Who Was Ohio State's MVP Against Penn State?

Unsurprisingly, Julian Sayin was unaware in Ohio State’s postgame interviews that the legendary Nick Saban called himself a “dumbass” for using the briefly-Alabama, now-Buckeye quarterback as a scout team player during his freshman season.

While that’s impossible, as Sayin was only at Alabama for less than two weeks, it’s still a glowing compliment that the best college coach to ever do it paid his former recruit. And a funny moment for ESPN’s College GameDay.

"The coach at Alabama played [Julian Sayin] on the scout team for a whole year. What a dumbass."
