Buckeyes' QB Kyle McCord faces his first real test Saturday at No. 9 Notre Dame, and he knows the opportunity is 'a big one.'
McCord played in 12 games and started one while backing up Stroud the past two seasons. But one thing that plays to his advantage as this season gets going is that he already has plenty of reps with Ohio State's top weapon.— overwhelmingly considered to be the best receiver in the country — and McCord went to high school together at St. Joseph's Prep in Philadelphia and won three straight Pennsylvania 6A state championships.
"We have to do whatever we can to win the game, that's the bottom line, whatever it looks like," Day said."We're always looking for balance. There's certain times like last year when we ran the ball a ton down the stretch, and we were good for 5-6 yards per carry. But then there are times where you've gotta throw it more depending on what they are doing and how the game is playing out.
