Ryan Day announces decision on Ohio State quarterback after blowout loss.

Ohio State

Ohio State’s quarterback situation has been one of the biggest storylines in college football since Julian Sayin went down with an injury last month. And after back-to-back losses, many fans wanted to see a change.

The Buckeyes fell 30-18 at USC and then blew a 14-0 lead in a 41-28 loss to Oregon on Saturday, dropping them to 6-3. Fahey completed 36 of 50 passes for 360 yards with two touchdowns and an interception against Oregon.

But 178 of those yards and both touchdowns came in the fourth quarter, when the game was already out of reach. "The quarterback is the one position that there's only one thing that matters, and that's get as much playing time as possible," Meyer said on The Triple Option .

Meyer added that "the rest of the season, you're riding Luke Fahey because you did not get this kid reps when you probably could have." On Tuesday, Day made it clear that he isn't making a change yet as he announced that Fahey will continue to serve as the team's starting quarterback.
