On Saturday afternoon, Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Kyle McCord had a chance to impress coaches and fans in the team’s annual spring game as he tries to earn the team’s starting quarterback job this offseason. But based on some comments from his head coach, it doesn’t sound like he did that.
According to Eleven Warriors, Ohio State head coach Ryan Day had one word to describe the performance from Kyle McCord: “inconsistent.”
“I think what you saw in the game was similar to what you’ve seen in practice. Some good things, some things that you’d like to see a little bit better. But he’s growing,” Day said in his postgame press conference according to Eleven Warriors. “I think that the picture sometimes was clean, other times not as clean. I think Marvin only played a couple drives there and then he was out, and certainly not having Emeka and Julian and those guys.
“But you saw there was some sparks. I thought the throw to Carnell was an excellent one. But there’s stuff that he wants to look to improve on. So we’ll get on the film and figure out what that was. It’s hard out there because there’s so much going on. It’s going fast because you’re calling it back and forth. So overall, 15 practices, and there was improvement there.”
McCord will continue to compete with teammate Devin Brown in the fall for Ohio State’s starting quarterback spot.
