What time is Ohio State vs Washington today? Kickoff start, TV channel, odds, prediction
After a week off, should top-ranked Ohio State be on upset alert?
The Buckeyes (3-0) travel all the way to the Pacific Northwest to face unbeaten Washington, and the Huskies (3-0) have dynamic dual-threat QB Demond Williams Jr., who could give the Buckeyes some trouble. The sophomore was sizzling last week, completing 16-of-19 passes for 298 yards and four touchdowns in a 59-24 Apple Cup win over Washington State. He also had 88 rushing yards and a score in the rout.
Something to keep an eye on is affect of the crowd on Ohio State's offense. This is the first road game for new play-caller in offensive coordinator Brian Hartline and starting quarterback Julian Sayin, and Husky Stadium is not known for being a welcoming venue.

That said, Ohio State's biggest advantage may be in the passing game as the Huskies rank 62nd nationally in pass defense despite games vs. Colorado State, UC Davis and Washington State. Expect Sayin to exploit favorable matchups with star wideouts Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate.
For the Buckeyes, Saturday begins a stretch of three Big Ten road games in four weeks.

∎ Prediction: Ohio State 35, Washington 21
Between the long travel and presence of Demond Williams Jr., a dynamic dual-threat quarterback for the Huskies, there is reason for Ohio State to be on upset alert this weekend. For transparency's sake, a certain beat reporter made such a prediction in the preseason. But Matt Patricia has the defense ahead of schedule despite the loss of eight starters, mitigating the challenge of Williams, not to mention a matchup the Buckeyes should exploit when they have the ball. Despite not having faced a power conference opponent in three games, Washington is just 62nd in pass defense. Ohio State's downfield passing attack will ultimately be too much. — Joey Kaufman, Columbus Dispatch
