Washington is beating Ohio State

Is the DB Styles out and any other injuries for OSU?

I actually would probably prefer Reese to spy Williams because that would take him out of pass defense and I'm not sure he has the acceleration / speed to catch Williams.

Styles is out @ the nickel position. We have played in a lot of 3-2-6 looks this year, not sure if we do that as much this week with the ground game Washington has.

Thanks, are there any other injuries you know of? UW doesn't have as much depth and will be missing a starting WR (Rashid Williams) and a starting LB (Tariq Al-Uqdah).

I'd probably start with a 4-3 / 3-4 if I was Ohio State because you don't want Coleman getting going.

I'm not sure what UW on D will do since Al-Uqdah is probably UW's best LB and UW's best corner (Tacario Davis) is questionable. I could see Walters going with some 5-2 looks on 1st down.

There is a chance that Manu is ready but he would only spell Bryant / Alexander.

Edge: Durfee

DT: Thompson

NT: Pepa / Sagapoulo

DT: Butler

Edge: Lane

LB: Bryant

LB: Alexander

Lane has been the pleasant surprise and Durfee has remained healthy so I see them on the field a lot. Neither are All-Conference guys but good enough to make some plays at home with the crowd.

a 3-2-6 would guarantee 200 yards on the ground for the Dawgs and keep them in the game ~ no way that is happening… they will run the same defense they employed vs Texas, make UW beat you through the air…

Typically it is a 3-2-6 look, with that said we are almost always walking a LB or Safety or sometimes both up for run support or blitz packages both Run & Pass Blitz. If the Huskies go for 200 on the ground you guys will have a good shot at winning.
