10/18/25 - QB Julian Sayin, rFr/2029, Ohio State, (DS#2 QB)

If Julian Sayin hadn't already established himself as a Heisman Trophy contender, the Ohio State quarterback certainly strengthened his case on Saturday. "He's the truth," Carnell Tate said after catching two of Sayin's four touchdown passes in the top-ranked Buckeyes' 34-0 victory over Wisconsin. "He's the Heisman winner, ain't no questions, ifs ands or doubts. Each and every week, he goes out and proves he's the Heisman winner." Tate may be a bit biased after catching six of Sayin's passes for 111 yards against Wisconsin. But in his first season as Ohio State's starting quarterback, Sayin is putting up numbers that demand Heisman consideration. Sayin went 36 of 42 for a career-high 393 yards against the struggling Badgers. He has completed 80% of his passes this season for 19 touchdowns with three interceptions. Of course, it helps to be throwing to two of college football's top receivers.

Jeremiah Smith is a Heisman contender in his own right in an impressive follow-up to his sensational freshman season. Tate helped put Saturday's game away early by scoring two touchdowns in the first quarter. "We've got two guys who, when it's one-on-one and you're looking both sides, I have full confidence that both these guys are going to go score a touchdown for us," Sayin said. Ohio State (7-0, 4-0 Big Ten) has an average margin of 25.8 points during an 11-game win streak, which started with its four College Football Playoff victories during its run to the national title last season. The Buckeyes have won their first seven games this season by an average margin of 30.6 points. "That's collectively as good a team as I've prepared for or played against in all phases, just across the board," Wisconsin coach Luke Fickell said. Wisconsin (2-5, 0-4) has suffered back-to-back shutout losses for the first time since 1977, when the Badgers fell 42-0 to Ohio State and 22-0 to Purdue in successive weeks. Wisconsin was coming off a 37-0 home loss to Iowa. - Ohio State/AP College Football
