Lobbestael Earns Pac-10 Honor

3:12 PM Mon, Sep 22, 2008 |

The Cougars have a big decision to make at the quarterback position come Saturday...if injuries don't make the decision for them.

Gary Rogers is out for the season after he suffered a cervical spine fracture against Portland State.

Kevin Lopina also left the game against the Vikings...he has a deep shoulder bruise (Wulff says they are taking a "wait and see" approch with his progress this week).

And, Marshall Lobbestael is the Pac-10 Offensive Player of the Week (in only his second career game).

Here is the release from Washington State University:

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State University quarterback Marshall Lobbestael was named U.S. Bank Pacific-10 Conference Offensive Player of the Week, Commissioner Tom Hansen announced.

Lobbestael, a redshirt freshman from Oak Harbor, Wash., had thrown only two passes all year before coming off the bench to lead Washington State to a 48-9 win against Portland State.

Entering the game after injuries to the Cougars first two quarterbacks, Lobbestael's first two pass attempts went for touchdowns covering 14 and 53 yards. He ended up completing 9 of 12 passes (.750) for 149 yards and the two touchdowns with no interceptions.

The Cougars scored on the first four possessions after he entered the game. Washington State's offense piled up a school-record-tying 36 first downs and 638 yards total offense (277 rushing, 361 passing).

We'll know more about the QB's as the week goes on. Check back here tomorrow for any more updates.

If nothing happens...I'll have a report from practice on Wednesday.
