Julian Sayin News: Efficient in opener

Sayin was 13-for-20 passing for 126 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 14-7 win versus Texas.

The future of the quarterback position was fuzzy after Will Howard's departure, but Sayin won the job in camp and was ready to make a statement against Texas. While his numbers weren't spectacular, one has to take the quality of the opponent into account. Sayin never seemed out of his depth, and he fared well despite a lukewarm day from Jeremiah Smith. Texas should be Ohio State's toughest test, and we should see better numbers from Sayin against weaker opponents over the next two weeks.
