Urban Meyer questions Ryan Day's QB choice for Ohio State

Summary

Urban Meyer publicly expressed his doubts about Ryan Day's decision to start Luke Fahey as Ohio State's quarterback. This comes after Julian Sayin's injury during a narrow 19-15 win over Indiana, which is expected to sideline him for several weeks. Meyer criticized the lack of playing time for five-star recruit Tavien St. Clair, who sits behind Fahey on the depth chart. With limited game experience for both quarterbacks, the decision has raised questions among fans and analysts alike.
