Horseshoe Hangover: Buckeyes’ defense dominates Washington in Big Ten opening win

The latest episode of Land Grant Holy Land’s Horseshoe Hangover is here! Join Alex Frank and Ryan Weckstein as they help you get through any lingering feelings you may have from the weekend while recapping Ohio State’s latest game and looking ahead to the next game. The No. 1 Buckeyes passed their first road test, and first Big Ten game, of the season with a 24-6 win at Washington on Saturday, led by their dominant defensive line. Alex and Ryan get into what makes this defensive line so good and why it was so vital to the game on Saturday. With the Buckeyes offense still coming out slow to start the game, the defense allowed them to settle into the rhythm and flow of the game. Julian Sayin played a mistake-free game on Saturday. For this being his first road start and first Big Ten game, he deserves a lot of praise. Alex and Ryan discuss what allowed him to have the success he had on Saturday playing in a tough environment. Bo Jackson continued his strong case to be the Buckeyes lead running back on Saturday, and the Buckeyes as a whole had success running the ball against a stingy Washington defense. Alex and Ryan then hand out their game balls on both offense and defense and give their first looks at next week's prime time home showdown with Minnesota.
