Kyle McCord proved he is up to the challenge in the clutch moments of big football games, while Ohio State's pass rush and short-yardage offense still have work to do.
Four games into the season, Stover is already at 240 receiving yards, an average of 60 yards per game. Even if Ohio State only plays 13 games in 2023, that would put him on pace for 780 yards. The record in a season by a Buckeye tight end is 671, set by Billy Anders in 1966. Stover picked up 52 yards on seven receptions against Notre Dame, providing McCord with a key safety valve.
Yes, Ohio State won its game against Notre Dame in a short-yardage situation, a 1-yard plunge on 3rd-and-goal from Chip Trayanum. It also failed to convert two times on 4th-and-1 against the Fighting Irish and went 1-for-3 on its third-down attempts from 2 yards or fewer prior to Trayanum’s run. After a 2-for-8 start on 3rd-and-3 or less in the first three weeks of the season, short-yardage situations are still an issue for the Buckeyes to address going into their bye week.
