The WSU football team wrapped up another spring practice Tuesday, leaving just one more practice before the Crimson and Gray game on Saturday.
Tuesday appeared to be a bit about motivation, specifically motivating Marquess Wilson. When Mike Leach was asked if Wilson compared to former Texas Tech wide receiver Michael Crabtree, Leach said bluntly "No, he doesn't." Leach expanded to say Wilson's work ethic isn't where it needs to be for him to be great. Leach's full comments on Wilson can be heard in the video below.
