Ohio State Football

The Ohio State Buckeyes finally have a starting quarterback, at least for their season opener at Indiana. Head Coach Ryan Day picked Kyle McCord to lead the No. 3 Buckeyes against the Hoosiers on Saturday.

The Big Ten’s final season with a 14-team, two-division setup should play out the way it has since the conference last expanded in 2014. That means an East team will win the championship and it probably will be Michigan or Ohio State.

Kyle McCord will be the starting quarterback when No. 3 Ohio State opens the season Saturday at Indiana. Buckeye coach Ryan Day said fellow quarterback Devin Brown would probably play in the opener.

The starter will be expected to win every regular-season game, lead the Buckeyes over Michigan for the first time in three years, return the team to the College Football Playoff and win the national championship for the first time since the 2014 season.

A group of Big Ten presidents has begun discussing the possibility of adding more West Coast schools to the conference if the Pac-12 continues to crumble, according to two people familiar with the conversations.

The Houston Texans made a splash in the NFL draft Thursday night, getting their franchise quarterback by drafting C.J. Stroud at No. 2.

Wearing a track suit on NFL draft night like Deion Sanders did would be scoffed at today with top players gathering for a televised event that has become as much runway show as sporting event.

Ohio State offensive coordinator Brian Hartline has been hospitalized Sunday after an UTV accident on his property.

The race pits third-year backup Kyle McCord, who has seen limited action in his first two seasons, against second-year player Devin Brown.

Their accuser told investigators that both men forced themselves on her at an off-campus apartment.
