UNDATED (AP) — Ohio State coach Ryan Day says quarterback Julian Sayin is out indefinitely after injuring his throwing arm against Indiana. Day is preparing for the possibility that Sayin might miss the rest of the season. The Buckeyes are on a bye week after their 19-15 victory over Indiana. Day and his staff are evaluating whether Luke Fahey or Tavien St. Clair will start against Southern California on October 31. Fahey has been ahead recently, but both will get more practice reps. Day emphasizes the need for the team to adapt and step up, recalling past successes with backup quarterbacks.

UNDATED (AP) — Nebraska coach Matt Rhule delivered a rambling seven-minute monologue demanding accountability from players and coaches in the wake of blown fourth-quarter leads the last two weeks but also saying the Cornhuskers have enough talent to compete with the best teams in the country. The Huskers lost 20-17 to then-No. 7 Indiana after leading 17-6 with 12 minutes to play Oct. 10 and they were up 14-6 midway through the fourth at Oregon and lost 17-14 Saturday. The Huskers have had a knack for losing games they led in the final quarter since 2024.
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — Mum’s the word at Michigan. Kyle Whittingham said he has decided whether Bryce Underwood or Tommy Carr is his starting quarterback, but the coach doesn’t want to let No. 6 Indiana know before their matchup at the Big House. Whittingham said Monday he's not tipping his hand. Underwood was benched and Carr was given a chance Saturday with Michigan trailing Penn State 3-0 at halftime — and the grandson of two College Football Hall of Famers and the brother of Notre Dame’s quarterback made the most of his opportunity. Carr led two touchdown drives in the third quarter, and his 12-yard touchdown run late in the game gave Michigan a two-score lead it needed for the win.
