–8 record (2–6 in Pac-10, ninth), and were outscored by their opponents 381 to 286.[1] [2]
The team's statistical leaders included Drew Bledsoe with 1,386 passing yards, Shaumbe Wright-Fair with 739 rushing yards, and Phillip Bobo with 758 receiving yards.[3]
WSU played three quarterbacks this season: senior Brad Gossen, redshirt sophomore Aaron Garcia , and true freshman Bledsoe,[4] who started the final five games.[5] The Cougars played their home games on campus at Martin Stadium in Pullman ; sand -filled Omniturf was installed prior to the season, and the offset double-support goal posts made their debut.[6]
For the only time since 1935 , Northwest foe Oregon was not on the Cougars' schedule (excluding the war years without a team (1943 , 1944 )).
