QB Luke Falk will return to Washington State for senior season

Washington State quarterback Luke Falk will return for his senior season, coach Mike Leach announced during the Holiday Bowl press conference Monday.

“It won’t be his last game,” Leach said when asked whether Falk would be playing in his final collegiate contest. “We’ll see what his last game means to the program.”

Leach later said he’d had several conversations with his junior quarterback and he didn’t “believe” Falk was leaving.
