On Saturday, Ohio State hopes to make Washington fans Sleepless in Seattle.
The No. 1 Buckeyes enter one of the most intense and boisterous atmospheres in college football this weekend, as Washington fans will pack the banks of Lake Washington and the valleys of the Cascade Mountains, hoping their Huskies can pull off an upset.
Washington features a top-tier offense with potential first-round NFL draft picks at quarterback, running back and wide receiver. If the Huskies can seize early momentum with the crowd behind them, they could drag Ohio State into a dogfight — especially if the Buckeyes’ new starters, notably quarterback Julian Sayin, feel the pressure in their first road game. Not that there’s any sign they will, but Ryan Day’s message to Sayin on Wednesday resonated as guidance for the entire team.
“Take care of the football and just take it one play at a time,” Day said. “Don't do anything other than that, and then find a way to get your first road win, sort of like in the Texas game, like win the game. And I think in an environment like this, you've got to be steady and you've got to lead. You have to lead. And you've got to lead with your command. You've got to lead with your play and your resolve.”
