A UWDP mailbag ahead of Washington’s game with Minnesota says its writer would feel reassured by a fourth win, especially if the Huskies score four offensive touchdowns. The writer picked Minnesota, citing Washington’s trouble running the ball consistently.
The writer’s reasoning was that Washington needs to demonstrate it can move the ball in Big Ten play with a hobbled running-back room; the backs could get healthier as the season progresses.
The writer said John Mills could potentially play more left tackle and Washington could reconfigure its line after L. Hatchet returns. Mills is doubtful for the Minnesota game, and the writer said he probably would not play.
