1. What's the vibe around the program after not starting its season this past weekend after CAL's COVID situation?
Lars Hanson: "I'd say UW is very antsy - but still focused - heading into Saturday. Especially after learning that the game against Cal was off, I think that just hardened the players. It means even more for some seniors who need as many games as possible to put tape on for NFL scouts. Overall UW as a team has handled the COVID-19 pandemic very well, and it seems as if they're foaming at the mouth to play a real opponent."
2. What will be the most noticeable differences under Jimmy Lake compared to Chris Petersen?
LH: I don't think UW will be as reserved on offense compared to how they have been in recent years. Even on special teams as I would expect the team to play more aggressively and for all four quarters. UW has struggled with slow starts on offense, and I think under Lake that won't be as much the case."
