Ohio State quarterback Luke Fahey made his first public comments on Thursday ahead of Saturday's home game against Oregon. Fahey, a true freshman, was not available to beat reporters during the season, so the radio show was his first opportunity to discuss his role as starting quarterback. He explained how quickly the journey to the game unfolded, going from a rough start to the present moment.
Fahey's performance in his first start against USC was decent, with 21 of 38 passes for 260 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions, but he made several big drops that hurt the team. Ohio State amassed 464 total yards but only scored three field goals on their first five drives, with 11 penalties. Head coach Ryan Day attributed the loss partly to the people around Fahey, emphasizing the need for better support as he adjusts to the role.
With Oregon coming in at 5-3 and allowing 208.0 passing yards per game, Day stated that Ohio State is "starting the playoff season right now."
