Devin Brown replaces Kyle McCord at QB with Ohio State leading 14-7 over Youngstown State

Ohio State is giving Devin Brown some burn at quarterback, as he replaced Kyle McCord at quarterback against Youngstown State.

At the time of Brown’s introduction into the game, McCord had been slinging the rock all over the field. He’s connected with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. for multiple touchdowns, and shown some more flare that was missing when the Buckeyes defeated the Indiana Hoosiers by a score of 23-3 last week.

On one of his first throws of the game, Brown could’ve had a touchdown to Harrison Jr., but the referee crew missed an obvious defensive pass interference. Nevertheless, it seems as if Ohio State is taking the training wheels off for their quarterback.

Urban Meyer sends message to fans doubting Ryan Day, Ohio State

Moreover, Urban Meyer sent a message to any fans who doubt Ryan Day and the Ohio State Buckeyes after Week 1.

The Buckeyes defeated the Indiana Hoosiers by a score of 23-3 last week, but many came away unimpressed with Ohio State’s offensive performance. Joining Tim May for Urban’s Take, Meyer decided to make his feelings known on the job Day’s currently doing at Ohio State.

“Once again, you don’t want to disrespect fans. They’re the ones that buy the tickets. They’re the ones that watch Big Noon Kickoff. God bless them. This is the United States of America. You’ve got an opinion, that’s your opinion. But for someone to say, you know, I would handle things differently than Ryan Day, you know, come on. I mean, name one human being on this planet that has more experience and is better at managing quarterbacks than Ryan Day. I can’t, and I’ve been around the game my entire life. I can’t name one. He’s as good as there is,” explained Meyer. “So, in Ryan we trust. You’re fine. It’s a new quarterback. Was a little clunky, yeah. But okay, they won by three scores. Let’s have a really good Tuesday, Wednesday practice, fix it and move on. 

“So once again, what do I have to say about the doubters? All good, you know. Give your opinion, but if you can name one person that walks the planet that’s more qualified to do what they’re doing than Ryan Day … and that stuff, I’d like to shake that person’s hand. Because I’ve got news, that person does not exist.”

Alas, it’s evident Meyer is preaching patience with Day and the Buckeyes, believing Ohio State will be just fine.
