Expect anything different?
Following his 393-yard, four-touchdown performance in Ohio State's 34-0 win over Wisconsin, Julian Sayin earned his first Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week award and third Big Ten Freshman of the Week award of the season.

Sayin completed 36 of 42 passes (85.7 percent) against the Badgers. His career-high 393 passing yards were the most an Ohio State quarterback has recorded since C.J. Stroud set the school record with 573 passing yards in the Buckeyes' win over Utah in the 2022 Rose Bowl Game.
“We really tried to put a lot on his plate today and let him push the ball down the field. I thought he made some really good decisions,” Ryan Day said of Sayin in an interview with CBS Sports. “I thought there were some really good catches as well, but he's making good decisions. I thought he made a couple of really good scramble plays down the stretch as well.”
One of those really good catches came on Sayin's first pass of the game, as wide receiver Carnell Tate leaped over two defenders, lost his helmet and still scored. Sayin went back to Tate for his second touchdown pass in the opening frame before finding Will Kacmarek for a 2-yard score in the third quarter and Brandon Inniss for a 13-yard score in the fourth.

Scarlet & Game: Ohio State gets a bye week, then four straight games against teams with losing records (Penn State, Purdue, UCLA, Rutgers). Three of those games are at home, and three of those opponents rank worse than 65th in SP+.

Just sayin': Four straight games against teams with losing records and three are at home. That's 4 very good opportunities for Sayin to put up more "Heisman passing stats"....:boogie:

Yeah, I know team goals (i.e. winning games, getting better, and developing players, etc.) are more important than individual awards. In blow out games you want to see the 2nd and 3rd stringers get some actual playing time too. In addition, you don't want the starters getting injured while still playing late in the 4th quarter after the eventual winner has already been determined. Still, it would be great to see Sayin' win the Heisman.

He can put up Heisman-winning numbers in 2-1/2 quarters. But he'll need help from the defense.
Say the good guys are winning 35-0 with 5 minutes remaining in the 3rd quarter. He's 20/25 with 3 touchdowns and 300 yards. If he does that 4 times, he's up to 29 touchdowns, I believe, still 80% passing, and, if my math is correct, he'll be at 2 million yards for the season.
Throw another 4 touchdowns against the cheaters, and 3 more in the conference championship game, and he's gotta be in contention.
Who might put up better numbers than that?

Day can help him if he cares too, but I don’t think he cares about the Heisman. Days individual goals for his players is get them drafted.

Hopefully, he's learned a lesson. He played Stroud way too much and I seem to remember reading part of that was for Heisman exposure. Put Stroud at risk and fucked us the next year or so because we had no one with any experience. Reciprocally, though, it could be argued that this situation also got us an NC by compelling us to go out and get Howard.
