SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Ohio State finally slowed down upstartWashington.


Chris "Beanie" Wells ran for 132 yards with a touchdown and ToddBoeckman tossed another score as the 10th-ranked Buckeyespulled away from the Huskies in the second half for an 33-14victory in an intriguing non-conference matchup on Saturdayafternoon.


Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline each caught a TD for OhioState (3-0), which extended its regular-season winning streak to21 games. The Buckeyes' last loss was in last January's BCSChampionship game vs. Florida.


But this Ohio State team does not have as much experience as thesquad that played for the national championship - making coachJim Tressel even prouder.


"With a young team, getting put behind (early), there was a lotof momentum going (Washington's) way at the end of the firsthalf," Tressel said. "Lesser groups could've folded. Being ayoung bunch that took leadership from guys like James(Laurinaitis), they accepted that leadership and then made theplays."


But the Huskies (2-1) had been the hot team entering Saturday'scontest. Unranked Washington had won its first two contests,including a 24-10 upset of then-No. 22 Boise State lastSaturday.


It looked like more of the same in this one for the Huskies, wholed, 7-3, at halftime on their home field. But they just couldnot matchup with the powerful Buckeyes.


"We had opportunities," Huskies coach Tyrone Willingham said."We just didn't take advantage of (them). Really, that was thegame. When you play a good football team, sometimes you're notable to take advantage of all the opportunities.


"(Ohio State) did some good things and, of course, we did somegood things, but certainly not enough good things to putourselves in the winning circle."


Washington even had the momentum going into the second halfafter Anthony Russo's 23-yard TD catch gave the Huskies theadvantage with three seconds left in the opening half.

But the Buckeyes came out hot after the break, taking the leadback on Robiskie's 68-yard TD catch to make it 10-7 with 9:36left in the third.


"Really where we found our troubles at was (in) the thirdquarter when they scored the long ball," Willingham said.

Ohio State would not look back.


After a quick three-and-out by the Huskies, Wells added a14-yard score to give the Buckeyes a 17-7 advantage with 8:57left in the period.


Ohio State added Ryan Pretorius' 23-yard field goal andHartline's 36-yard score in the fourth en route to a 30-7cushion.


Boeckman was 15-of-26 for 226 yards for the Buckeyes, who opentheir Big Ten Conference slate vs. Northwestern next Saturday.

"I think Todd did well," Tressel said. "The first half, we werehanging in there, doing OK, just not enough. In the secondhalf, he came in and made some big plays. We're going to needto come in and grade the film. He's got a lot more room togrow."


Quarterback Jake Locker had 283 total yards and a touchdown forWashington, which had four turnovers.
