The Cougars opened the Jimmy Rogers era with a victory, though it didn’t come as easily as many hoped against an FCS rival with the offense largely being punch-less in a tight 13-10 win over Idaho.

Looking to begin a new era in Pullman, the Cougars will bring back one of their longest running rivalries against the Idaho Vandals, aiming to get off to a fast start in the latest Battle of the Palouse.

Entering the first season of the Jimmy Rogers era, there’s plenty of uncertainty and intrigue revolving around the Washington State Cougars.

With the first depth chart released, it still is a complete mystery who will actually start for the Cougars when they face the Vandals on August 30.

Washington State has plenty of quality options under center as the Cougars remain coy on who will start at quarterback against Idaho.

While there are lots of new players on the 2025 Washington State roster, there are still are a handful of returners that fans should keep an eye on in Pullman.

With John Mateer now at Oklahoma, Washington State will turn to Zevi Eckhaus as the new starter under center. How will the rest of the depth chart look entering year one under new coach Jimmy Rogers?
