Even the most fervent optimists in the Washington State fan base cringed at the sight of last year’s Cougar offense. The running game never got on track, and WSU finished 111th in the country in rushing with just over 95 yards a game on the ground. With that said, the strength of this year’s offense appears to be the rushing attack.

Head coach Paul Wulff insists on running a no-huddle offense, but last year it was abandoned for a variety of reasons including personnel issues and injuries. Wulff could struggle to implement the offense again for similar reasons this season, so it may not be a bad idea for him to rely on a clock-consuming ground game instead. Washington State will feature up to five solid tailbacks, including an exciting new transfer and a reliable veteran starter looking to close out his career on a high note.

Senior Dwight Tardy enters 2009 atop the depth chart. The 5-10, 208-pound running back has loads of experience, starting in 26 games during his career. Tardy has rushed for 1,824 yards and scored 13 touchdowns on 421 career carries. Last season, he led the Cougars in rushing with 481 yards and three touchdowns.
