Published: Nov. 2, 2023, 7 a.m.

Kyle McCord is eight games into being Ohio State's starting quarterback this season and his performance may have some mixed reviews among fans.\nHe\u2019s had his fair share of quality moments on his way to 2,163 yards and 14 touchdowns while averaging 9.4 yards per attempt. Those numbers are paired with an 8-0 record which features two wins over top 15 opponents while leading a team that debuted at No. 1 in the College Football Playoff rankings.\nBut he\u2019s also had some no-so-good moments that have often directly led to points not being on the board and resulting in a 64.1 completion percentage which has become uncharacteristic for OSU quarterbacks.\nEight games in, how should fans feel about their new quarterback?\nOn this Thursday Buckeye Talk, Stephen Means, Nathan Baird and Andrew Gillis take a step back while allowing the Texters to carry the podcast with their thoughts on McCord.\nThanks for listening to Buckeye Talk.\nLearn more about your ad choices.
