Aug. 16—PULLMAN — In his time at Washington State, Julian Dugger has become something of an enigma.
As he enters his second season with the Cougars, the lefty quarterback has been one of the best athletes on both teams he's been on. He's also been one of the fastest. He's athletic and strong, elusive and shifty, a Division I athlete if there ever was one.
Still, this question has always followed him around: Can he get on the field as a quarterback?
Eight practices into this fall camp, that answer has yet to materialize, but Dugger turned in a convincing case on Saturday. In the Cougars' first scrimmage of fall camp, Dugger delivered five scoring drives, including two touchdowns: an 11-yard touchdown pass to tight end Cash Landau and a 21-yard scramble, turning pressure in the pocket into an easy jaunt into the end zone.
In an unofficial tally of statistics, Dugger completed 6 of 10 passes for 102 yards and a touchdown, plus six rushes for 33 yards and another score. He also led drives that ended in field goals from kicker Jack Stevens, who has quietly submitted a sterling fall camp en route to his second season as the Cougs' placekicker. All told, it added up to Dugger's best outing in his second fall camp on the Palouse.
