It will be interesting to see Washington's man on man defense vs Ohio States offense. Notre Dame did a decent job but I'm not sure that Washington has the horses to keep up. Thoughts?

No one really has those horses if you think about it as just ability to cover.

The best bet for opponents is to confuse the young QB. How well teams can/can’t do that will be the key all year, followed by how well they can get after said young QB and speed him up.

Just my .02

Will Howard started 16 of 16 so I don’t think the ND effort can be described as decent lol.

That said both UW corners are 6’4 and for some reason that’s being celebrated? I don’t know about you but when was there a good 6’4 corner? There hasn’t been one. The fact they have two? Oh boy.

What I’ll say is this game will be closer than we’d all like I think. I love their running back and their QB is a weapon. Add in having a so so WR1 and they have good skill.

Their defense isn’t anything of note so really it boils down to can Julian Sayin be cool or not? No mistakes and I like our chances big time.

If they’re 6’4” the slightly underthrown deep ball might be a riskier than usual proposition. Maybe this will be the game in which Innis eats in the slot.

As I tell my girls in soccer… if you’re playing a bigger girl? Get them moving laterally.

Well do the same. With their tendency to play man on man? We are going to go crazy across the field.

If they’re going to play man? Dude we are going to murder them.

They don’t have the defensive front 7 anyways.

I can’t wait to see Reese vs their QB. I’ll say this… I’m a fan of this UW team. They’re a tougher match than anyone is giving credit.

They’re going to destroy their rival and they probably still won’t be ranked. Not only should they be ranked but they should be top 15 IMO.

Obviously I’m a fan of their offense.
