WSU releases its spring game rosters

The Crimson and Gray game is set for Saturday and now we know which teams will be squaring off.

Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports

Unlike some schools who opt just to run through drills, Washington State's spring game consists of an actual game. Well, as close to as an actual game as you can get in spring. The Cougars will play four 15-minute quarters with a running clock.

In order to create an actual game-like environment, the coaching staff divided the roster into two teams, the Gray team and the Crimson teams. You can find a rundown of the rosters here and here, but to give you a better idea, I projected them into depth charts. These aren't going to be 100 percent accurate, and don't be surprised if players shuffle around the position groups a bit, but it should give you an idea.

It appears the Crimson team is loaded with the first team skill positions while the second teamers make up the Gray roster. The defense and the offensive line appear to have been split somewhat evenly. The resulting rosters, however, are quite lopsided. Oddmakers don't create odds for spring games -- and if they do, I'm not dipping to the level of looking them up -- but if they did, I'd expect the Crimson team to be at least a 17.5-point favorite.

Unless the Crimson offensive line completely falters, Halliday and wide receivers should shred the Gray defense. We'll find out at 1 p.m. PT on Saturday.
