For the first time since Alex Brink took the field as Washington State's starting quarterback 3 years ago, the Cougar senior will have a chance to return home and face the Ducks at Autzen stadium. Brink is a graduate of Sheldon High School in Eugene and was only lighlty recruited by the Ducks.

Although the Ducks are favored to win by 19, I'm sure Brink will be coming with a little extra to show up for the hometown crowd. Here's hoping he's feeling more pressure than motivation...
