Ryan Day reveals QB grades from Ohio State’s latest scrimmage
By Rolando Rosa
Published:
Ryan Day still hasn’t made a decision on his starting quarterback heading into the regular season opener at Indiana. The competition has been fierce this offseason between junior Kyle McCord and sophomore Devin Brown.
So much so that Ohio State’s head coach is deliberately mulling his choice. Day recently announced that the Buckeyes’ staff was “split right down the middle” regarding McCord and Brown.
No starting quarterback announcement yet. Ryan Day said neither Kyle McCord nor Devin Brown has won or lost the job yet. “Our staff feels confident with both of them.” He said he asked the staff this weekend who they thought should start, and it was “split right down the middle.”

Day added that there’s the possibility both quarterbacks will see action against Indiana because of his confidence in both.
Day said he took a straw poll of the staff and said it was almost split in the middle. Said there’s a chance both McCord and Brown will play in the opener. Said he’s pleased with their progress.

McCord passed for 190 yards, 1 touchdown and no interceptions last season in his 7 appearances for the Buckeyes. Brown arrived at Ohio State in 2022 as the nation’s No. 5 quarterback according to 247Sports.
Whoever gets the nod will enter with history on his side, as Ohio State is riding a 27-game winning streak vs. Indiana. Ohio State routed Indiana 56-14 last season. The Hoosiers’ last victory in the series dates back to 1988.
