Washington hosts top-ranked Ohio State in a crucial Big Ten opener, both teams undefeated, in a high-stakes showdown.

Washington hosts top-ranked Ohio State in a pivotal Big Ten opener, with both undefeated teams aiming to extend their records. The Huskies, riding a 22-game home winning streak and led by rushing leader Jonah Coleman and dual-threat quarterback Demond Williams Jr., face a disciplined Buckeyes defense ranked among the nation’s best. Ohio State, fresh off wins over Texas and others, enters its first road game with quarterback Julian Sayin and key receivers Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate. Injuries to Washington’s Taariq Al-Uqdah and Tacario Davis add uncertainty. The game, marked by national attention, represents a defining test for both programs as they clash in a high-stakes showdown.
