UW 27
Ohio 24
There are a few items that I can't get out of my head heading into this game:
  • Sayin is making his 1st road start and Husky Stadium is notorious for being a rough place for young QBs making their initial road starts
  • Not saying UW's defense is the caliber of Texas, but I'm having a hard time shaking the game plan that Ohio State had that day trying to protect Sayin … have to believe that they will likely try to protect him again
  • Ohio State searching for playmakers in the run game … their top 2 RBs are not game breaker explosive types so I'm going to be watching for how many carries Bo Jackson gets as he may be explosive
  • Texas didn't have a problem moving the ball against Ohio State relatively speaking putting up 336 yards to Ohio State's 203 … but Sark Sark'ed on 4th down going for it way too often (1 for 5) instead of taking the points
  • While people want to boil UW's defense down to 3 players, the reality is that those 3 players are all high-end NFL players and that generally means that they're going to make at least some players during a game
  • UW's run defense has actually been pretty solid this year and when combined with Ohio State's struggles increases the chances that UW may be able to put more of the game on Sayin's shoulders
  • UW's defensive strength at CB provides some balance against Ohio State's WR strength
Big picture I see this as a good to very good Ohio St team versus an elite version. They might get there if the QB play rises during the year but it is still a massive question mark. This is the right time to catch them if we were to beat them this year.

31-27 and many of you can stop crying we don’t have a single top 25 vote.

After looking at this game and match ups closer. My opinion Washington has some early success moving the Football in the first half and is able to keep it close. OSU 2nd half adjustments on both sides of the ball and talent gap/depth will be the difference. 35-17 OSU

Why do you hate 34-17?
 
I'm at least interested to see, maybe even optimistic, that UW has really limited the reps of a lot of the DTs we have hopefully, just maybe held Jayvon Parker to get him ready for this game.
Watching the Texas game a lot it's so hard to read much but it certainly feels like two teams that reloaded both of their fronts on the fly after losing a ton of veterans and Ohio State seemed like they were asking very very little from their QB, at home. It's possibly their lines are this quickly in the season still quit ahead of UW's but I think there's a chance that's not the case.
I am certain that I am very jealous of Ohio State's LB's. They look and move like WRs but are like 6'4 235. I feel like we haven't had guys on that level since the early 90s.

I think you're right though see it more like 33-20.
The depth factor is key, particularly if Tacario Davis (CB) and Kyler Manu (LB) don't play.

I do not see the Ohio State "D" giving up 41 points to anyone this season.
This years Defense is even better than last years #1 Defense.
I think the Huskies will be able to move the ball and get on the board in the first half. After that I do not see them scoring more than a field goal or two in the second half.

35-17 Buckeyes.
 
42-21 Bucknuts
The UW offense hasn't faced a defense with a pulse yet and has to prove it before deserving rhe "great offense" label I've seen them being given. I think the OL issues will return, and Demond will take a beating but keep UW in it. tOSU puts it away late and covers.

The caveat is the crowd and Sayin's reaction to it.

Thanks Damone!
 
my head says OSU 31 Dawgs 20, The Spirit Animal says Dawgs 27 OSU 24… I’ve seen a lot of 4th qtr Husky magic in Montlake and this feels a lot like one of those moments. This team needs to be fired up in the first quarter and play some kick ass effective football to set the tone early.

Thoughts on Washington's defense? It's 69th in YAC yet has yet to play an offense ranked in the top 80.
How is that even possible?
Hey @1Buckeye, how is Buck defense YAC this year?
