Yeah its been McCord. They've run the ball a bit better than expected. Really need to build on the lead to start the 2nd half.

The defense is playing well, need to offense to step up.

Yep with Stroud or fields this is 24-6 or more at half. But he's a young pup just needs to settle down. Weird thing with McCord is he seems to settle down then just get too amped or start falling away for no reason. Unlike most QBs who once they settle in they stay there

And PSU has 2 timeouts left. McCord has not been good and one incomplete pass and PSU can force OSU to punt and they have an excellent punt returner. Even a decent return puts them near field goal range. If It was at the 30+ yard line, I could see being aggressive, but not that close to the goal line. Not to mention McCord’s proclivity for putting the ball on the ground. The risk greatly outweighs the reward, in m

With a close game like this i think the reward outweighs the risks. Its more likely that the half ends 10-6 than 10-9.

Its week 8 not week 2 or 3. Kyle needs these kind of reps.

Don't like the narrative that Ohio State got bailed out by the penalty. It was a consequential penalty that, if MHJ doesn't get held, McCord will likely throw to him. Good call. Glad it was called before the refs decided to take a nap.

This is a pretty good game so far. McCord needs to settle down obviously. If he can get consistent, this team is could be special.

O-line is looking better, not great yet, but pretty good, especially considering the competition.

Yeah I was thinking if youre at the 35 or so and can take a chunk underneath the coverage and burn a timeout and there's a bunch of options from midfield to run different stuff

Anyone who doesn’t like taking a knee…what was the PSU’s best chance at a TD so far? Hint-it wasn’t with their offense on the field. In a 10-6 game there’s no decision there..it’s always a knee

Couldn't disagree more. That is way too conservative. You play to win the game. If you're afraid to try to get 3 before the half with 3 TOs, you're setting the wrong tone
