- No. 2 Ohio State heads to the Coliseum Saturday (Oct. 31) — a heavyweight night game after OSU (6-1) lost QB Julian Sayin to an arm injury and must protect a backup against USC (6-2) at home.
- Luke Fahey (13 career passes) is projected to start, so watch whether Ohio State leans on WR Jeremiah Smith (984 yards, TD in four straight) and RB Bo Jackson to take pressure off the new QB.
- USC’s Jayden Maiava needs a cleaner day after a 50-pass, two‑INT outing; if King Miller can re-establish the run, it’ll make for a much tougher matchup against OSU’s stingy defense and pass rush.
