Ryan Day believes Ohio State will still need Lincoln Keinholz despite naming Julian Sayin the starting quarterback.

“Julian Sayin will be the starting quarterback against Texas,” Day said bluntly. “It was a close competition. I think both guys we all feel confident can win a game for us. I think Julian separated himself really over the last week with his consistent play.”

With Ohio State's Week 1 opener looming against Texas, the Buckeyes made a key move to satisfy their quarterback needs. The Buckeyes defeated Texas in the Cotton Bowl in January.
