DEVIN BROWN

• Brown said he wanted to wear No. 33 last year as a freshman but the coaches wouldn’t let him, instead assigning him No. 15. They let make the change this year, with Brown choosing to wear No. 33 in honor of Sammy Baugh, the first quarterback inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
• On the response to the number change from his teammates, Brown said: “It’s been hit or miss. A lot of guys like it. Nobody really cares at the end of the day. If I like it, that's what matters.”
• On competing with McCord: “We both came to Ohio State because we wanted to compete and play with the best. We knew what we were getting ourselves into ... At the end of the day, we’re still best friends, no matter what. We‘re just having a good time and playing ball with our friends.”
• On throwing the ball to Ohio State’s wide receivers: “It makes life a lot easier when you got guys like Marvin Harrison and Emeka Egbuka, Julian Fleming. The list goes on and on and on.”
• Brown said C.J. Stroud was his roommate before games and during fall camp last year. “Just to be able to pick his brain and get to see exactly what his routine was and what he had to go through, I feel like it's really helped me, and I feel like it's given me a good chance.”
• On Hartline: “He's energetic. He's always juiced up at practice.”
• Brown said “the offensive line’s been doing a really good job” even though there have been a lot of moving parts at tackle and center.

 

The assumption was that Devin Brown would be the backup to Kyle McCord this season, but we are now four days away from kickoff and we still don't know who Ohio State's starting quarterback will be.

So, now seems like a great time to get to know Devin.https://t.co/UjDg2Kb4Gi

Day on McCord: "Devin made a real strong push about 10 days, two weeks ago, and Kyle responded with some really consistent play."

Ryan Day meeting with the media postgame.

Said he went into the game wanting to play Devin Brown more, but with the game remaining tight, he didn’t think it was right to keep moving the quarterbacks in and out of the game.

Devin Brown on Ohio State’s QB battle:

“I have always felt like I’m in the race. That’s never gonna change for me. … But we have to do what’s best for the team. That’s what we’re doing. When my number is called, I’m gonna go out there and help this team win.”

Ryan Day on Devin Brown:

"Devin is a great competitor. He wants it really bad. He knows that he is one play away."

Day said Brown's "overall consistency" needs to improve. "Hopefully, the next time he is out there, he is a little more poised. ... The talent is there."
