Washington State football kicks off a thrilling new era under head coach Kirby Moore, hitting the field in a revamped Gesa Field with fresh upgrades and a stacked schedule. The Apple Cup opener against Washington on NBC sets the tone, followed by a high-stakes trip to Kansas State. Quarterback Demond Williams gets his chance to erase past drama and shine against a new-look WSU defense. Arizona returns to Pullman for a pivotal early conference test, while the Oregon State rivalry ignites under first-year coaches. The season culminates in a historic homecoming against Boise State — a top Pac-12 contender — where Moore’s ties to the program could make this game a defining moment.

"Someone’s Life Is Changing Today..." - A message from Corey

Jim Walden, the legendary college football coach who led Washington State and Iowa State for 17 seasons and later became a beloved radio voice, has passed away at 88. Known for his 44 wins at WSU and his knack for upsets at Iowa State, Walden’s legacy extends far beyond stats—he was a mentor, a character, and a steady presence for players, fans, and colleagues alike. His impact echoes across the game, and his loss leaves a void felt deeply by all who knew him.
