Arch Manning TRANSFERRING to INDIANA so Curt Cignetti Can FIX his Game Makes Sense!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 10:00:00 GMT

Texas quarterback Arch Manning is in the midst of another disappointing college football season and his NFL Draft stock is cratering. But he does have another year of eligibility left and we suggest he take his talents to Bloomington and play for QB-whisperer Curt Cignetti at Indiana. Cignetti turned around three straight one and done veteran quarterbacks like Kurtis Rourke, Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza and now Josh Hoover!

Speaking of quarterbacks the news gets worse for Ohio State football as Julian Sayin appears to be done for the year after suffering an arm/shoulder injury during the Buckeyes win at Indiana Saturday. Coach Ryan Day is using the bye week to hold a quarterback battle between true freshman Luke Fahey and redshirt freshman and former 5-star Tavien St. Clair.

We also have TV times and networks for all 6 Big Ten college football games this weekend we post our weekly Big Ten football Power Rankings! Where is your team on the list?

Off-Script Ohio: Sayin’s status, the quarterback battle and midseason grades

FFSN — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 08:00:00 GMT

The bye week news hasn’t been kind to Ohio State. Julian Sayin is now out indefinitely. He technically hasn’t been ruled out for the season, but my guess is we won’t see him again this year. With Sayin out, both Luke Fahey and Tavien St. Clair will get first-team reps over the next two weeks before Ohio State travels to USC.

The two quarterbacks couldn’t be more different. St. Clair was a five-star recruit and the No. 3 quarterback in the 2025 class, and he’s listed at 6-foot-4 and 235 pounds. In limited action, he’s 5-of-7 for 52 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Fahey was a three-star and the No. 36 quarterback in the 2026 class, listed at 5-foot-11 and 206 pounds. He’s 9-of-11 for 203 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions.Whoever wins it, the offense will have to lean on the run game and Jeremiah Smith.

That run game took a hit too. Ja’Kobi Jackson needs surgery and will be out about a month. The hope is that he’s back for Michigan, which puts even more on Bo Jackson’s shoulders in the meantime.

Cole and Joey go position by position, comparing what was expected of each group heading into the season with how they’ve actually performed through the first half of the year. From the running backs and wide receivers to the defensive front and special teams, they evaluate which units have lived up to expectations, which have exceeded them, and which still have work to do.

DEVASTATING BLOW: Ohio State Buckeyes could LOSE Julian Sayin—Season OVER? Quarterback Battle ERUPTS

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 21 Oct 2026 07:00:00 GMT

Ohio State Buckeyes face a massive shakeup as star quarterback Julian Sayin suffers a likely season-ending injury, casting a shadow over their national championship hopes. With Ryan Day refusing to confirm Sayin's absence for the year, all eyes turn to the brewing quarterback battle between Luke Fahey and the athletically gifted Tavien St. Clair. Who will step up to lead the Buckeyes through a critical stretch, and could this QB drama affect Sayin’s future in Columbus amidst the transfer portal and NIL era?

Matt Fontana and Justin Zwick break down the impact of Sayin’s injury, the strengths and uncertainties surrounding Fahey and St. Clair, and Ryan Day’s cryptic messaging. The hosts debate Ohio State’s postseason outlook, the evolving quarterback room, and the looming expansion of the College Football Playoff to 24 teams. Will the Buckeyes’ championship window stay open, or is more chaos on the horizon for this perennial Big Ten contender?
