Julian Sayin operates the offense for No. 1, 8-0 Ohio State with such precision that he's threatening to run away with the Heisman Trophy.
Saturday he and the Buckeyes dismantled Penn State 38-14 in Columbus. Sayin completed 20-23 passes for 316 yards and four touchdowns, deftly avoiding pressure in the pocket, hitting Carnell Tate with a 45-yard bomb, connecting with Jeremiah Smith and Tate with twin strikes of 57 yards.
The Nittany Lions pressured him 15 times but never got home for the sack, Sayin picking up a first down with one nine-yard scramble. For the season the OSU redshirt freshman is completing 80.
