  "account": "On November 10, Ohio State football coach Ryan Day announced that freshman quarterback Luke Fahey would start against Northwestern on November 14. This marks Fahey's third consecutive start for the team. Julian Sayin's injury sustained during Ohio State's victory against Indiana led to Fahey's promotion to the starting role. However, the nature of Sayin's injury remains undisclosed, and there is no projected timeline for his return.\n\nLuke Fahey, the Ohio State quarterback who led the team in consecutive losses to USC and Oregon, will take the field for the upcoming game. According to Day, Fahey is set to start, with Tavien St. Clair prepared to replace him if necessary. Day emphasized that the decision to bench St. Clair would only be made if he were deemed the best option to secure a victory. Currently, however, that option has not been determined.\n\nFahey's performance in the recent games against USC and Oregon has been noteworthy. During those matches, he accumulated 620 passing yards, scored three touchdowns, and threw one interception. His completion rate stood at 64.8%. However, Ohio State's offense has been lacking in the absence of Sayin. In the game against USC, the team struggled to score, settling for four field goals. Against Oregon, wide receiver Jeremiah Smith went without a catch for nearly two quarters. Following Oregon's 38-point surge, Ohio State managed to lead 14-0 at the end of the first quarter, but ultimately fell short as the Buckeyes could not capitalize on the momentum.",
