This all depends how Luke does these next few weeks. If he steadily improves and leads this team to the playoffs I don’t think you can go back to Julian.

As it’s been pointed out. Rattled Julian Sayin is a rough proposition and I can’t imagine that he’ll be better after needing surgery.

IMO, you have to see what Luke can do and then if he’s not the answer you go hard after a first round QB in the portal. If Luke kills it and I think he can then he should come pretty affordable but you still have to go out and get a good back up either way.

I’m guessing Sayin was making 5 mil a year and that’s not going to cut it throwing for 50% and a 1:1 TD to INT ratio vs good teams.

Surgery on his elbow has nothing to do with the stopwatch in his head or keeping his composure...

It can if he's favoring the arm and worried about re-injury. If it's in his head, it's not going to help what was already shaky.

Meh....I don't think it'll matter much. I've had the surgery he's being rumored to have - short of there being permanent impairment, you don't think about it.

If it were his knee or his shoulder I'd agree. I don't think an elbow will carry the same weight mentally.

Exclusive: I’ve learned details about Julian Sayin’s injury

The Ohio State quarterback, a Heisman Trophy finalist last year, is expected to make a full recovery

Surgery 2 weeks ago for a fracture. Probably better prognosis than ligament repair (who knows though without specifics :confused: ).

Right. Still a lot of guess work but it sounds promising. I would love to see Julian back in scarlet and gray next year. Not ready to give up on him in the least bit.
Continuing to pray for Julian's recovery.

Julian Sayin's injury has finally been revealed and his surgery was successful​

The Ohio State Buckeyes are trying to navigate life without Julian Sayin. The first iteration of that wasn't successful, as they lost to USC in Los Angeles. It was disappointing, but it wasn't Luke Fahey's fault. He threw for 260 yards and played about as well as you could expect a true freshman to.

Fahey is going to be the quarterback for the foreseeable future. If he ends up being ineffective, then Tavien St. Clair would take over. Regardless, it won't be Sayin. We finally know that Julian Sayin had a broken elbow, as Bill Rabinowitz reported. In fact, he had to have surgery on the fracture.

Julian Sayin's Ohio State future is uncertain​

With this injury, Sayin's future with the Buckeyes is uncertain. He could declare for the NFL and try to get as much money as he can now. However, his draft stock likely wouldn't be very high. He might be a third-round pick, and that's if his recovery does go as planned.

If Fahey or St. Clair leads Ohio State to a national title, Sayin would likely have a conversation with Ryan Day that would almost certainly lead him to transfer. Day wouldn't sit a national title-winning quarterback, no matter how good Sayin looks heading into next year.

However, poor QB play for the rest of this season could see Sayin return and be the starting quarterback for Ohio State next year. That is certainly a possibility based on what we saw in Los Angeles. Still, I think the most likely scenario is that he ends up playing somewhere else next year.

What about Dontre Willis?

Day’s statement sounded like he was looking forward to Sayin returning. I’d love for him to come back improved, but I have a hard time thinking he’ll be better under pressure. Wish he had been healthy the entire Indiana game to have a clear picture of his current floor. The recovery period looks like 4 months, which means they’ll have to make a decision about the portal well before they know how he’s healed.

If Fahey keeps improving, it’d be great to have an experienced backup, but would result in some controversy. Unless TSC stays on as QB3, they’ll have to get 1 transfer regardless.

If we stay on this track we see now, how does TSC stay after being passed up by a younger guy?

He’s only got 5 years. Needs to play somewhere.
