Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Day has confirmed that the quarterback competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Kienholz remains extremely close, with neither player having a clear advantage. As the final week of the season approaches, both players are continuing to prepare for the upcoming matchups, and the decision on who will start is expected to be made in the last week of the season.
Both Sayin and Kienholz have shown strong performances during training camp and preseason games, with neither player appearing to have a significant edge over the other. Day has emphasized the importance of making the final decision based on how each player performs in the final week, rather than making a premature call. The coaching staff is closely monitoring the progress of both players, with the hope that one of them will emerge as the clear choice by game time.
With the Buckeyes looking to make a strong push in the remaining games of the season, the quarterback decision is a crucial factor in their success. Day’s comments suggest that the competition will be decided in the final week, with both players still having an opportunity to prove themselves under pressure. The outcome of this decision could have a significant impact on the team’s performance in the coming weeks.
