Julian Sayin to miss Ohio State's game against USC on October 31
Summary

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is expected to be sidelined for several weeks due to an injury sustained during the game against Indiana on October 16. Sayin exited in the fourth quarter and later appeared on the sideline with his right arm in a sling. Head coach Ryan Day confirmed that details about the injury are limited, but Sayin will likely miss the pivotal matchup against USC. Backup quarterback Luke Fahey filled in for Sayin against Indiana but struggled in his performance. The absence of Sayin could impact Ohio State's offensive effectiveness against the Trojans, who see the game as more winnable.
