Washington hosts Minnesota in Big Ten opener on September 26

Washington's first Big Ten conference game is set for September 26 against Minnesota at Husky Stadium. Minnesota head coach P.J. Fleck emphasized that his team is the only one returning its head coach, offensive coordinator, and starting quarterback this season, though Washington's Jedd Fisch also has key staff continuity despite a change at offensive coordinator. Minnesota formatted their roster around quarterback Drake Lindsay, who had a successful but challenging first season, while Washington’s Demond Williams Jr. aims to build on last year’s performance. Both teams face early season tests as they navigate unique challenges in their initial conference clash.
