Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State vs. USC: 5 Keys to Winning Without Julian Sayin
Ohio State travels to Los Angeles for a sold-out Halloween night matchup against USC, but the Buckeyes will begin a new chapter without injured quarterback Julian Sayin.
Whether Luke Fahey, Tavien St. Clair or both play, Ohio State must protect its young quarterback and avoid becoming predictable. Joe breaks down the five keys to a Buckeye victory, including establishing the running game, getting Jeremiah Smith involved early and attacking USC quarterback Jayden Maiava.
Can Ohio State's defensive front recreate the pressure Wisconsin generated? Will the Buckeyes win the crucial third-down battle? And can Ryan Day and Arthur Smith build an effective offense around a first-time starter?
Plus, a final score prediction for Ohio State's primetime trip to the Coliseum.

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State vs. USC: Two-QB Plan and Lincoln Riley Under Pressure
Ryan Day still hasn't named Ohio State's starting quarterback against USC—and he says Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair could both play Saturday night.
We break down everything Day revealed about the quarterback competition, how the offense will change without Julian Sayin and why Austin Siereveld's potential return could be critical. Carson Hinzman explains how the offensive line is adjusting, while Jaylen McClain welcomes the added pressure on Ohio State's defense.
On the USC side, Lincoln Riley addressed growing questions about his future after the Trojans' 24–7 loss at Wisconsin. Riley also discussed Jayden Maiava's performance, USC's struggling running game and the challenge of containing Jeremiah Smith.
What did this week's comments reveal about Ohio State's plan—and how much pressure is USC feeling entering the sold-out Halloween matchup?

Daily Buckeye Blitz: Ohio State vs. USC Preview: Can the Buckeyes Win With Two QBs?
Ohio State travels to Los Angeles for a sold-out Halloween night matchup against USC—but the Buckeyes still haven't named their starting quarterback.
Ryan Day says Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair could both play as Ohio State adjusts to life without Julian Sayin. We examine how Arthur Smith can protect the young quarterbacks, why Austin Siereveld's possible return matters and whether the improved running game can function without Ja'Kobi Jackson.
USC is coming off a revealing 24–7 loss at Wisconsin. The Badgers sacked Jayden Maiava five times, forced two interceptions and held the Trojans scoreless in the second half. Did Wisconsin provide Matt Patricia and the Ohio State defense with the blueprint?
We break down the matchups that could decide the game, including Ohio State's pass rush against USC's protection, Jeremiah Smith against the Trojan secondary and the crucial third-down battle.
