Ohio State considers quarterback change after consecutive losses

Summary

Ohio State is evaluating its quarterback situation after falling to Oregon 41-28, marking the team's second straight loss. Luke Fahey, the starting quarterback, is now 0-2 after stepping in for an injured Julian Sayin. Fahey's performance included over 300 passing yards, but the team struggled offensively without Sayin. Coach Ryan Day faces pressure to reassess his quarterback strategy, given the impact on Ohio State's standings in the College Football Playoff race.
