After having their off week following a 3-0 start to the season, the Ohio State Buckeyes are on the road in Week 5 of the
college football season. The Buckeyes will be taking on the Washington Huskies to begin Big Ten play and it will be their first road game of the season. After two comfortable wins over Grambling State and Ohio, this game is expected to be much closer.
Julian Sayin is set to get his first start on the road as a true sophomore and a number of other starters in general will be making their first road starts. The Buckeyes are road favorites but this won’t be anything like their last couple of games. Ohio State is going to have to be ready to play a complete four-quarter game.
Ryan Day makes a statement on the Washington game ahead for Ohio State
“We know this is gonna be a great challenge, being on the road, a very good team,” Day said on Tuesday. “For these guys, this group, it will be our first time on the road. Whatever we’ve done in the first three games means absolutely nothing going into this game. We’ve got to go on the road and get this win.
“It starts with taking care of the football, it starts with tackling, it starts with blocking, and then it goes from there. As coaches, it is our job to make sure we’re putting them in a situation to be successful. That’s important to make sure they’re playing fast.”
