Class of 2021 QB Kyle McCord (NJ) TRANSFERRING TO SYRACUSE (12/17/23)

[PAcuse]

I wonder if anyone remembers this OSU QB transfer (Pete Prather) under Maloney.
Let us pray it's not a Pete Prather situation:

I know. I'm dating myself.
Well, no one else will. (I'll see myself out)

why are we doing this...

 

[Faegan]

Tons of tweets by them saying how much of a downgrade this is for him and a career killer. Typical smugness. I get it, OSU is a blue blood but talking like Syracuse is like an FCS school drives me nuts.

Nothing will change that except consistent winning.

 

[Cusesky8214]

Seems like his teammates all liked kyle. There's been a lot of garbage posted the past few days about him.

We're not doing this. It's a sarcasm font post (although it did actually happen).
McCord is a Fran Brown Xmas present with a big Buckeye bow on it.
Carry on smartly fellow Orangepeople.

Some people will say “ well he had the best Wr in the country” he is definitely not as good as Stroud but looking at Kyle’s stats compared to Strouds in 2022 the only difference is Egbuka. He accounted for 1000 receiving yards out of Strouds 3600. Egbuka only had 450 5 TD’s this year. For some reason McCord didnt get on the same page with him. Is that all on McCord? Egbuka, game planning, scheming should share some blame as well. Can’t all be on Kyle

Egbuka had a big drop in the Michigan game early … he hasn’t looked the same this season.

My family member who is a TOSU alum said it was all about NIL.

Poverty program. Sad.

Anyone bad mouthing him or making excuses is a jilted lover. Wah

Per my OSU friends their oline wasn’t nearly as good this season either. Who knows?

Egbuka missed three games this season with an injury and wasn't nearly as effective in the games after he came back.

Egbuka had injury issues this year. IMO, not McCord’s fault. Egbuka toughed out a lot of games.

 

[jr4750]

McCord has a grand total of 13 career starts. I'm going to make the crazy statement that players actually get better with experience. By the way, the second interception in the Michigan game was with 24 seconds left and he got hit as he threw the ball.

My thinking too. He is very likely to get better next year. His first year starting and his numbers were very solid.

 

[Crusty]

Why does anyone care about any of this negative horse crap. Guy is a proven talent WAY above what anyone hoped for in our wildest dreams. Welcome Kyle!!

 

[JDubbin]

I’m just gonna go ahead & make this my new commitment thing now… hopefully plenty more “Denzel’s” to come

Prather comes in the game against ranked Maryland after both Hurley and Farneski, a frosh qb from New Jersey get hurt. He leads us to two td's and never plays again at QB

Ok. Gotcha

 

[kingtidge]

Poverty program. Sad.

Went to a game in Columbus last year... The OSU fans really know how to tailgate... That said, the horseshoe is big, but it's kinda a dump, honestly.

ok. And he still threw for 2000 yards to guys other than MHJ

 

[MikeSU02]

Yup.

Not too shabby.

 

[Lukeyloo]

I hope this leads to OG staying another year. Pretty please…

 

[jordville]

he lost to Michigan - the most heinous thing possible in the eyes of OSU fans.

Their fans make it out like McCord lost the last 3 games to Michigan...

And next season he’ll have the best TE in the country and a top 10 RB

 

[capeorange]

Don't mean to pile on or be negative...but this was NEVER even a option if Dino was here.

I was told by some that he didn't bother offering high quality players because they would never even come for an OV. I guess that way of thinking just became out dated.

 

[capeorange]

Is it too late to get Michigan on the schedule for next year? I want to beat them with McCord…..at the Big House no less.

Should we bring the banner?
