Was former quarterback Kyle McCord happy to see Ohio State lose to Michigan last Saturday?
His answer didn’t necessarily indicate that he was happy about the Buckeyes loss, but he did seem justified and fulfilled in knowing that he wasn’t the problem with the program.
He went on the Dan Le Batard Show and discussed just about everything.
Included in that were a few notes on Ohio State, where he played his first three college seasons while starting last season alongside star wide receiver and top-five pick Marvin Harrison Jr.
After a falling out at Ohio State, McCord transferred to Syracuse, where he shined. The Orange took down the then-top-10 Miami Hurricanes in the last week of the season, topping off a terrific season for the signal-caller.
That said, here’s how he answered the question of whether or not he was happy Ohio State lost.
“I know Coach Fran said it the other day,” McCord said. “Everybody was trying to make it seem like I was the problem there and I think you see the results and I don’t think you can say that now.”
McCord ended the 2024 season, assuming he’ll not play in the Orange’s bowl game, with an ACC-high 4,326 passing yards. He had the most passing completions, passing attempts, and interceptions in the conference.
It was a strong season despite his consistent turnovers. He’ll now turn his attention to the NFL Draft, where he hopes to hear his name called in just a few short months.
