Five Ohio State Buckeyes for Ducks fans to know heading into Week 10

As Ohio State Buckeyes face Oregon Ducks in Week 10, five players from the Buckeyes stand out for Ducks fans to know. First, Ohio State quarterback Luke Fahey stepped in for starter Julian Sayin after a throwing-arm injury. Fahey, a dual-threat player, completed 21-of-38 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown against USC, though he struggled to finish drives.

Next is Ohio State running back Bo Jackson, who has carried the offense throughout his freshman season. Despite a struggling running game, Jackson remains a tough tackler and receiver at 6 feet, 218 pounds. Wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, already the consensus top player in college football, has caught 62 passes for 1,067 yards and 13 touchdowns this season.

Defensive end Kenyatta Jackson Jr. ranks second in sacks last season with six and a half. Finally, safety Jaylen McClain has emerged as a key player for Ohio State, intercepting passes, forcing fumbles, and recording 37 tackles while notching a sack.
