Easily the best quarterback in the Pac-12, Falk has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the nation due to his sharp decision-making skills and abilities to make plays in coach Mike Leach’s air raid offense.

Falk’s gaudy numbers only begin to tell the tale. He rose up the depth charts from being a walk-on to starter after former Washington State quarterback Connor Halliday was injured in 2014. Falk established quickly that he had the talent to lead the cougars.

Falk has everything you could want in a top tier quarterback. He is 6’4″ with a big arm, stays composed in the pocket, doesn’t make mistakes and has great accuracy.

Making Falk even more dangerous is the return of his favorite receiver Gabe Marks. The Cougars also return three starters on the offensive line from 2015, but will have to replace the starting left tackle. The Cougars also have a very good ground game which defenses have to respect which in turn opens up the passing game for Falk.
