Preview Minnesota Golden Gophers at Washington

The Washington Huskies who are favored 
at home generally against others are ten
point favorite to beat Minnesota Golden 
Golphers is Saturday.

The Golden Golphers have a 2-1 record on 
the season while the Huskies are 3-0 all
games at Husky Stadium though they 
still haven't played their best ball offensively.

Minnesota their lone loss was against 
Mississippi State in game two 38-13 
and last week bounced back beating 
Akron 41-7. Against MSU they were down
by 22 points at halftime. They were having
trouble running the ball averaging under
one yard per carry. In an usual nway the 
Golden Golphers threw 36 passes in a
row in the second  half scoring six points.

The Huskies have a good defense against
the run so we could see Golden Golphers 
throwing a lot especially when getting 
behind.  The Huskies have averaged 4.4
yards rushing and over 120 yards a game
although got to a rocky start in the Apple 
Cup where their top two running backs 
were injured and won't return until later
in the season.  They didn't click in the 
passing game until last week against
Eastern Washington when QB Desmond 
Williams Jr  threw four touchdowns in
the first half.

Minnesota's running back Darius Taylor
missed last week with lower body injury 
is expected to play this week. They have
three other players back too.

The Huskies have three defensive players 
that are questionable but they have two
starters that are returning in defensive tackle 
Elinneus Davis and edge rusher Logan George.

We are hoping to an entertaining game.
Go Dawgs.
