Bleacher Report • • sports
Key Points:
- Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin suffered a shoulder injury during the fourth quarter of the Buckeyes' 19-15 win over Indiana and is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to head coach Ryan Day.
- Sayin left the game with his right arm in a sling and was replaced by true freshman Luke Fahey, who struggled in limited action with no completions on two passes and a loss of two yards on two carries.
- Ohio State will have a Week 8 bye before facing USC on October 31, likely relying on Fahey and Tavien St. Clair as their quarterback options due to Sayin's absence.
- Sayin had started all six games this season, posting solid stats with a 71.2% completion rate, 1,772 yards, and 17 touchdowns, but had recent struggles including multiple interceptions prior to his injury.
- Indiana's quarterback Josh Hoover also sustained a right shoulder injury during the game, and his status for next weekend's matchup against Michigan remains uncertain.
