One play or big moment per day as we count down to the start of Ohio State’s 2023 football season.

As we count down to the start of the 2023 season, we will be looking back at one play or big moment in
Ohio State history over the past decade or so that corresponds to the remaining days left until Buckeyes take the field against Indiana on Sept. 2. There are 34 days remaining.


Play of the Day: Kyle McCord hits JSN for 34-yard TD vs. Akron (2021)


Ohio State fans got a brief glimpse of the Buckeyes’ likely quarterback for the 2023 season when Kyle McCord made a start in place of C.J. Stroud against Akron in 2021. The freshman wasn’t asked to do a whole lot — especially with three OSU running backs combining for five TDs — but still finished the game with 319 yards passing to go with two TDs and an INT. This was a pretty strike to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the score, and though JSN is now gone, this lone start for McCord could prove to be the difference in the starting QB battle heading into this season.

One play or big moment per day as we count down to the start of Ohio State’s 2023 football season.

As we count down to the start of the 2023 season, we will be looking back at one play or big moment in
Ohio State history over the past decade or so that corresponds to the remaining days left until Buckeyes take the field against Indiana on Sept. 2. There are 35 days remaining.


Play of the Day: Ohio State, Utah score 35 points in 3 minutes in Rose Bowl (2021)​


The first time in our countdown where the opposing team also factors into the equation, this wild sequence in the 2021 Rose Bowl saw Ohio State and Utah combine for 35 points in under three minutes of game time, including a 97-yard kick return, two 50-plus yard TDs by Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the poorest tackling you'll ever see on a broken play for the Utes that resulted in six. Ohio State was lucky to emerge victorious in this one with how poor the defense was, but JSN’s 15 catches for 347 yards (!!) and three touchdowns certainly helped matters.


Players to Wear the #35 (since 2010):

  • Jim Hastings (2009-11)
