McCord or Allar. Who would you rather have this year?
- Thread starter Psugo823
- Start date
I tend to favor guys that play for penn state, maybe just me.
Objectively, it's tough to argue who is better with their lack of meaningful snaps. Their support says:
-McCord has a year on Allar.
-McCord has better WRs.
-The back field is a coin toss, but advantage OSU strictly because their backs are older.
-I think we have the advantage at TE, but not quite at a Gesicki/Pat F level.
-We might have the OL advantage (we possibly did last year) if we can find a RT.
McCord may also not be a starter. He is in a battle for the job, not a given by any means that he wins it.
Tell that to the OP. Or here's this:
Looking up info on it, it's wild that they pretend that Stroud was guaranteed success. He didn't even throw a pass previous to starting. He may have silenced any doubt quickly, but he wasn't known.
McCord might be gone in that instance but I think they risk losing Brown as well. Both should be starting somewhere and yet there is only one football.
Then McCord is gone. Just like if someone somehow beats out Allar. That's college football in 2023.
The answer to your question is no one knows. I think both have a chance to be special. Hopefully Alalr's the better because we need him to be better.
I seldom disagree with you but no way would I prefer OSU's running backs to Singleton and Kaytron, though I guess you can give the Buckeyes points for greater depth at the position.
Overall, Ohio State lost a lot on offense, still have considerable talent on that side of the ball, but PSU is as good or perhaps a little better. Just my .02
Just trying to be objective and not wear the blue shaded glasses. I certainly would not argue with anyone who gives our backs the nod. And to be honest, I only did because their top 2 are 3rd and 4th year guys vs our guys being Sophs.
The Buckeyes biggest losses are OL related and QB, the latter of which has been plug and play dominance for a decade. I love your optimism. I hope Allar exceeds expectations.
really a tough call. Annalynne is stunning, really. But at this point in my life, I watch more football than TV. So I have to go with football and Allar.
Objectively there is no answer because they have barely played to this point. Anything here is pure speculation.
This is 100% true. However, given our lack of talent at receiver and line that remains suspect (they only appeared to improve after moving to 12 personnel which suggests adding a blocker is what helped) I would go with McCord purely because he is expected to have more mobility. If I were expecting the line to perform as well as it could in this offense and we had more talent at receiver, I would go with Allar who fits what Yurcich does much better.
