Indiana football’s defense is still championship-level, as shown by the Ohio State game
The Hoosier defense is once again the kind of unit that can carry a championship team. That much is clear.
Ohio State coach Ryan Day announced on Monday night that quarterback Julian Sayin will miss the entire remainder of the season due to an injury sustained in a game against Indiana. The coach stated that there is no set timeline for Sayin's recovery, but he will not be available for either regular or postseason games. Sayin was injured in the final series of Ohio State's 19-15 victory over Indiana on Saturday.
True freshman Luke Fahey took over for the Buckeyes in that game and completed just one out of two passes. Before the injury, Sayin had thrown for 2,007 yards, 19 touchdowns, and only four interceptions this season, including a pair against Indiana. Day emphasized that the team will come together to figure out how to adjust their strategy if and when Fahey takes over, noting that their current 6-1 record and No. 3 ranking in the nation provide a strong foundation despite the setback.
The team will face No. 16 USC in a road game this weekend before returning home to play Oregon, Northwestern, and concluding with a final home game against Michigan.
