Will Derting 
PULLMAN, Wash. --- Washington State linebacker Will Derting was named to Lindy's preseason All-America second team Tuesday.

Derting racked up 86 tackles in 2003, including 12 behind the line of scrimmage with 7.5 sacks. The Okanogan, Wash., native earned first team All-Pac-10 honors and was twice named the conference's player of the week following performances against Notre Dame and Oregon State.

Lindy's All-America list, which will be featured in the publication's college football annual, included just one other Pac-10 defensive player, USC's Shaun Cody.

2003 Holiday Bowl!

The Eyes of Texas are shocked! WSU 28 Texas 20
How quickly we forgot our 1st half angst in that amazing 3rd quarter!  After 2 quarters in which our beloved cougars fought hard but were looking up at a 10-7 deficit, Bill Doba rallied the troups (Or slapped some people around?) and the fire was evident in the 3rd quarter.  The offense moved the ball and the defense was overpowering in its' pursuit of both Texas quarterbacks - the QB's feet were doing that "oh God oh God they're going to hit me any second"  dance.  

The vaunted Texas running game was slowed to a crawl as the Cougars packed the box with up to 9 blitzing defenders and dared them to throw the ball.  

"They were coming from everywhere,'' Chance Mock  said.

"I told him [Mack Brown] he won the press conference and the luncheon, but I told him we were going to win the game."  WSU coach Bill Doba
