ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is sidelined indefinitely with a throwing arm injury sustained during the win against Indiana, with no set timeline for his return, according to coach Ryan Day.
- The Buckeyes plan to continue the season without Sayin, including postseason games, with true freshman Luke Fahey and sophomore Tavien St. Clair competing for the starting quarterback role.
- Sayin, a Heisman finalist last year, has been highly productive this season, completing 71.2% of passes for 1,772 yards, 17 touchdowns, and two interceptions before his injury.
- Fahey, who has been the primary backup, showed composure in relief during the Indiana game despite limited passing success; both he and St. Clair will receive extensive reps during the upcoming bye week.
- Ohio State will prepare for its next game at No. 19 USC on October 31, with the coaching staff aiming to select the quarterback who offers the best chance to win.
