Julian Sayin's injury impacts Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith Heisman bid

Julian Sayin, the Ohio State Buckeyes' starting quarterback, will miss the remainder of the season due to injury. Coming off a productive start with 2,007 passing yards and 19 touchdowns, Sayin's absence raises questions about the impact on star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith's Heisman Trophy campaign. Despite the uncertainty, history suggests Smith could potentially strengthen his case. Smith has 52 receptions for 984 yards and 12 touchdowns this season and leads the nation in several receiving categories. As Ohio State strives to maintain its top-ranking, Smith's performance may be crucial in shaping his Heisman narrative moving forward.
