Columbus, Ohio - Ohio State quarterback Devin Brown showcased his major potential on against Youngstown, but it was Kyle McCord who solidified his starting position in a 35-7 win over the Penguins.

Connecting with his former high school receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., who had a stellar performance with two touchdowns, McCord completed 14 of 20 passes for 258 yards and three touchdowns.

The starting quarterback, who prevailed over fellow Ohio State passer Devin Brown, nearly caused a social media frenzy with a performance that confirmed why he's the Buckeyes' starting quarterback.

"Kyle McCord is the starting quarterback and Devin Brown is the backup. No need to prolong the experiment any longer. Get Brown his snaps after the game is out of hand. McCord needs to get as much time with the 1s as possible," one fan wrote.

"I think this first half has solidified Kyle McCord as the starter moving forward," another agreed.

"It’s time to end the Devin Brown experiment. It’s clear McCord is the guy," a third added.

Kyle McCord wasn't the only Buckeye quarterback who stood out on Saturday.

Devin Brown impressed with an athleticism that some fans believe overshadows McCord's.

"Devin Brown gives the Buckeyes the best chance to win games. Dual threat will open up so much more," one posted.

While Brown had some standout moments on the field, he also displayed areas that needed improvement, to the extent that it jeopardizes his starting position.

During the game against Youngstown, Brown missed several easy passes that included struggling to throw in the pocket.

The Buckeyes will return to take on Western Kentucky on Saturday, September 16 at 4 PM EDT.
