    Luke Fahey's Trainer Compares Him To Jayden Daniels

    Luke Fahey's longtime quarterback trainer says Fahey is "the next star at Ohio State," and that Fahey is "as good, if not better, than any of them that I've been around." The trainer is Ryan Porter, who has also worked with Jayden Daniels, the Washington Commanders quarterback. Porter is the founder of QB Cavalry and has trained Fahey since eighth grade, including coaching him on the seven-on-seven circuit. Fahey is a true freshman from Mission Viejo, California, and would be making his first start at USC on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. As of Ryan Day's Oct. 27 comments, Ohio State hadn't officially named a starter. Day said both Fahey and Tavien St. Clair practiced well and that the staff needs to "stack a few more days." In this video: - What Fahey's trainer says about him - Is the Jayden Daniels comparison fair? - Zach Smith and Kris Drew's takes - What Ryan Day has said about the starter - What Fahey needs to show against USC Do you buy the hype?

    Ryan Day Is Hiding His Quarterback From Lincoln Riley

    Ryan Day is being very careful about what he reveals at quarterback ahead of Ohio State's Halloween night showdown at Lincoln Riley's USC. Starting QB Julian Sayin, a Heisman finalist last season, left the win at Indiana with a throwing-arm injury and Day has shared very few details about his timeline. True freshman Luke Fahey stepped in against Indiana and is widely expected to start at USC, a homecoming for the Southern California native. But Day hasn't handed him the job outright, and five-star sophomore Tavien St. Clair is still in the mix. Is it a strategic play against Riley, or real uncertainty? In this episode, we break down: - What Ryan Day has and hasn't said about Julian Sayin's injury and timeline - Why Luke Fahey is the favorite, and why Day won't say it outright - Where Tavien St. Clair fits, and why Urban Meyer questioned the decision - How Lincoln Riley's USC defense could attack a true freshman quarterback - What the quarterback situation means for Ohio State's College Football Playoff hopes with Oregon and Michigan still ahead Is Ryan Day playing mind games with Lincoln Riley, or does he genuinely not know who his quarterback is? We give our take. Follow the show for more Ohio State and college football news and analysis all season long.

    Luke Fahey's First Start Is Against Lincoln Riley

    Luke Fahey's first start could come against Lincoln Riley and USC in the Coliseum on Halloween. Zach Smith and Kris Drew break down what Ohio State needs from a true freshman quarterback in a road game. Ohio State plays at USC on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Julian Sayin is out "indefinitely" after hurting his throwing arm in Ohio State's 19-15 win at Indiana on Oct. 17. Ryan Day said Fahey "has been ahead of Tavien" St. Clair, but also said, "We're going to play the guy that gives us the best chance to win." As of the latest coverage I found, Day hadn't officially named a starter. Fahey is a true freshman from Mission Viejo, California, so this would be a homecoming of sorts. Day's early game-planning hint was "make routine plays routine." Sports Illustrated notes Ohio State hasn't won a regular-season game at USC since 1946. In this video: Luke Fahey's first start against USC and Lincoln Riley What Ryan Day has said about Fahey and Tavien St. Clair How Ohio State could game-plan around a first-time starter Can the Buckeyes win at the Coliseum after 80 years without a regular-season win?

    Ryan Day Says Refs Won't Call PI For Jeremiah Smith

    Ryan Day says officials missed calls on Jeremiah Smith in Ohio State's 19-15 win at Indiana, and Zach Smith and Kris Drew react. Is Jeremiah Smith being held to a different standard because of his size, or is this a coach working the refs? Ryan Day said two plays in the Indiana game, both involving Jeremiah Smith, were ones where Ohio State "didn't get calls," calling them "game-changing plays." He said that "a tug, a pull or a bump on Jeremiah, based on almost anybody else in the country would look a lot different," and that "a foul is a foul." Ohio State normally sends about 10 plays a week to the league for review and sent more after the Indiana game. Not every call went against the Buckeyes, and coverage noted flags that went Ohio State's way too. No league response has been reported. In this video: - What Ryan Day said about the missed calls on Jeremiah Smith - The "a foul is a foul" argument: does Smith's size change what gets flagged? - Why Ohio State sent extra plays to the league - Zach Smith and Kris Drew's own takes on the officiating - What it means for Ohio State at USC Do you think Jeremiah Smith gets the calls he should?

    Josh Pate Says Ohio State's Season Is Over Without Julian Sayin

    Josh Pate says Ohio State will miss the College Football Playoff without Julian Sayin. In this video, Zach Smith and Kris Drew react to his take, and you can hear for yourself whether they agree with him. Is it a fair read on the Buckeyes, or an overreaction to a backup quarterback situation? Sayin hurt his throwing arm in Ohio State's 19-15 win at Indiana on Oct. 17. Ryan Day said Oct. 20 that Sayin is out "indefinitely" and gave no timeline. ESPN reported that Ohio State plans to play the rest of the season without him, and Day said, "We're going to play the guy that gives us the best chance to win." Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair are the options, and both are getting reps during the bye week before the Buckeyes play at USC on Oct. 31. As reported, Pate said on the Rich Eisen Show that he expects Ohio State to lose at least three games and miss the playoff, and he questioned whether the running game improves with Fahey. In this video: Josh Pate's take on Ohio State's season without Julian Sayin What Ryan Day has actually said about Sayin's status Luke Fahey, Tavien St. Clair and the backup quarterback question Does Ohio State's path to the playoff still exist?

    Julian Sayin's Alleged Elbow Surgery Changes Everything Ohio State quarterback Julian Sayin is out "indefinitely," Ryan Day said Tuesday, and the Buckeyes are now planning for him to miss the rest of the regular season.
