Ohio State football's Kyle McCord has another shot to lock up the starting quarterback job.
First things first. Before he can win at Notre Dame or Wisconsin or end the losing streak to Michigan, McCord must fully take the reins of the first-team offense and prepare to drive it against Indiana on Sept. 2.
McCord took his shot at that standard as a true freshman. He was not yet equipped to supplant Stroud, who spent two season becoming the standard bearer for what Day wants in a brainy, mistake-averse quarterback. He looked solid, though not yet special, in his spot start that season against Akron. Day fully expects adversity to arise Saturday afternoon. Stroud experienced his share in his first start. Defensive coordinator Jim Knowles talked about McCord’s cool, collected poise, and it could be one of his best assets Saturday.
In a sense, McCord has played with his back against a wall. He always had much more to lose from the quarterback competition. When Brown pulled ahead of McCord, Day told him so, leaving it up to the older competitor whether he would summon a sustained period of improved performance.
