Buckeyes nation, buckle up. The highly anticipated QB1 battle has come to an end. After months of tight competition between Julian Sayin and Lincoln Keinholz, one has finally started to gain the edge. “There were times this spring that he felt Kienholz was a little bit ahead of Julian,” Ryan Day had said earlier, but it seems Lincoln’s momentum couldn’t land him the coveted spot. Julian Sayin has been officially named the starting quarterback for the match-up against the Texas Longhorns. But there’s more to it.
While Julian will lead the offense for sure, Lincoln will also get sufficient game time to boost his resume. WSYX reporter Kellyanne Stitts reported that Lincoln is handling the news well. “He knows in his heart he’s going to play this year, and he will prepare to play in this game. I wouldn’t say he’s discouraged. The team knows we’re going to need him, and he knows. Excellent leadership on his end.”
