Context

Ohio State head coach Ryan Day updated the status of quarterback Julian Sayin after the Buckeyes' win at Indiana. Day said the team would not set a timeline and is withholding specifics of the injury out of respect for Sayin and his family.

Fahey will lead the offense when Ohio State plays at USC after the bye week. Day said the offense may need to do things slightly differently with Fahey in the game.
