Luke Fahey Missed Devin McCuin Four Times Deep

from Menace2Sports with Zach Smith Hosted by Zach Smith

Ohio State lost 30-18 at USC, and the Buckeyes' offense left a lot on the field. Luke Fahey missed Devin McCuin deep four times, and we put the film on to show exactly what happened. Fahey, the true freshman starting in place of the injured Julian Sayin, finished 21-of-38 for 260 yards, one touchdown, and no interceptions. Ohio State outgained USC 464 yards and held the ball for nearly 40 minutes, but the Buckeyes settled for four field goals and went just 2-of-10 in the red zone. McCuin, the UTSA transfer Ryan Day said is "as good as we've had here," has been Sayin's go-to deep threat all season. Those shot plays were the offense's best chance to flip the game. In this video, we break down: • Each of the four deep shots to Devin McCuin: the coverage, the route, and the miss • Whether the misses came down to timing, accuracy, protection, or chemistry • Why the Sayin-to-McCuin connection hasn't carried over to Fahey yet • How Ohio State's red zone and deep-ball struggles connect • What Ohio State needs to fix before Oregon comes to Columbus on Nov. 7 Is this fixable in one week, or is the passing game going to cap Ohio State's season?
