Luke Fahey's first start could come against Lincoln Riley and USC in the Coliseum on Halloween. Zach Smith and Kris Drew break down what Ohio State needs from a true freshman quarterback in a road game.

Ohio State plays at USC on Saturday, Oct. 31, at 7:30 p.m. ET on NBC. Julian Sayin is out "indefinitely" after hurting his throwing arm in Ohio State's 19-15 win at Indiana on Oct. 17. Ryan Day said Fahey "has been ahead of Tavien" St. Clair, but also said, "We're going to play the guy that gives us the best chance to win." As of the latest coverage I found, Day hadn't officially named a starter. Fahey is a true freshman from Mission Viejo, California, so this would be a homecoming of sorts. Day's early game-planning hint was "make routine plays routine." Sports Illustrated notes Ohio State hasn't won a regular-season game at USC since 1946.
