Ohio State beats Indiana as Julian Sayin exits with arm injury

Sayin left the fourth quarter in a sling after a right arm injury as the Buckeyes snapped Indiana's 22-game win streak.

Ohio State's showdown with Indiana turned into an injury scare before it turned into a statement on the scoreboard. Julian Sayin, the Buckeyes' starting quarterback, was ruled out in the fourth quarter after hurting his throwing arm, and video of the moment spread quickly online.

Sayin was seen favoring the arm as he walked to the sideline, then got a brief look in the blue medical tent before heading to the locker room. He returned to the sidelines wearing a sling, a clear sign the injury was more than a stinger.

With Sayin out, Ohio State had to finish the game with a freshman backup quarterback taking snaps in one of the biggest matchups of the college football Saturday, a top five showdown in Bloomington. The Buckeyes had built a 19-15 lead before Sayin's injury, and they held on to end Indiana's 22-game win streak by a single step.

No word yet on the severity of Sayin's arm injury or how long he might be out, leaving Ohio State's quarterback situation as the biggest storyline coming out of the win.
