5 ways Julian Sayin injury changes USC football odds vs Ohio State

The USC Trojans are preparing for a pivotal matchup against Ohio State following a shift in the Buckeyes' roster. With Julian Sayin sidelined by injury, Luke Fahey is expected to take over at quarterback, a change that forces Ohio State to adjust its offensive strategy.

USC now looks to leverage the experience of coach Gary Patterson to stifle the inexperienced Fahey and contain playmakers like Jeremiah Smith. USC quarterback Jayden Maiava will aim to lead his team to an upset by capitalizing on these defensive and tactical shifts.

The Trojans' defensive front, featuring Jahkeem Stewart and Jide Abasiri, will be tasked with forcing the Buckeyes into a one-dimensional run game to secure a win.
