The Ohio State Buckeyes won a crucial Big Ten battle against Indiana, but in doing so, their quest to win the ultimate war of a national championship took a blow, as starting quarterback and 2025 Heisman Trophy finalist Julian Sayin is expected to miss “several weeks” with a right shoulder injury he suffered during the fourth quarter of Saturday’s road victory, Ryan Day announced after the game.
Sayin sustained the injury on a first down play with 8:05 remaining in the fourth quarter when he was sacked by Indiana’s Mario Landino. As Landino wrapped up Sayin for the sack, the Buckeyes quarterback’s right arm was awkwardly pinned upward against his body. Sayin exited the game and did not return, though he was spotted on the sideline with his right arm in a sling in the waning moments of Ohio State’s win.
