Ohio State football vs. Indiana: Five and out halftime review

The Buckeyes have looked…. #GoBucks

The [autotag]Ohio State Buckeye football[/autotag] team are currently struggling with the Indiana Hoosiers in their 2023 season opener to the tune of 10-3 despite the spread being north of four touchdowns.

Heading into halftime, quarterback [autotag]Kyle McCord[/autotag] is the leading passer with 94 passing yards. Running back [autotag]TreVeyon Henderson[/autotag] has looked impressive with 40 rushing yards and tight end [autotag]Cade Stover[/autotag] is surprisingly the leading receiver with 33 receiving yards.

Backup quarterback [autotag]Devin Brown[/autotag] has also seen action at quarterback as the coaching staff is clearly waiting for someone to pop and make an impact.

This Ohio State squad doesn’t look ready to play so let’s dive into five things that were noticed throughout the first half.

Next up a quarterback for Ohio State: Part 3: The conclusion

How it could play out in about 8 months #GoBucks

We are finally here, the last of a three-part series looking at which candidate, [autotag]Kyle McCord[/autotag] or [autotag]Devin Brown[/autotag], has the leg up in the race to be [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag]’s quarterback in 2023.

I will reiterate I don’t believe this contest will be called early. Given the fairly easy early schedule ([autotag]Indiana[/autotag],  [autotag]Youngstown State[/autotag] and [autotag]Western Kentucky[/autotag]), this battle potentially could go into the season. If it does, [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] needs to make a choice before traveling to South Bend.

Part 1 of this series focused on McCord. The second focused on Brown. Now we will put that information together and handicap the race. My final takes on each of them and a prediction prior to spring practices and fall camp of what we will see in 2023 for Ohio State at quarterback.

Watch: Ohio State signee WR Carnell Tate catches touchdown pass in All-American Bowl

Tate has star potential and showed it again #GoBucks

[autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] doesn’t have just one star receiver on his way to Columbus during this off-season, it has multiple star receivers. One of them scored earlier in the [autotag]All-American Bowl[/autotag], [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag], and another, [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag], joined him.

Tate has been targeted plenty by [autotag]UCLA[/autotag] signee [autotag]Dante Moore[/autotag]. He is having a solid game, but he put an exclamation point on his performance with this second quarter catch. Moore found Tate streaking over the middle of the field, threw a great ball that the future Buckeye caught and ran into the end zone for a 29-yard touchdown strike. It was a big time play by Tate.

The play went for 29-yards and surely confirmed what Ohio State head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and wide receivers coach [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag] saw during Tate’s recruitment. It’s a position room that is deep and talented.

247Sports gives a report on Ohio State WR Noah Rogers performance at Under Armor All-American Bowl

The Buckeyes signed another very good wide receiver #GoBucks

The [autotag]Under Armor All-American Bowl[/autotag] was played Tuesday, and there wasn’t as much scoring as you would expect from a high school all-star game. The teams combined for 21 points, with one of the touchdowns coming from a pick-six.

That meant that [autotag]Ohio State[/autotag] signee [autotag]Noah Rogers[/autotag] didn’t get many opportunities to shine, but 247Sports was on hand for the whole week. With so many impressive players, not everyone gets time during the game but an impression can still be made during practice.

Rogers did exactly that. Andrew Ivins reported he “has some of the tools needed to eventually emerge as a go-to option for quarterbacks on Saturdays.”

He is part of another impressive wide receiver recruiting haul for head coach [autotag]Ryan Day[/autotag] and wide receiver coach [autotag]Brian Hartline[/autotag], which includes [autotag]Brandon Inniss[/autotag], [autotag]Carnell Tate[/autotag] and [autotag]Bryson Rodgers[/autotag].

If the report is correct, we should see Rogers performing at a high level for the Buckeyes sooner rather than later even if he didn’t shine during the game.
