The Golden Gophers arrive at the contest with a 2-1 mark through three games. Their season opened with a 59-7 blowout of Eastern Illinois, and most recently they handled Akron by a 41-7 count. Between those victories came a rough outing against Mississippi State, which handed Minnesota a 38-13 loss.
Junior quarterback Drake Lindsey paced Minnesota's offense in the win over the Zips. He completed 17 of 31 throws for 204 yards, tossing three touchdown passes against a single interception.
The ground game was anchored by TJ Thomas, who turned 13 carries into 122 yards and a score. That works out to 9.4 yards per attempt, highlighted by a 71-yard burst. Through the air, Javon Tracy topped the team's receivers with five grabs for 91 yards.
Washington comes in undefeated at 3-0. The Huskies have beaten Washington State 24-10, edged Utah State 16-14, and rolled past Eastern Washington 48-16.
Quarterback Demond Williams Jr. has been central to that start. The junior connected on 27 of 33 passes with four touchdowns and one interception, and he added 33 yards on seven rushing attempts.
His supporting cast has been productive as well. Rashid Williams hauled in six receptions for 86 yards and a pair of scores, while Dezmen Roebuck and Baron Naone each surpassed 100 receiving yards in the victory.
Saturday's game carries weight for both programs. Minnesota has a chance to even its record in conference play and knock off an unbeaten opponent, while Washington can keep its perfect season intact. Fans can catch the action on FOX at 11:30 p.m. ET, or stream it live via Fubo.
