How did his career look over? He had 24 TDs and 6 INTs playing for Ohio State. He led them to an 11-1 regular season with his only loss at Michigan, where he almost led the Buckeyes to a game winning drive. You thought a guy who was a 5 star QB, who led OSU to a heartbreaking loss and to the doorsteps of the playoff’s career was over? What did you think he was going to do? Not join the transfer portal and sell penny stocks or drive Uber? Pretty wild statement.

Kyle McCord wasn’t a bad quarterback at Ohio State. He just wasn’t spectacular. His numbers were very solid, and he even had some big moments. Ohio State is just used to Heisman contending quarterbacks over the last decade or so. I’m glad he’s doing well at Syracuse.

[@darthsilversith667]

It wasn’t that “he was deemed not good enough to start at Ohio State anymore”… he wanted to have the starting spot guaranteed for this year and Day wasn’t willing to guarantee that for him. He likely would have been if he stuck around but it just rubbed people the wrong way that he wasn’t willing to compete for it. I am however happy for him that things are going well at Syracuse. I have since realized that we as Ohio State fans were to hard on him and that Day should probably carry more of the blame for last year. Just not sold on Day at all anymore.. he can get the talent here but he can’t get his ducks lined up when it matters most.

[@Thecommish777]

I said before the season that Kyle McCord was better than Will Howard. Because he is. If you know QB's and I have coached them on the HS level, you can see that McCord is more technically sound and has a better arm. Based on Howard's last play at Oregon, it seems McCord is smarter as well. It was total panic mode by OSU to blame him for the loss to Michigan. On the pick in the Michigan game on the pass intended for Harrison Jr., it looked to me like Harrison was not expecting the ball so soon. Which means one of two things. Harrison missed an audible or he didn't read the same coverage McCord did. That was not a downfield desperation pass, it was a quick throw with total miscommunication in my opinion. Not only is McCord in the top 3 in passing this year, He is the best pure passer in the country. He has elevated the entire team. Syracuse is sneaky good. They made a Bowl last year with the tight end playing QB the last three games because all QB's were injured. That means the cupboard was not exactly bare for Fran Brown. If I were a HC in college, I would not want to play them.

[@InohiHsohba]

Saw this video this morning and said to my self…. “Just wait until he’s on national tv”… it’s now 8:58 pm. He’s got 3 interceptions in the first half and 2 pick 6s….

[@hartsickdisciple]

Then the Miami game happened and he ended up leading the nation in passing yards. Top 10 in Heisman votes and turned Syracuse into a 10-win team. That Pitt game is nothing more than a blip on the radar at this point.

[@p.scottrice8235]

[@adamvalerino6474]

I'm a Syracuse fan and our team is very good and has the potential to be great. They need to clean up some things on defense and get some players back from injuries on both sides of the ball and if that happens I wouldn't be surprised if this team goes 9-3 or 10-2. At Pitt will be tough but we're getting back CB Marcellus Barnes Jr and LB Merlow Wax and he's a leader on defense. If they can beat Pitt on the road. I wouldn't be surprised if they are 10-1 going into the Miami game. A win against Pitt would be 3-0 against top 25 teams for the season we'll see what happens we've been without Zeed Haynes at WR too for 4 games now as well he could be back any time and would give us a nice deep threat.

I'm here after he led Syracuse to a 10-3 season, including a comeback win over Miami where he had 380 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs. Kyle led the nation in passing yards and finished top 10 in Heisman votes. The Pitt game is a footnote at this point.

[@224L]

All that is awesome but that doesn’t mean 3 pick 6s in the first half is ‘a footnote’ even if it’s not all his fault. That is definitely something that will be remembered far beyond his great season. I graduated from SU and think McCord was great this year overall, but that anomaly game is a moment in CFB history, his season overall was not.

@@hartsickdisciple if you want an example, do most people remember Nathan Peterman for scoring 52 TDs in college or do most people remember him for throwing 5 ints in the 1st half of his NFL start?

