Re: Depriest to Bama
OSU is in the NC game the past two seasons if Pryor is a WR and they have a serviceable QB (someone like a Cousins, Stanzi, or Tolzien).
Pryor is a faster and more athletic Plaxico Burress at WR. At QB he is just meh in OSU's offense.
I agree that OSU lacks a game changer at RB, but this further emphasizes Pryor's short comings. Because he will never be a dynamic passer, and OSU doesn't game plan around his feet.
Miami will beat you by double digits for this very reason.
Can any OSU fan honestly say that if a team with similar talent to OSU shuts down your running game, that you would feel comfortable with the game riding on Pryor's arm?
And I don't give Pryor the Rose Bowl. A lot of those completions were lame duck, jump balls, he threw up and OSU simple had better athletes receiving then Oregon had defending. Granted, he was better then usual, but nothing eye popping.
UM's defense made any QB with a pulse look like Dan Marino last season. And your QB, Mr Pryor, actually kept us in the game, and made our D look GOOD, despite the Forcier debacle. All I needed to see.
