In the 42-14 win over Holy Cross, McCord completed 28 of 50 passes for 385 yards and four touchdowns to two interceptions. As noted by Syracuse broadcaster Tim Leonard on X (formerly Twitter), McCord’s big day in the air set a program record for the most consecutive 300-yard passing games, at four.

McCord had little to no trouble finding his receivers for a score throughout the afternoon, as highlighted by his four touchdowns on the day. It is the third time this season that McCord has thrown four or more touchdowns in a single game, a feat he never reached at Ohio State.

The first touchdown from the McCord came on the run as he flushed out of the pocket on third-and-goal and found a sliding Umari Hatcher on the run open near the back corner of the left end zone.

He recorded his second touchdown of the afternoon on a 23-yard throw to Darrell Gill Jr., to put the Orange up 14-0.
