Malone and Smith Jr are stepping up on the inside so that's encouraging to see. Plus Curry and Atkinson both have the ability to play inside. Curry was a beast on the inside against OU.

What helps is Patricia’s ability to move to a 3-4 if need be if we’d also like to just have less DTs on the field.

Yeah, he's messing with OC heads. Three front, Bear front, 4-3, etc. It's been fun to watch.

scUM is really the only one on that list that really concerns me because of them seemingly always getting lucky and hitting a couple of long runs every game despite struggling the rest of the time.

I’m telling you Washington is going to be a challenge. Their running back might be the best in the big ten and that includes PSU. Add in the most mobile QB in the big ten and they’re quietly a very dangerous team.
Now I don’t think their defense will be able to do much but that offense can hurt the bucks.

I know he had good stats against their only FCS opponent so far but that Washington oline looks bad, it's never good when a mediocre G5 team sacks your QB 4 times
Washington will come into our game not even being close to being tested. It's going to be a big adjustment for them. Their opponents before us.

Wazzu who just got nuked by North Texas.

Yea exactly. We likely don't really know much about Washington and won't until we actually play them. They will likely clobber Wazzu this week but at this point that means nothing.
Id guess they are about your average middle of the pack of the conference type team. The game being @ Washington makes it not a walk in the park (especially being Sayins first road start) but I still expect we win by a decent enough margin.

Vegas seems to think the Bucks will be fine. Most of the books have it OSU -11.5

Which, if anything, is shaded down somewhat because they want all that public money that follows OSU to think it's still a good deal.
In English; their true line is likely higher but not through 14 so they shape the market with a line like -11.5 that still looks appealing enough to get the flood in on OSU AND avoids giving UW so many points that the sharp action starts piling in on UW. So all in all, probably a pretty "fair" line.
In the context of a conference game now, not the OOC 30+ point blowout lines, this is a big margin for a road team to be favored.
My take is that 1 dimensional, QB centric, run heavy teams (like peak Urban Meyer OSU teams) have a lot of trouble making that work vs top tier defensive talent.
