This Week’s Thoughts:
GopherNation: Hoping for a game that is compelling to the end and makes it worth staying up to watch.

Andy York: The Huskies are beat up, but until the Gophers can prove they can go on the road and beat any team, much less a pretty good one with a really good running quarterback, well Washington is going to get the benefit of the doubt. I hope Minnesota pulls off the upset, but I’m sure not expecting it.
Blake Ruane: See my opponent preview.
Ustreet: Other than the UCLA game in the Rose Bowl, I have never seen the Gophers win in person on the road and I don’t expect that Andy and I will break that streak this weekend. Say hi if you recognize our voices from the defunct Ski-U-Pahd.
zipsofakron: This will be a redux of last year’s Cal game (flat offense, frustrating defensive stands, etc.) but will not be entertaining into the fourth quarter like last year. The vibes are on life support just three games into the season.
mowe0018: Beating a favored team on the road is a foreign concept to P.J. Fleck. So is a dynamic offense. The Gophers’ offense and the late kickoff will most assuredly put most fans to bed.
wildcat00: A Big Ten road win? Nah, she doesn’t even go here.
WhiteSpeedReceiver: Fuck Jedd Fisch.
