Kyle McCord made a clear case to be Ohio State’s full-time starting quarterback after he threw for 259 yards and three touchdowns on just 20 attempts against Youngstown State.
After Ohio State’s second game of the 2023 season, it now appears clear who the Buckeyes’ top quarterback is.
In the game's immediate aftermath, Ryan Day wasn’t ready to commit to McCord as a firm starting quarterback going forward, saying he wanted to evaluate the film before making any decisions. But Day said he was impressed with McCord’s improvement from Week 1 to Week 2. “First start of a new year, a season opener on the road, Big Ten team – there's a lot that goes into it. And I wouldn't necessarily call them distractions, but there's just a lot of things that go into that game, and once you get that game over with, got the win and then got into the flow of a normal week with a practice schedule and then know our routine and just kind of eased into it a little bit more so that I would say the first week.
Of course, McCord’s week-to-week improvement features the caveat that it came against an FCS opponent, which an Ohio State quarterback should always be able to put up big numbers against. And given that Saturday was Brown’s first opportunity as a Buckeye to see extended playing time, it was also fair to expect that Brown’s inexperience would show – which perhaps wouldn’t be the case as much if he saw extended playing time again next week.
Whether Day decides to name a clear-cut starter this upcoming week or allow them to continue competing, both quarterbacks said they plan to keep their focus on just trying to play their best whenever their number is called.
