This morning, the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum unveiled the first bobbleheads of Ohio State Buckeyes quarterbacks Julian Sayin and Luke Fahey. The officially licensed, limited-edition bobbleheads feature the pair who helped the fourth-ranked Buckeyes beat fifth-ranked and defending national champion Indiana, 19-15, on Saturday, October 17th in Bloomington, Indiana. The special edition bobbleheads, which are the first for both players, are being produced by the National Bobblehead Hall of Fame and Museum, an official licensee of Ohio State University.
Sayin, a 6-foot-1 junior and two-year starter, completed 15-of-29 passes for 235 yards and two touchdowns before leaving the game with a right arm injury in the fourth quarter. Fahey, a 5-foot-11 freshman, finished the game for the Buckeyes under center and will be taking over as quarterback while Sayin is out. Ohio State moved up to #2 in the AFCA Coaches Poll and #3 in the AP Top 25 Rankings following the win over Indiana. The Buckeyes have a bye week before traveling to Los Angeles to take on the USC Trojans who are ranked #15 in the AFCA Coaches Poll and #16 in the AP Top 25 with a 6-1 record.
