I'm really impressed with the way McCord showed up on campus and immediately became a leader.  We could see that with the All-Access ACC series in so many ways, and then it showed up immediately in game 1 and has continued each week.

He truly is a coach on the field. He worked extra with the receivers in the Spring and Fall camp, and from the get-go he has been throwing and connecting on back-shoulder throws with multiple guys, throwing receivers open, and connecting on deep balls. If defenses take away the run McCord is not shy at all about throwing the ball downfield and he does it with accuracy.  When he makes a mistake, which is rare, he shakes it off and moves on the next play or the next possession. The occasional miscommunication with receivers makes sense considering how little time these guys have spent together.

In short McCord choosing SU football has been a blessing for this program, and I hope it is a blessing for him as well. I hope he can continue to take what the defense gives, continue to improve communication with the receivers, and learn how to slide.  Showing that he can slide does add value for the team but also for his prospects at the next level and it might help to keep him healthy.  Would love to see him play the entire season.

Go Cuse!!
