Ryan Day’s starting quarterbacks at Ohio State weren’t built in one game.
Kyle McCord's season-opening performance in his second career start certainly didn't end with any eye-popping numbers. But at the end of the day, the junior did enough to win his first game after being named Ohio State's starting quarterback to open the season.
McCord's stats in the season opener – 20-of-33, 239 yards and an interception with no touchdowns – left plenty of room for improvement and also left the door open for the quarterback competition with Devin Brown to continue for another week. But it appears as though Ryan Day and company are going to be patient, or at least patient enough as of right now until the Buckeyes travel to South Bend to take on Notre Dame in a little over two weeks.
