No more nonconference cupcakes are sweetening Ohio State’s schedule. Only Big Ten and postseason play lie ahead.
What awaits the No. 1 Buckeyes on Saturday is one of the best and loudest environments in college football, as Husky hopefuls will sit eagerly on the banks of Lake Washington in hopes that their Washington squad can pull an upset. UW isn’t ranked, but there’s certainly an argument that head coach Jedd Fisch’s squad should be.
Washington boasts an elite offense with potential first-round NFL draft picks at quarterback, running back and wide receiver. If the Huskies find early momentum, with the crowd behind them, they have the potential to drag Ohio State into a dogfight.
