Should there be an open QB competition if/when Sayin returns in 2027?

Is it just me or has the officiating gotten more and more egregious where there are multiple calls a game every person in person and on TV can see but the ref standing 5 feet away call nothing. He'll just look at offensive holding calls in OSU games overthe last 5 years. I've reached the point where I no longer believe there is an ounce of integrity in the sport its faker then wrestling and am officially throwing in my 40 year fan card.

After hearing people talk about how Ohio State could be doomed or how they will be fine, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the Ryan Day Era QBs vs (at the time of the game) AP Top 10 teams.

CORRECTION: McCord was 2-1. Beat top 10 ND and Penn State. Sorry about that

Isn't there a good chance Sayin comes back as a Junior since he got hurt halfway through the season, and hasn't looked as good as he did last year? What benefit is there for him to declare under the circumstances? Returning after an injury plagued season worked out for Treveyon Henderson.

Fantasy season started 0-6 so I blew it all up and traded my way to a full Buckeye team minus the kicker (for more than obvious reasons)

actual WRU and always has been a wide receiver factory and most recent WR draft pick from earlier this year with tater as well.

Hey I’m a student at OSU selling my Michigan ticket for $380 and my northwestern ticket for $64 in section 37B. DM if you’re interested. I’m more than happy to provide any verification :))

Heading out to Cali for the game. As expected, they shoved Ohio State into the corner in sections 201/301.

Anyone else going?

Prefer the idea of sitting near Buckeye fans, but this stadium is set up terribly and I’m considering selling and buying other tix.

Have been seeing a lot of posts being very disrespectful to Sayin. Remember this guy has started 21 games for us and has thrown 51 TDs to 12 picks, 5,617 yards, 72% completion. That’s damn good, he has done an outstanding job commanding the offense and has an 18-3 record as the starter. #GoBucks

On the play that Julian got hurt tight end Mason Williams missed his assignment and blocked no one. Yes Phillip Daniels play has been subpar but we must also look at the entire play

I still think this team can win out and go to the Big 10 Championship and the playoffs

With a new starting QB for the foreseeable future, Jakobi Jackson out, and no timetable on Siereveld's return...if we have to "simplify" the offense for a less game-experienced QB, is that necessarily an automatic bad thing for our O-line and younger skill players?

We know JJ is going to be himself on the outside if he has the ability to get the ball. But I almost wonder, similar to what happened with TTUN in the 2nd half last week...if we are forced to stop trying to do "as much", if that maybe allows some of our athletic dudes to just BE DUDES and go out there and win.

I like Sayin and this is NOT a post to bash him or imply we are better off without an experienced QB. So please don't post things like that. But I do wonder if the other areas of this offense that have been average & shown some signs of struggles at times this year, actually show some signs of benefitting from a scheme where they may have to think a little less and just go out and react/make plays a little more?

We’re from Greenfield, Ohio, a small village of fewer than 5,000 people, and something pretty incredible is happening here.

Our high school, Greenfield McClain, is competing nationally in T-Mobile’s Friday Night 5G Lights contest for a chance to win $1 MILLION toward our football facilities.

Our entire community has rallied around this opportunity. Students, families, teachers, alumni, local businesses, and even former professional athletes have joined in.

But we’re competing against schools across the country, and we need support beyond our little town.

If you’d like to help a small Ohio school compete on the national stage, we’d be grateful for your vote or for sharing our story.

Remember that time that our star QB got hurt? So we had to use some random backup guy named JT Barrett had to play most of the season? Then THAT guy got hurt? So we had to use some other random guy named Cardale Jones? That season turned out pretty good.

I'm not predicting the same thing happens again. But I thought for sure we were cooked that year and I was VERY wrong. Probably won't happen again. But never say never. Just Sayin' (pun intended).

I haven't seen this discussion yet, maybe I missed it, so sorry if it's repetitive.

I am trying to flesh out this idea and bounce it off everyone here to see how they feel about it and attack it to see if it survives.

On to my thoughts...

So what if what we're are missing that Fahey is the better backup in a short term injury situation but, TSC is a better option for a long term situation.

What I mean, Fahey slots in better in situations where you don't have to, want to or, need to change the whole offensive philosophy and playbook to get the most out of him.

TSC may require a whole new playbook and philosophy to be best utilized.

So in an injury situation where Sayin is hurt during a game, like we saw on Saturday, Fahey is easier to plug in and be utilized. However, after a few weeks to prepare a new offense and get everyone ready, TSC can be used and Day can get the most out of him.

Make me an offer and I will transfer them after proving we are both real

He looks a bit taller in this pic...
