OSU star qb Julian sayin is injured and out for year.
No croc tears for buckeyes but turns out hawks played OSU too early in season.
Their backup,true frosh fahey, is a 5'11" 206 lb 3 star from cali. He did not look ready vs IU.

OSU has a bye, then home vs USC,home vs oregon, at NW,at Nebraska, home vs Michigan.

Tough slate with frosh at qb.
Huge break for all these teams.
The BIG is wide open.
Keep winning, Hawkeyes!

Their defense will carry them a long way, I reckon.

You'd think tOSU could have bought a better backup QB with just their petty NIL ca$h....🤷‍♂️

Makes you wonder, if Iowa wins out, would they go to the B1G championship game? Only OSU and UCLA remain unbeaten. Both of their starting QBs are out for the season. Can either stay undefeated? I'd wager UCLA would be the first to lose, they've become one dimensional on offense. OSU has enough talent to carry them the rest of the way. Would it be possible to see an Iowa OSU rematch in the championship? Not sure how the tie breaker works if say, Iowa, Indiana, and UCLA are tied for second. Sure would be interesting to see how we'd handle them a second time, without their Heisman caliber QB...

Their offense was built around the passing game with a weak run game by Ohio State standards. It might be too late to retool that O line offense. They have two backup qbs Fahey is said to be an accurate passer so he’s getting the nod over St Clair 6-4 230 Who is athletic and can Run.

QB2 may become the most important position in the pay-for-play era. It was already difficult to recruit guys out of HS when QB1 was a younger guy and now it's difficult to get guys out of the portal if they don't think they will be QB1. The Hawks learned that lesson early when trying to fill in behind Cade. Oregon became an outlier when they signed Raiola.

their backup looked terrible. osu could conceivably lose a lot of games with that schedule. reminds me of 2021 psu who spiraled after losing their starting qb at about exactly this point that season. from #3 to irrelevance

smart thing for day to do would be request kf for a early copy of the upcoming bestseller titled winning 10 games with deacon hill

I've only read they are planning on him to be out for season so there's a chance that's just it at this point and he can comeback late in year/postseason. With Ohio States schedule and if upsets continue 9-3 might be enough to make playoffs.

Maybe OSU will be able to put in emergency rules so they can get a free agent qb or a special in-season transfer of some top QB.

I am surprised OSU doesnt have a deeper QB room with a 3rd or 4th year experienced transfer qb waiting in the wings

This. Teams like tOSU usually have quality depth.
I'll admit I'm surprised, I thought NIL would be a rich getting richer situation, but at positions like QB it created a free agency situation. Unless you're paying that backup huge money to not play, that guy that's good enough to be #2 at OSU doesn't wait his turn anymore. He goes elsewhere and gets starter money instead.

Maybe, but then Raiola looked like dog Doo Doo in his first start and got benched.

As they are our only loss this season, we should all be rooting for Ohio St to win as many games as possible. Not praying on their downfall.

But, it stinks it didn't happen before we played them.

I think we have to give the kid a chance. He just walked in cold off the bench playing one of the best teams in the nation. Let's see what he does after the bye.

They have a 5 star guy on the bench who was a top-5 recruit in the 25 class. Sayin was hugely overrated. He put up gaudy numbers against weak and average defenses but pissed down his leg against any defense that could pressure him. Very similar to Purdy at ISU
