Ryan Day Explains Key Ohio State Defender’s Absence in Embarrassing Loss to USC

Ohio State suffered an embarrassing 30-18 loss to what’s been a largely unimpressive USC team on the road Saturday night, but the Buckeyes weren’t at full strength. In fact, it’s easy to argue that Ohio State wouldn’t have fallen if it hadn’t been shorthanded. The team was missing multiple key players, including quarterback Julian Sayin (out for the season with an injury to his throwing arm), wide receiver Brandon Inniss, and cornerback Jay Timmons.
