Ohio State Names A Starting Quarterback and Kicker, But No Starting Free Safety Yet

The first question of Tuesday’s press conference with Ryan Day hadn't even been fully asked before the Ohio State head coach emphatically exclaimed “yes” that the Buckeyes were ready to name a starting quarterback.

Day officially named Kyle McCord as Ohio State's Week 1 starter, but said Devin Brown would also play and that he hopes to give Brown “meaningful” playing time against the Hoosiers.

Other revelations from Tuesday's press conference included Jayden Fielding earning the nod as OSU's starting kicker and Malik Hartford, Ja’Had Carter and Josh Proctor all being expected to see time at free safety in Week 1.