[@CuseVegas]

Great video. I have been watching Cuse games for the past 35 years, and McCord is clearly a future starting pro QB based on all that I have seen over. When I think of obvious pros playing in college, I think of guys like Freeney or McNabb, and opponents like Torry Holt, Edge James, Michael Vick, etc. McCord is an incredibily accurate thrower... you will rarely ever see someone who can throw it like him.

[@hartsickdisciple]

He throws one of the tightest spirals I've ever seen.

[@williamschreckenstein3453]

@@Lightning_Wolf567 you have no idea what the hell you are talking about. Lets set the record straight since it is readily obvious you haven't watched their games: a. ) BC wasn't ranked when SU played them that was UNLV (still ranked) and GT (who just beat Miami), so again wrong. b.) McCord leads the NCAA in passing with nearly 4K yards and is roughly 200 yards ahead of Cam Ward who he plays this Saturday. c.) McCord is the only QB in the country to complete more than 50 passes to at least 4 different players (no other QB has more than 2) d.) McCord has thrown a touchdown pass to 7 different receivers (just as many as Heisman finalist Cam Ward) e.) McCord has had 4 different 100 yard in a game receivers this season and nearly had a 5th in JRS (he had 88 vs VT) f.) McCord has thrown for over 300 yards in every game except 1 g.) If a ball hits a receivers hands and is deflected to a defender he is throwing the ball properly., his receiver needs to catch it. McCord can't do it for him. h.) Whether UNLV is G5 or not is regardless as they have beaten three P4s this season (Houston, Kansas who just beat CU and Oregon State). i.) If you wish to base his entire season on 1 game then do it for everyone, 1 bad game doesn't define his season. I think you should actually take the time to watch games instead of passing off baseless comments. SU was predicted to go 5-7 and finish in the lower half of the ACC. They are currently 8-3 and 1 win away from a tie for third place. Just because you don't like McCord doesn't make you sentiments true.

[@pawel2669]

Ohio State fan here. I am happy for him. I did not think highly of him in OSU, but he showed me wrong. For last few years I had questions about Ryan Day, OSU head coach, and McCords success makes me wonder more about Day. He always wins many games, but a lot of his games he arrives commanding high end battle ships against fishing boats, and he tends to lose often against teams that are not completely outclassed by talent (OSU has more talent than 99.9999999999 programs, but coach Day seems to struggle with teams that have players with at least 30% as much talent).

[@darthsilversith667]

I haven’t been a fan of Day for a couple years now. He can’t win the big games that matter most and it’s almost always down to shit coaching.

[@missingbuck]

The one thing I like about Day is his story about battling the stigma. It’s important to speak up on the topic of mental health. That being said, there are some questions that has to be asked about Day. The big games are the ones he struggles with most (Michigan and now Oregon notably). Nice to see McCord shine with the Orange. It’s cooler to see his former teammates continue to root him on in his Senior Campaign.

[@334ben10]

Why was McCord a question he started one yr, went 11-1, only lost was to the team that won the title, and was very good overall that season. You talking about “he tends to lose often against teams that are not…” but he only lost one game at OSU as starter😂😂😂 this should let you know how delusional and unrealistic fans can be.

[@ttewelow1]

I'm not the most familiar with really much of anything to do with college football, but it seems like Kyle McCord might end up being a suitable replacement for Tua Tagovailoa and the Miami Dolphins. I really don't think Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley are very efficient backup quarterbacks and the Dolphins can't afford to keep putting Tua on the injured reserve list due to concussion protocol. If you know your NFL history, then you would know that the Miami Dolphins have been striving for a 3rd Lombardi trophy for a very long time and it still doesn't seem like they've found their franchise quarterback to lead them back to the Super Bowl and they can't afford to have a quarterback who is as injury prone as the one they have now. He DESPERATELY needs to be replaced and Miami would be wise to move on from him as quickly as possible

[@svt_mike66]

I wish him the best of luck, but all I can say is he definitely wasn't truly ready for "the big games." As an Ohio state fan, you can have a fantastic year, but all that matters is "the big game" against Michigan. Those interceptions are still hard to think about even now.
