Is Ohio State QB Kyle McCord ready for Penn State? How the Buckeyes’ new starter has grown
New York TimesOhio State quarterback Kyle McCord took a third-down snap from the Purdue 4-yard line with six minutes left in the second quarter. As Simms observes McCord’s play through his first year starting at Ohio State, he gets excited because he can see all of their work coming out in separate moments. The last time McCord played in a top-10 matchup, the Simms family watched with pride as McCord led Ohio State on a 15-play, 65-yard winning touchdown drive in the final minutes at Notre Dame. “You have to make throws like Josh Allen and some of those other guys where it’s 6 feet off the ground 40 yards downfield.” Simms and McCord worked on technique, like where his feet should be and how McCord needed to turn his body to create torque and power to drive the ball. “I said, ‘Captain Kyle McCord you have now been promoted to the rank of major.’ And I saluted him,’” Simms said with a laugh.
