J.J. McCarthy grew up dreaming of playing for Ohio State. The Buckeyes chose Kyle McCord instead.
McCarthy was the fifth-ranked quarterback in the 2021 recruiting class while McCord was the sixth-ranked quarterback in the cycle, per 247Sports’ composite rankings, but the Buckeyes chose McCord over McCarthy when they accepted his commitment in April 2019. McCarthy committed to Michigan less than two weeks later.
This week’s game between Ohio State and Michigan will test whether Ryan Day and the Buckeyes made the right choice.

McCord is just really improving and hopefully he gets the protection he needs to continue to be that effective. When he has just a little time, he has been damn good. Also, I love JJ's rank against the blitz...I have a feeling Knowles might be aware of that stat as well.Over the last 4 weeks McCord is leading JJ in a ton of critical areas.

I like that Kyle continues to grow and believe in his ability while JJ may be questioning his ability due to his coaches cheating. Allegedly;-)Over the last 4 weeks McCord is leading JJ in a ton of critical areas.

As long as he doesn't over-blitz like last year.McCord is just really improving and hopefully he gets the protection he needs to continue to be that effective.

Nope. Think you’d have to go into next year with an open competition again. Give the other 2 QB’s more snaps in the practices up to the bowl as well.Simply not good enough today
