For people who are not familiar with the Pac-12, you better begin to keep an eye on Luke Falk. Washington State loves to air it out, as head coach Mike Leach has installed his Air Raid offense for the Cougars. Falk has been the main beneficiary of playing for Leach, and he has established himself as one of the best quarterbacks in the Pac-12.

After throwing for 38 touchdowns as a sophomore in 2015, Falk has come back even better in 2016. On Saturday, the junior threw for 415 yards against Oregon State, engineering a 21-point comeback on the road. The Cougars have ran off six straight wins since beginning the season 0-2, and Falk is the main reason why they are one of the more feared teams in the conference.

More on FanSided:

Against Oregon State, Falk threw for five touchdowns, giving him eight in the past two games against zero interceptions. He has at least one touchdown in all but one game this season, and has thrown for a total of 24 scores in all. His 415 yards were the third time he has gone over 400 yards passing in a game this season, and his five touchdowns were a season high.
