The Ohio State offense under new starting quarterback Kyle McCord sputtered in the season opener last week against rebuilding Indiana.
Stover — the team’s leading receiver last week with five catches for 98 yards — doesn’t doubt that McCord and the Buckeyes will have their minds right on Saturday when Youngstown State visits the Horseshoe.
After the Penguins of the FCS, Western Kentucky from Conference USA comes in the week after. Coach Ryan Day wants to use that time to get the offense into some sort of rhythm behind McCord, although he expects Devin Brown — the quarterbackwhich slipped two notches to No. 5 in the AP Top 25 this week“That’s not just Kyle. It’s the offense across the board,” Day said of last week’s effort. “It won’t be good enough moving forward to reach our goals.
“Of course, you want to go in there and show you stack up against the best,” King said of facing Ohio State. “We want to show that we are some of those guys who can go in there and compete with them.”“I think if you probably talk to the Buckeyes, they’re focusing on them,” he said. “That’s what this month of September is all about. When you don’t have a preseason, when you don’t have scrimmages, you got to utilize the opportunities that you have, those non-league games to figure out who you are.
“We have to do a better job executing early because that’s going to determine the outcome of the game, probably more so than in the past,” Day said.Phillips had an early coaching stint at Youngstown State in the early 1990s under coach Jim Tressel, then worked for Tressel again at Ohio State in 2006. Tressel coached YSU for 15 years until he was hired at Ohio State in 2001 and brought a national championship to Columbus the next season.
