  "account": "On October 31, 2026, Ohio State faced the USC Trojans in Los Angeles. Quarterback Luke Fahey, a true freshman, completed 21 of 38 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown, along with 21 yards on the ground. Ohio State's offensive struggles were primarily due to a lack of quality play from Fahey, who did not single-handedly lose the game. The issue stems from Ohio State head coach Ryan Day, who has failed to improve the team's offensive performance despite multiple personnel and coordinator changes. The Buckeyes' red zone offense, in particular, has been abysmal under Day's leadership, with only one touchdown scored in four trips to the red zone. Day's inability to manage the clock effectively, coupled with his terrible coaching hires, has been detrimental to the team's performance.",
  "summary": "The Buckeyes’ coaching staff completely failed their players on Saturday night, looking more like a team who had two minutes to prepare rather than two weeks",
