Kyle looked more relaxed on the field than he ever did at tOSU. Just one game but the Cuse appears to have been a great choice for him

They all assume they are going to lose every week. He's the messiah for Cuse football.

I am actually happy for the guy. QB at Ohio State is rough, even when you put up good numbers.

Yeah I was hopeful for him coming back healthy after the season. My opinion of him changed when he transferred cause he wasn't assured he had the starting job. Now if new information comes to light that day pushed him out it will change again.

I was hopeful for the player he could become. Not sure I like the attitude.

Through two games, McCord looks a lot better than he did in his first few games with the Ohio State Buckeyes. In Week 1 against Ohio, he was 27/39 for 354 yards and four touchdowns. He also threw one pick in that game. On Saturday against the Yellow Jackets, he was 32/46 for 381 yards and four tochdowns.

Throwing for 735 yards and eight touchdowns in his first two games is quite good. Howard, in contrast, has 520 yards and four touchdowns through the air. He does have a rushing touchdown though, something that McCord doesn't have. Howard also doesn't have a pick yet.

McCord's new change of scenery has clearly done him good. He is on a team that doesn't have as high of expectations and plays in a worse conference. This quarterback switch seems to have worked for all parties involved so far this year.

Just sayin': Yes it did.

Kyle McCord Says He Has “Nothing But Love for the Buckeyes,” Thankful for Support from Ohio State Fans

Kyle McCord Says He Has “Nothing But Love for the Buckeyes,” Thankful for Support from Ohio State Fans​

Kyle McCord still holds Ohio State and its fans in high regard despite the unceremonious end of his tenure with the Buckeyes.

During an interview on the “Rise and Schein” podcast with SiriusXM’s Adam Schein, McCord said he has “nothing but love for the Buckeyes” even though he decided to transfer from Ohio State to Syracuse following last year’s regular season when Ryan Day declined to guarantee that he would remain the Buckeyes’ starting quarterback for 2024.

McCord says he has kept in touch with many of his former Ohio State teammates and some of his former Buckeye coaches and that he continues to receive support from Ohio State fans.

“I appreciate all of them,” McCord said when asked what his message to Ohio State fans would be. “I still root for Ohio State. I got a lot of friends who are still on the team. I still talk to a few of the coaches. I still root for them and I’m cheering those guys on. I appreciate the fans because I met a lot of great people in the community who still have been reaching out and supporting me so that’s been awesome. On my end, there’s nothing but love for the Buckeyes.”

McCord acknowledged that he likely wouldn’t have left Ohio State if the Buckeyes had beaten Michigan and said he felt like he left OSU with “unfinished business” because of that loss in The Game. But he says he is grateful for what he learned over the course of his three years at Ohio State.

“I’m extremely thankful for how it went. In the moment, it’s not necessarily how you envision the season ending, losing against Michigan,” McCord said. “But there was a lot of really good things that I learned about myself throughout the season, just growing as a player and a person, and so to go through all that, I feel like it’s prepared me for everything that’s to come still in my career.”

“He's off to a great start,” Day said. “It looks like the first couple games he's gotten a good rhythm and got a great win (two weeks ago against Georgia Tech), so happy to see him doing well so far this season.

“When you come to Ohio State you're going to get developed at a high level at every position, but at quarterback, I take a lot of pride in that and the fact that we develop guys at a high level and that even if you were to leave – we don't want you to leave – but even if you were to leave, it's still time well-spent and invested. And so you’re happy when guys go on and do well, even though you want to retain as many guys as you can – that's our whole culture – but that’s just the way of the world. So happy to see Kyle do well, he won some great games here and poured a lot of effort into the program.”
