Ohio State Balancing Backup QB Kyle McCord’s Opportunities With Respect For Game
Ohio State sophomore quarterback Kyle McCord has performed 53 snaps this season in reduction of starter C.J. Stroud, trying simply 16 passes whereas handing the ball off or working it himself a mixed 37 occasions.
However seeing as he’s possible going to be the starter subsequent season after Stroud departs for the NFL, it begs the query of whether or not or not the Buckeyes ought to give McCord extra probabilities to throw the ball within the closing minutes of blowouts.
“It’s clearly drawback to have, don’t get me mistaken, however it’s one thing that you just simply wish to be sure to respect the sport,” head coach Ryan Day mentioned throughout his press convention on Tuesday afternoon. “On the similar time, you do wish to get him going slightly bit.”
McCord threw two passes after he entered Saturday’s 49-20 win over Michigan State within the third quarter, together with a four-yard completion to large receiver Jayden Ballard and a 12-yarder to walk-on Reis Stocksdale on consecutive drives to start out the fourth.
The opposite 14 snaps, in the meantime, have been both handoffs to freshman working again Dallan Hayden and walk-on T.C. Caffey or quarterback keepers because the Buckeyes tried to expire the clock on a 29-point victory.
“You begin to get inside 5 or 6 minutes within the fourth quarter whenever you’re up in a lopsided recreation, and I simply wish to make sure that I respect the sport in that space,” Day mentioned. “Definitely, we wish to get him within the recreation if it’s the top of the third quarter, early fourth quarter, and get some first downs and let him go play.”
Final weekend, Alabama quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Younger was unable to play in opposition to Texas A&M attributable to a shoulder harm, exhibiting simply how shortly an harm to Stroud may thrust McCord into motion.
His backup, redshirt freshman Jalen Milroe, accomplished 12-of-19 passes for 111 yards and three touchdowns in his absence, but in addition misplaced two fumbles and threw an interception within the Crimson Tide’s 24-20 win over the Aggies.

If the Buckeyes ever discover themselves in that scenario, although, it’s value noting McCord already has one begin beneath his belt, as he threw for 319 yards and two touchdowns with an interception in final 12 months’s 59-7 win over Akron, when Stroud was resting his personal injured throwing shoulder.
That alone offers McCord extra expertise than Stroud had throughout his true freshman season, when he performed simply eight snaps and didn’t throw a single cross. Now take a look at Stroud, whose 68 landing passes are the second most in class historical past.
Maybe that’s why Day isn’t too involved with McCord throwing a handful of passes in opposition to a second- or third-string protection. Maybe he already is aware of what McCord has to supply and the way simply he may run the rating up.
“It’s good to get him within the recreation, get whoever within the recreation, whether or not it’s the quarterback or anyone else,” Day mentioned. “Getting these recreation reps beneath your belt is completely different than follow, for positive, however that’s simply the way in which I’ve all the time believed the sport must be performed.

“Once you’re rolling and also you’re within the third quarter, starting of the fourth quarter, go play. However whenever you begin to get to the top of these video games and so they get slightly lopsided, I feel that’s simply the way in which to respect the sport.”

Zaxby’s, a popular fried chicken chain, is getting its first Ohio location in Liberty Township.
A 56-seat Zaxby’s restaurant and drive-thru is planned to open at Freedom Pointe, next to Costco. The development, which was initially planned to be a hotel, will also house three other eateries: E+O Kitchen, which has locations at The Banks, Hyde Park and Loveland; Bismarck Donut and Coffee Shop and El Rancho Grande, said Christy Gloyd, Liberty Township’s marketing and events manager.
Costco opened near Interstate 75 on Cox Road in 2022. Construction on the new restaurants starts this summer, Gloyd said.
“We’re just really excited to be growing over there at Freedom Pointe,” she told The Enquirer. “Having Costco as the anchor is huge. Just to have another family-friendly restaurant and have the variety – to have the Zaxby’s and E+O and El Rancho Grande – I think it’s really going to be a nice offering for our residents.”
Atlanta-headquartered Zaxby’s has over 900 locations in 17 states, mostly in the South and Midwest. The chain is known for its chicken fingers and wings, sandwiches and salads. The closest Zaxby’s locations currently open are over an hour away, in Shelbyville, Indiana and Louisville, Kentucky.
Sales for license plates featuring Dolly Parton’s face began Monday for $25. All proceeds will go to fund her Imagination Library

The Columbus Dispatch
Fans of country music legend Dolly Parton can show off their pride for the singer with a new Ohio license plate.
Ohio drivers can now purchase license plates featuring Parton for $25. The money from each plate will go to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library of Ohio, a charity that gives children ages 5 and younger a free book each month. The state began selling the plates Monday.
Specifically, the funds will go to the purchaser’s local county program of the library, which it says will pay for mailing a child 12 books, enough for an entire year. Ohio is the second state to offer a license plate supporting the library after Parton’s home state of Tennessee.
First lady Fran DeWine has focused on expanding the Imagination Library in Ohio since her husband Gov. Mike DeWine took office in 2019. She was inspired when she saw her grandchildren receive books through the program and by 2020, it had expanded to all of Ohio’s 88 counties.
“I’m excited to see Ohio as the second state to offer a specialty Dolly Parton license plate to support her program, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, in Ohio,” Fran DeWine said in a press release. “With each purchase, $25 will go back to supporting the local program, helping to ensure the program remains available to all families in Ohio.”
The plates are available to purchase online at OPlates.com or in-person at a local deputy registrar license agency.
Gov. DeWine signed House Bill 315 which included the Parton Plates on Jan. 2. The original bill, sponsored by Senate Minority Leader Nickie Antonio, D-Lakewood, received unanimous yes votes in both chambers before the license plate language was put into the larger HB 315.
