Ohio State football leaned on speed and defense to mute Washington huskies\u20141-for-11 on third down allowed, rushing bottled\u2014and yet the Buckeyes\u2019 offense still feels governed even with Jeremiah Smith flashing.<\/p>\n
USC football at Illinois football turned into a shootout: Lincoln Riley had Jayden Maiava dealing to Makai Lemon (monster night) but Bret Bielema\u2019s Illini refused to die\u2014special teams, short fields, and third-and-long conversions kept it claustrophobic.
