Kyle McCord thinks Ohio State has a ‘scary good’ freshman who’s patiently waiting his turn: Buckeye Breakfast

COLUMBUS, Ohio — Add Ohio State’s starting quarterback to the list of people who are excited about Carnell Tate’s future.

Kyle McCord got asked about the player who caught his only touchdown pass during the 2023 Spring Game. Just as his high school teammate and top target Marvin Harrison Jr. once did, McCord didn’t mince words about the potential of the freshman receiver.

“Carnell’s been ready since the day he got here,” Tate said. “He was extremely polished. Obviously spending the last eight months with Coach (Brian) Hartline and Coach (Ryan) Day shaping up his game, he’s gonna be scary good.”

So far this season Tate’s role has been limited to just 62 snaps catching five passes for 83 yards and a touchdown as a guy learning behind Harrison, Emeka Egbuka and Julian Fleming. The potential absence of Egbuka against Purdue may provide a chance for him to get more opportunities on Saturday. Though more than likely that will mean more for Xavier Johnson.

Tate is patiently waiting his turn just as the guys ahead of him once had to do. As he waits, he’s continuing to turn heads in a way that suggests that the expected departures at the front of the wide receiver room won’t leave a void that won’t eventually be filled.

“I think it’s not if, but when for Carnell,” McCord said. “Whenever that is, he’s gonna take off.

Washington AD randomly calls out Ohio State

The Huskies are headed to the Big Ten next summer and their athletic director Troy Dannen already has a few things to say about one of the conference’s most established athletic departments.

In an interview with Seattle sports radio station 93.3 KJR, Dannen expressed his thoughts on whether he thinks having a bigger budget as an athletic department is a factor of success. He doesn’t think so putting the value more on the people who work in those departments then the money used.

It may be a fair point to make for someone trying to highlight the people working for him. But he did so while also feeling the need to take a jab at the Buckeyes.

“If budgets won championships, Ohio State and Texas would win everything — and they haven’t won much lately,” Dannen said.

The basis of his argument was part of a broad topic concerning Name, Images and Likeness and how it’s used to build athletic programs. The usage of OSU and the Longhorns is inspired by USA TODAY’s June revenue and expense report which ranked them as the top two programs in total revenue with Alabama, Michigan and Georgia completing the top five.

So that’s the two-time reigning national champion in the Bulldogs, two-time reigning Big Ten champions in the Wolverines, a Crimson Tide program that’s been the standard of college football for the past decade and an Ohio State program that’s had three College Football Playoff appearances in four years. Plus a Texas team that even after losing to Oklahoma last Saturday is still in a position to get its first playoff appearance if it wins out.

That’s without getting into the recruiting prowess of all of these programs. It would seem that contrary to Dannen’s words, there are plenty of benefits that having a big budget can afford you.

Black Stripe Alert

Joshua Mickens became the latest Ohio State newcomer to lose his black stripe in a tradition that makes a player an ‘official’ Buckeye.

Mickens was one of the final additions to OSU’s 2023 recruiting class as the No. 119 player and No. 17 edge rusher committing on during the first day of the early signing period last December after originally committing to LSU. As a senior at Lawrence Central High School in Indiana, he recorded 74 tackles, 20.5 tackles for loss and 6.5 sacks. His recruitment marked the first real sign of a player who was brought in with Jim Knowles’ jack position in mind.

The former four-star recruit is the 15 member of the Buckeyes’ freshman class to lose his black stripe and final member of Larry Johnson’s three-man defensive line class alongside Jason Moore and Kayden McDonald. All three arrived over the summer.

WWE Money In The Bank 2024 Winners And Grades

Liv Morgan Def. Rhea Ripley

Despite all the talk of The Judgment Day competing by themselves, Dominik Mysterio accompanied Rhea Ripley to the ring.

Michael Cole noted the last time Rhea Ripley lost a singles match was 26 months ago. To Liv Morgan.

This match started as a cat-and-mouse as Liv ran away from Ripley. Fans became frustrated and booed Liv loudly.

Rhea dominated this match until Liv Morgan dodged a charging Ripley and followed up by throwing her, shoulder-first, into the turnbuckle. Ripley could be heard (kayfabe) saying “it’s out, it’s out!”

Fans were split as they made dueling chants of “let’s go Rhea/let’s go Liv!”

Liv Morgan (kayfabe) popped her shoulder back into place by running herself into the announce table and fans went crazy.

