The Ohio State Buckeyes survived a thriller against the Indiana Hoosiers this past Saturday, but they lost Julian Sayin to a brutal injury.

Sayin went down with an injury to his throwing shoulder during the fourth quarter of the Ohio State-Indiana game. He was replaced by true freshman Luke Fahey, who went 0-for-2 passing in relief duty.

Of course, losing Sayin for any amount of time is devastating considering he’s the best option Ohio State has at quarterback. He was completing 68.2% of his passes this season for 2,007 yards with 19 touchdowns and four interceptions.

Speaking to reporters Tuesday night, Day provided an update on Sayin’s injury. Unfortunately, he said there’s no timetable for the star quarterback’s return.

“Based on the nature of the injury, we are putting together a plan for him not being available for the regular season, and also for him not being available for postseason,” Day told reporters.

Next man up for the Buckeyes.

With Sayin out indefinitely, Ohio State needs Fahey to step up and keep this offense afloat.

“We wish Julian a speedy recovery,” Ohio State star Jeremiah Smith said. “But next man up. Fahey did a great job today. … I think he did everything in the right way. Handled the pressure very well.

If Fahey wants to have success next Saturday against USC, he may want to target Smith as much as possible.
