Ohio State's Julian Sayin out; competition heats up for quarterback spot

Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin sustains an injury during the team's 19-15 win over Indiana on October 17. Sayin left the game with his arm in a sling, and head coach Ryan Day confirmed he will be sidelined for several weeks. In Sayin's absence, Ohio State will hold an open quarterback competition during the bye week, with options including freshmen Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair. Fahey replaced Sayin against Indiana, but he struggled, while St. Clair, previously seen as the quarterback of the future, has also had limited game opportunities this season. The Buckeyes are preparing to face USC in two weeks.
