Pryor is going to be a superstar. Boom was solid, I really like him
Robo looked lazy with that dropped pass from Pryor. one hander :(
The defense better wake up. Can't handle the spread options and the
D-LINE got abused again. I didn't keep count but, I'd say 20 miss-tackles.
O-LINE looked better this week but, still needs to improve. If Boeckman was in , he would have been sacked at least 5 times or more. Finally, Tressel is going with a fast QB to help the pass protection.

I wish a healthy BEANIE with PRYOR soon. BIG TEN is going to be tough

AT least a WIN

Ya know what I liked about Pryor besides his Poise? I like the way he runs with his head up, uses his blockers extremely well, and runs smart.
Now he will face better D's and have a bad game sometime but this kid is the real deal as advertised.

Pryor's 4 TD passes lead OSU past Troy, 28-10

By RUSTY MILLER ? 21 minutes ago
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) ? Acclaimed freshman Terrelle Pryor tossed four touchdown passes to lead sluggish No. 13 Ohio State to a 28-10 victory over Troy on Saturday.
In the wake of an ugly 35-3 defeat at top-ranked Southern California, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel had said that the nation's top quarterback recruit last spring and fifth-year senior Todd Boeckman would split the job 50-50 against the Trojans (2-1).
But Pryor started and played all but two snaps until the game was decided ? and a less-than-capacity crowd loudly booed Boeckman when he threw a first-half incompletion on one of those.
Pryor's touchdown passes covered 39 and 16 yards to Brian Hartline, 13 yards to Rory Nichol and 38 yards to Brian Robiskie. The 6-foot-6 standout from Jeannette, Pa., who won't attend his first college class until next week, completed 10 of 16 passes for 139 yards with one interception. He also ran 14 times for 66 yards.
Still, the Buckeyes (3-1) led just 14-10 heading into the fourth quarter, at which point Troy had more first downs and total yards.
Pryor became the first true freshman to start at quarterback for Ohio State since Art Schlichter in 1978.

Question for all. Would have OSU won if PRYOR wasn't the starter? I would say, NO . He was the difference in the game and the Defense wasn't any help for a victory at all. Troy QB was great but, he had all day

Wild day around the Big Ten

The Terrelle Pryor era is upon us. Joe Paterno spent the second half in the press box. Purdue and Central Michigan played a classic at Ross-Ade Stadium. Northwestern had one of the weirdest wins in recent memory. Minnesota is, like, really good. Iowa dominated the stat sheet but still lost.
And it's only 3:30 p.m.
It's been an eventful day to say the least around the Big Ten. Here's my quick take on each team as we get ready for kickoff here at Spartan Stadium.
Ohio State -- The future has arrived in Columbus, and he wears No. 2. Freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor emerged as the clear-cut starter after leading Ohio State past Troy in another too-close-for-comfort game. Pryor threw four touchdowns in the win, double the amount senior Todd Boeckman has this year against FBS teams. Boeckman attempted only one pass in the game. It's very un-Ohio State to put the team in the hands of a freshman, but the move could pay off down the line.

First. Troy is avery good football team and played very solid inall phases of the game. They didn't give us anything. We earned everything.
Secondly. The defense was better the second half. They helped big time.
Curt Coleman=2 interceptions! Chekwa is still playing better than Washington! The defensive line did get some pressure and flushed the QB.
Thirdly. TP played , generally terrific and solid. 4 TD passes and I won't give him the interception on the Hail Mary. And he ran well. 64 yards.
Boom got 93 yards. And the blocking is getting better.

Troy scored 31 on Florida last year and 34 on Georgia. I think you're being too hard on the defense today. There were far too many missed tackles, but overall they did the job.
