Northwestern got back on track with a 31–7 victory over Eastern Illinois and Zach takes a look back before glancing ahead at the Washington matchup. He begins by assessing Jack Lausch’s performance in his first start (2:10), explaining why he thought the redshirt sophomore quarterback was able to settle in over the course of his 2024 debut. Later, he’s joined by Andy Yamashita of the Seattle Times to preview the Huskies ahead of Saturday’s Week 4 tilt (17:14). The two discuss Washington’s revamped coaching staff and roster, as well as a self-inflicted loss to rival Washington State in an early-season edition of the Apple Cup (22:40). They go over the addition of Steve Belichick to helm Washington’s defense and point out some areas that need improvement for the Huskies as the season continues on (38:47). Finally, they make their picks for the first Big Ten game of the year for both programs (50:07).
