Ohio State to stick with Fahey at quarterback vs. Oregon

Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Tuesday that true freshman Luke Fahey will remain the Buckeyes' starting quarterback Saturday against Oregon.

"There's things to build on there for sure," Day said. "But we've got to do a better job around him, helping him out as a young player."

Fahey made his first career start last Saturday against USC. He completed 21 of 38 passes for 260 yards and a touchdown without an interception, but the Trojans won, 30-18.

"I thought he had the right approach," Day said. "It was not all perfect. There were certainly things that happened operationally that for a young quarterback it was a lot on him, and he was working through it.
