After a long and highly scrutinized offseason of competition, the Ohio State football program finally has its starting quarterback. After two games of playing both (sort of), it was clear that Kyle McCord was the more poised and talented option under center.

We get paid to give our opinions on these sorts of things, so of course we are going to weigh in on the news as Ohio State prepares to take on Western Kentucky on Saturday. No other position on the football field gets put under the microscope more than the quarterback position, so it probably won’t be the last time we debate this topic either.
For this week’s Buckeye Battle Cry roundtable, we decided to stay on the topic of quarterback on the banks of the Olentangy and were giving each of our writers a chance to put keyboard to screen.

As always, someone has to start this thing off so we’ll throw it over to Michael Chen to get this debate going.
