So you want to play QB?

Washington State is holding open tryouts for the scout team QB.

Wait! Are you serious?

Absolutely.

Quarterback tryouts

The Cougars are holding a “campus tryout” for quarterback Monday. No kidding.

“We have to find somebody for the scout team,” coach Paul Wulff said.

WSU lost both Gary Rogers and Kevin Lopina to back injuries two weeks ago, and are starting redshirt freshman Marshall Lobbestael while Lopina recovers.

“I’ve never had to do this before,” Wulff said. “There’s got to be somebody enrolled that has played quarterback.”

It seems as though there are no able bodied players on the current practice squad who are capable of filling in.

Perhaps the real answer is there are no players who dare become a QB in the Pac-10. You know—what with Gary Rogers and Kevin Lopina (Washington State), Nick Costa, Justin Roper, and Jeremiah Masoli (Oregon Ducks), Patrick Cowan and Ben Olson (UCLA), Sean Canfield (Oregon State), and Jake Locker (Washington) all going down at one point or another with injuries. (Gee, did I miss any?)
