Ohio State's offensive line prepares for USC with new QB options
Summary

Ohio State's offensive line expects to be nearly at full strength for the game against USC on October 31. Starter Austin Siereveld, who missed the last two games due to illness, is available but his full capacity for the matchup is uncertain. The line has faced challenges this season, highlighted by a string of injuries and four sacks allowed in a previous game while also dealing with an injury to starting quarterback Julian Sayin. Coach Ryan Day mentioned flexibility in the line's positions as they work to limit pressure from USC, emphasizing the importance of trust between the offensive line and the new quarterback, either freshman Luke Fahey or sophomore Tavien St. Clair.
