After some pretty big news, we had to change up our five bold predictions for the Akron game.

Kyle McCord gets the ball and has a day

Will it be Jack Miller or Kyle McCord that gets the nod in place of Stroud? We say it’s going to be McCord based on where things appeared to be during fall camp. However, don’t be surprised if Miller also gets some snaps, and maybe, just maybe, we’ll get a small glimpse of another quarterback in mop-up today.

But wait. Not only will McCord start, but he’s going to show well. You can almost bet on the Ohio State coaches running the ball a bushel because of the situation, but Day has never been one to completely take his foot off the gas. McCord is a 5-star recruit that can sling it with accuracy, so he’s going to put up some decent numbers. We say he throws for over 250 yards in this one to the surprise of many.
