Two-minute drill: Washington State’s keys to victory against No. 22 Syracuse in Holiday Bowl
McCord eclipsed 400 yards passing once, in a win over UConn, and he hit 300 in all other games except one. A former Ohio State transfer, McCord finished the regular season with a Pro Football Focus offensive grade of 90.3, No. 5 in the country among qualified quarterbacks. All the Cougars’ eyes will be on McCord and how to slow him down.