Ripley hit the riptide, but did not pin Morgan. Instead, she grabbed a steel chair that Morgan brought into the ring. Mysterio grabbed the chair from her, which was the wise decision because she would have gotten herself disqualified. This led to an Oblivion for a nearfall and “holy s—t” chants.

Dom distracted the ref, leading to an Oblivion on the steel chair for the win. After the match, Dominik Mysterio kissed Liv Morgan and they left together.

Backstage, Damian Priest was furious with Dominik Mysterio for his actions. Finn and the rest of the Judgment Day vowed to go find him. I don’t trust them.

Rhea Ripley vs. Liv Morgan Grade: A-

Bron Breakker Def. Sami Zayn

Bron Breakker hit his always impressive Breakkensteiner early on, then he proceeded to scream “quit!” at Sami Zayn.

Bron Breakker cut Sami Zayn off with a Spear, then he hit ayn with another Spear for the win. This wasn’t necessarily a squash match, but it was definitely a dominant win for Breakker.

Bron Breakker vs. Sami Zayn Grade: B

LA Knight Def. Logan Paul

Logan Paul wore a Cleveland-inspired American Flag vest and greeted two security guards on his way to the ring. One of hte security guards turned out to be Cleveland’s own MGK.

LA Knight shattered the glass on Logan Paul’s Prime vehicle before making his way to the ring.

Paul cleared the table, but LA Knight got the better of him with a modified TKO, though the table didn’t break.

Paul won these people over with a springboard moonsault on LA Knight. Though they cheered the spot, they eventually came to their senses and chanted “you still suck!”

After jumping up on the top rope, LA Knight hit a scary looking superplex. Fans chanted “this is awesome” after a nearfall.

Logan Paul borrowed brass knuckles from MGK. After a shot to LA Knight, Knight countered with a BFT.

Logan Paul vs. LA Knight Grade: A-

Nia Jax Def. Bayley

Bayley relentlessly knocked Nia Jax off her feet early in the match.

Nia Jax took control of the match, to the point where she hit the Annihilator, but Bayley kicked out.

Jax called herself “reckless” and “clumsy” while trash-talking Bayley on offense.

Bayley hit an awesome power bomb on Nia Jax from the top rope. The fans were fervently into a match that struggled to follow Logan Paul vs. LA Knight.

A Tiffany Stratton cash-in was thwarted by Bayley, but the distraction led to two power bombs and two Annihilators for the win.

Nia Jax vs. Bayley Grade: A-

Drew McIntyre Def. CM Punk

Seth Rollins walked out in a long cloak, and what was under the jacket was certain to be even wilder.

WWE used ref cameras on the referee’s ear, and there were never more ref cam shots than during Seth Rollins’ entrance.

Rollins’ referee outfit were baggy, bedazzled pants and a cutoff shirt similar to Shawn Michaels.

Fans chanted “CM Punk” to start the match as punk donned pink gear in homage to Bret Hart.

Rollins did a great job working the fans into a frenzy before ringing the bell. When the bell rang, Punk and McIntyre brawled like crazy.

Instead of counting to 10 while Punk and McIntyre were outside of the ring, Rollins instead chose to tie his shoes. Rollins also took immense pleasure in seeing Punk and Rollins beat the hell out of one another.

During an Anaconda Vice on McIntyre, Punk secured his friendship bracelet and the entire stadium celebrated.

Punk stopped his GTS on McIntyre dead in its tracks and confronted Rollins about wearing his bracelet, which Rollins picked up off the ground did wear, but out of no malice.

After a ref bump and a nearfall (followed by a second visual pinfall), Punk and Rollins got into a heated argument. Punk hit a Go To Sleep on Rollins and took his bracelet back, but it cost him the match.

Drew McIntyre vs. CM Punk Grade: B+

GUNTHER Def. Damian Priest

Finn Balor wished Damian Priest luck before the match. Famous last words.

GUNTHER already had chop marks on his chest before the match even started.

GUNTHER and Priest chopped the hell out of one another to the point where GUNTHER was bleeding from the chest.

Finn Balor hit the ring, presumably to save Priest, but he ended up costing Priest the WWE World Heavyweight Championship by putting GUNTHER’s leg on the bottom rope.

After this match, Jelly Roll, The Miz and R-Truth took out A-Town Down Under.

GUNTHER vs. Damian Priest Grade: B+

Cody Rhodes Def. Solo Sikoa

Cody Rhodes ran into Arn Anderson backstage, and Anderson said he called in a few favors to a few allies of Cody Rhodes. Some of whom he knows, some he doesn’t.
