Ahead of the Apple Cup against the Washington Huskies, Washington State Cougars quarterback Gardner Minshew brought his intimidation game up in the cold and rainy elements.

The breakout senior, donning his beloved mustache and headband, walked around shirtless with his teammates during warmups on Friday.

The Cougars already held home-field advantage in this game, but that clearly wasn’t enough for Minshew and No. 8-ranked Washington State. Walking around the field shirtless on a frigid night further adds to the allure of this team.

Once Minshew and his teammates suited up, they took the field ready to extend their winning streak and within grasp of a conference title. Who knows, we might see Minshew shirtless again if the Cougars win on Friday.
