The Mac and Mounger Show: UW Kicks Off Big Ten Conference Play

After white-knuckling their way to a 3-0 start, the Washington Huskies kick off Big Ten Conference play this weekend against the Minnesota Golden Gophers. Jack McCauley and Luke Mounger get together to share their thoughts before Saturday evening's showdown.

Minnesota enters this game 2-1 on the season, having lost a couple of weeks ago to Kamario Taylor and the Mississippi State Bulldogs. Even so, Minnesota boasts a veteran coach-QB combo, with PJ Fleck entering his 10th season as the head coach of the Gophers and Drake Lindsey garnering NFL Draft Buzz.

After recapping Washington's week three win over Eastern Washington, Jack and Luke turn their attention to storylines they are tracking as the Huskies take on their first conference opponent of the season. Among those topics is if Washington's young, yet talented defensive front will succeed in trying to disrupt Lindsey's rhythm in the pocket this weekend.

Additionally, the two life-long interns discuss takeaways on Washington's offensive performance so far. This includes Washington's heavy reliance on short and intermediate passes to keep the offense on schedule and how that tactic might fare against steeper competetion.

After picking their Bets to Bark, Jack and Luke share their plays for Betting B1G. Each is off to a 3-6 start, so it might be a good idea to ignore this part of the show! Finally, the duo shares their confidence interval that the Huskies can improve to 4-0 on the season.
