The Prediction
Ohio State quarterback Kyle McCord started the 2023 season in competition with Devin Brown to become the Buckeyes' QB1.
The 6-foot-3, 216-pound signal-caller was inconsistent in Ohio State's season opener with Indiana, completing only 20 of 33 passes for 239 yards and one interception. The following week, the battle between McCord and Brown continued against Youngstown State. Still, McCord greatly improved, completing 14 of 20 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns – a performance that resulted in Ryan Day naming him the full-time starter ahead of Week 3. Against Western Kentucky, McCord completed 19 of 23 passes for 318 yards and three scores.
While McCord has undoubtedly bettered his play, the question remains: What kind of performance will he have in Ohio State's primetime matchup with Notre Dame?
Correctly predict Kyle McCord's passing yards on Saturday and win a $75 gift card from Eleven Warriors Dry Goods. As always, roll with the Price is Right rules – the prize will be awarded to the closest prediction without going over.
Good luck!
