Washington opens Big Ten play Saturday night against Minnesota, and this matchup gives us our first real chance to find out what this UW team actually is. The formula looks pretty clear: take away Minnesota’s run game, force Drake Lindsey to play from behind the sticks, and then attack a Gopher defense that has shown some very exploitable weaknesses on the back end. In this episode, we cover: • Why Minnesota feels like Washington’s first real prove-it game • The formula for forcing Drake Lindsey to beat UW through the air • Why Lindsey is dangerous when he stays on schedule — and vulnerable when the picture changes • Minnesota’s run game and why Washington’s defensive front matches up well • Where UW can attack Minnesota’s offensive line • Noah Jennings and Javon Tracy, the best WR duo Washington has faced so far • Why Tracy could make special teams a real factor Saturday night • How Ryan Walters can make life uncomfortable for Minnesota’s offense • Why Minnesota’s safeties and back-end communication look exploitable • How RPOs, motion and tempo could open the entire UW offense • Demond Williams’ opportunity against Minnesota’s secondary • Why Desmond Roebuck, Rashid Williams and the tight ends could have favorable matchups • Minnesota’s defensive front and the challenge it presents for UW’s O-Line • The first-quarter signs that will tell us where this game is headed • Why Washington absolutely cannot keep donating free yards through penalties • Our final Washington–Minnesota score predictions CHAPTERS 0:00 The Formula for Beating Minnesota 0:42 Minnesota Comes to Montlake 2:20 The Preseason Feel Is Over 3:27 Rapid Fire: Which Minnesota Shows Up? 6:06 Minnesota Through Three Games 8:58 Drake Lindsey: Make Him Beat You 15:07 Kill the Run, Change the Game 16:00 Minnesota’s Run Game & O-Line 20:55 Jennings, Tracy & Minnesota’s Weapons 23:02 Special Teams Could Swing This 25:13 How Washington Attacks Minnesota’s Defense 28:19 Anthony Smith & the Gophers’ Front 29:31 Minnesota’s Secondary Weakness 33:11 Does UW Even Need to Establish the Run? 38:45 First-Quarter Tells 41:23 The Prove-It Game 42:46 Rapid Fire + Score Predictions What decides this game for you: UW taking away Minnesota’s run game, Demond attacking their secondary, or Washington simply playing clean football for four quarters? 🏈 Subscribe for weekly Washington Huskies football discussion, game reviews, recruiting, insider conversation and more. #WashingtonHuskies #UWFootball #MinnesotaFootball
