Lettermen Live hosted by Roosters
Ohio State finally seemed to get its confidence back in a 59-7 beatdown of Akron on Saturday.
The all-star Lettermen Row crew is back at Roosters to break it all down on the latest episode of Lettermen Live.
Lettermen Row senior writer Austin Ward quarterbacks a team of former Buckeyes linebacker Bobby Carpenter, Nicole Cox of Roosters and Lettermen Row Director of Recruiting Jeremy Birmingham to analyze the Buckeyes performance and where they can go from here.
Day’s offense exploded for more than 600 yards of offense behind quarterback Kyle McCord and an efficient rushing attack. Did McCord prove that he can challenge C.J. Stroud as the Buckeyes starter even if Stroud is healthy?
Of course, the crew had to hit on the K’Vaughan Pope news as well.
You won’t want to miss all that and more Buckeyes news that is featured in the latest episode of Lettermen Live hosted by Roosters.
Kyle McCord named B1G freshman of week, third Ohio State player to do so
Kyle McCord wasn’t flawless in his Ohio State debut.
But the Buckeyes freshman did enough to earn his first Big Ten conference honor.
The league named McCord its Freshman of the Week following for his work on Saturday night against Akron. McCord is the fourth straight Ohio State freshman to win the award and second quarterback this year to be tabbed. Fellow signal-caller C.J. Stroud picked up the honor for his work against Minnesota and Oregon while tailback Treveyon Henderson got the call after decimating Tulsa a week ago.
McCord completed 13-of-18 passes for 319 yards in his first college game and connected on a pair of touchdown throws in his debut. He played the majority of the first half and two series in the second before giving way to redshirt freshman Jack Miller who completed the game for Ohio State.
