  "account": "Ohio State coach Ryan Day has hinted at a potential replacement for injured junior quarterback Julian Sayin as the team's starting QB. Sayin suffered an elbow injury during last Saturday's 19-15 win against Indiana, making it unlikely he'll play the remainder of the season. Day announced he hasn't decided which quarterback from the depth chart will take over, but he emphasized Luke Fahey's qualities. Day praised Fahey for his hard work, competitiveness, and moxie, noting that he puts in a lot of hours and is obsessed with being great. Day also mentioned Fahey's exceptional work ethic during the off-season, where he studies play scripts and meets with the coaching staff. However, Day noted that Fahey's demeanor shifts in live action, initially feeling overwhelmed but ultimately finding his footing and making plays. Day reiterated his support for Fahey, encouraging him to use the coaching staff as a resource as he grows as a young college quarterback. With Sayin sidelined, Day and the Buckeyes will soon determine if Fahey is capable of maintaining Ohio State's CFP and Big Ten title aspirations.",
