Quarterback Decision
Ohio State will keep Luke Fahey as its starting quarterback for the upcoming game against Northwestern. Coach Ryan Day confirmed the choice Tuesday despite two straight losses. Fahey took over after replacing an injured Julian Sayin during the October 17 win at Indiana. Sayin suffered a throwing-arm injury and is not expected to return until possibly later in the postseason.
Fahey's Recent Numbers
The California freshman has completed 57 of 88 passes for 620 yards with three touchdowns and one interception across the losses to USC and Oregon. The team moved the ball effectively in those contests yet struggled to finish drives and surrendered 71 points combined to the Trojans and Ducks.
Backup and Special Teams Notes
Tavien St. Clair remains one snap away and must stay ready. St. Clair has completed 5 of 7 passes with a touchdown and an interception in two appearances this season. Fahey entered as a three-star prospect ranked No. 60 in California for the 2026 class. Quality control coach Rob Keys will now oversee special teams with input from others following the Monday firing of coordinator Robby Discher.
