What happened: The College Football Enquirer evaluated Ohio State's offensive outlook following the departure of quarterback Julian Sayin from the starting role. Analysts Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger, and Dan Godfrey examined how the transition behind center impacts the passing scheme.

Why it matters: The quarterback change directly impacts wide receiver Jeremiah Smith, whose perimeter production anchors the Buckeyes' offensive ceiling. Maintaining rhythm and explosive downfield opportunities with a new passer remains vital for Ohio State's conference and postseason positioning.

What to watch: Ohio State takes the field next week to reveal the adjusted offensive packages and timing with its new starting quarterback.
