6 behind Anthony Gordon (48) for most total TD’s ever in a single season at WSU.
Not too shabby for a sophomore with two games left to play.

Will he play another game? I don't like being this cynical but I am. He's a good college qb. He's better talent than most of this roster if not all. Rumors are he has had offers. Why, in a logical sense, should he play? Playoffs are out. High bowl game out. Not even the P12 championship is on the line. If he doesn't play I don't blame him. It the current setup of cfb.
No doubt he's leaving for (supposedly) 7 figures. But I don't see him quitting on his team, these next two games.
Two things. I was the Mateer advocate cheerleader 2 years ago, when I first saw him play. He won't be here next season. P4 conference with a better O Line and D Line, just like Ward.
2nd. Anthony Gordon is one of my all time favorites. Then he went undrafted in the 2020 NFL draft. Go figure.

I see a scenario where Minshew and Dickert stay along with the rest of the cast with transfers as reinforcements to make a run at the playoff in 2025
I dont think Mateer is afraid to play. It's obvious by his style he is not afraid. I'm just saying the landscape of CFB has changed so much I wouldn't surprised if nor angry at him if he didn't play.
Anthony Gordon dealt with a defense that surrendered 32 pts per game. Was that defense really any better than this one?
If Gordon had been capable of using the left side of the field, he would have been drafted. But he wasn’t.
If even half of what Leaf and the other talking head last night said was true, Mateer likes everything about WSU/Pullman and wants to be there.
That being said, it’s tough to imagine a 20 year old turning down a 7-figure payday unless there are some giant strings attached. I wouldn’t do it if it was going to UW, who’s probably going to be looking for another new coach in a year, or to some other situation that is less than rock solid for 2 years.
