Williams was able to get behind Minnesota’s defense because Tyler Nubin bit pretty hard on Feagin flaring to the flat. And why? Because Feagin torched Minnesota and Nubin personally on a screen earlier in the game resulting in a 52 yard TD catch and run. Nubin wasn’t gonna let Feagin get loose again.
Thus, the win was ultimately produced by Feagin. Goes to show how useful it is to have a dude in our backfield that opposing defenses must deal with.

if we shut down the run they will really struggle to move the ball, but they are an Ok running team and have had their moments on the ground. to give an idea of how bad they are at passing it, they are only completing about 13 passes a game for 140 yards at about a 55% completion rate. if we can keep them in 3rd and long it will be a long day for their O.
i think this game is basically a toss up. if either team can go up 7-0 early or gets a two score lead at any point i think it gets tough for the other one to win.
