But it was not a perfect day for the Buckeyes. Starting quarterback Julian Sayin was injured in the fourth quarter, leaving Ohio State without a proven veteran at the most important position heading into a key stretch.

That means the pressure and leadership fall into the hands of Luke Fahey for the foreseeable future. He also has a talented and deep group of running backs, led by Bo Jackson.

Fahey, a top prospect out of Mission Viejo High School in California, earned multiple state honors while competing. He was a three-year starter and three-star recruit, throwing for over 7,000 yards and almost 70 touchdowns with just nine interceptions.
