Overview
- On Tuesday, Ryan Day said Fahey will start at Northwestern and described St. Clair as "one snap away" while reserving the right to change the starter based on practice.
- Fahey is 0-2 as a starter after losses at USC and to Oregon and has 620 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception across those two starts.
- Julian Sayin remains out for the season with a mid-October throwing-arm injury that forced the rapid quarterback succession and simplified offensive game plans.
- Critics including former coach Urban Meyer have questioned why St. Clair, a former five-star recruit, has seen little in-game work since Sayin’s injury.
- Ohio State sits 6-3 with three regular-season games left and must improve red-zone execution and offensive rhythm to keep realistic hopes for the Big Ten title or a playoff berth.
