Ohio State head coach Ryan Day announced that he will not name a starting quarterback for the upcoming game against USC, with freshman Julian Sayin unavailable.

Sayin, who had been competing for the starting role, is out for the contest. Day declined to specify whether the absence is due to injury or other reasons.

The Buckeyes face the Trojans in a highly anticipated matchup. Day said the team will prepare multiple quarterbacks and make a decision closer to game time.
