The Ohio State Buckeyes walked out of Bloomington with a win over the No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers on Saturday afternoon, but it may have cost them, in the end.
Starting quarterback Julian Sayin exited the game in the fourth quarter of the 19-15 victory on Saturday and would later return to the sideline sporting a sling on his right arm. After the game, head coach Ryan Day told media members that they don't have a ton of details on the injury, but are expecting Sayin to miss "several weeks" going forward.
In the game, Sayin threw for 235 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions, and he is up to 2,007 yards, 19 TDs, and four INTs so far this season.
Once he left the game, true freshman Luke Fahey came into the game and completed the victory for the Buckeyes, though he threw two incomplete passes in the game and rushed for -2 yards during his limited action.
Going forward, this could be a potentially devastating injury for Ohio State to deal with. The Buckeyes have one of the toughest schedules in the nation this year, and the path doesn't get any easier from here. Next week, Ohio State fortunately has a bye week before they travel west to face the No. 19 USC Trojans, then host the currently unranked Oregon Ducks back in Columbus.
After that, Ohio State has potentially challenging games against the Northwestern Wildcats, Nebraska Cornhuskers, and Michigan Wolverines to close out the season, all of which get much more difficult if Sayin is sidelined for multiple weeks.
