00:00Saturday night, Fox Sports will have the call of the Gopher football game against Washington.
00:03Two weeks ago, the Gophers saw one of their top quarterbacks in the country, Kamario Taylor, who sliced up the
00:09Gophers.
00:09Tomorrow, they'll get a peek at another dual-threat quarterback, DeMond Williams Jr.
00:14DeMond is one of the best players in the Big Ten.
00:17It's not just his arm. He can throw hash to sideline.
00:21They spread you out sideline to sideline, but they can work really, really tight, too, and put you down in
00:2513 personnel.
00:28He's a great runner. He's not just looking to run. He's throwing the football.
00:32And then if you break down in coverage and you give him a lane, he's going to run for a
00:35long time.
00:36Let's go for head coach P.J. Fleck. Talk and shop there. Minnesota will be underdogs in this matchup.
00:40I think those first three games taught us a lot, especially the SEC game against Mississippi State.
00:44And we've got to go apply those lessons when the experience is the greatest teacher in life.
00:48So one game, big-time championship season, you've got to go earn it.
00:52You've got to do the best you can to go earn it.
00:54One-week league, man, and they keep coming at you.
00:56And like I said, this team was in the national championship three years ago.
00:59So we've got a great challenge ahead.
01:01It's big time. It's the Big Ten. It's the big stage.
01:04And you choose to play at that level.
01:06And now we're in it. And now we're in conference play.
01:09And how exciting.
01:10So, again, the point is if you can't get up for that game, right, no matter who you're playing,
01:15then you're in the wrong league. You're at the wrong level.
01:1810 p.m. kickoff tomorrow night from the Pacific Northwest.
01:22Get ready for that one. That game is on Fox.
