It’s pretty easy to see who should be starting with the first-team offense in practices before the LiFEsports Spring Game, Kyle McCord. What happens in the game really will not tell us much. Do any spring games? As I said before, this will not end in April, but we should expect to know who has the advantage heading in the fall. That should be McCord as well. If it’s not, it would be a very interesting development.
It’s hard to think it will not be McCord starting this season, but there should be a package for Brown to play as well. A red zone or goal line set of plays for Brown should be installed. It would be good for two reasons. First, it would get Brown legit experience. Second, it would make teams think about what the Buckeyes might do when he is in.
In C.J. Stroud’s first year as a starter, with no previous collegiate experience, he threw for 4,435 yards, 44 touchdowns and 6 interceptions. Could McCord put up similar numbers? Yes, but the bigger question is will he. I still expect the offense to put up big scoring numbers but with the deep stable of running backs and a first-time starting quarterback (not counting McCord’s start in 2021), an aerial attack similar to what we’ve seen the last two years probably isn’t in the cards.
