Comments about Pryor from JT at his weekly presser.

official.site

REPORTER: Terrelle is listed as the third-string quarterback, how do you see the snaps being divided?
COACH TRESSEL: If you look at the quarterback situation, I would say there are two guys at number one and two guys sharing the number two snaps, which is the way it's been going on a good bit during the camp. Todd has taken a lot with the ones. Joe has taken a lot of the snaps with the twos and some with the threes. Terrelle has taken a lot of snaps with the threes, but some snaps with the twos. So I would say based on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, we'll see just how much each guy will have an opportunity, but I'm hoping it would be nice in the first half of the game -- we always like in the first half of the game to get our quarterbacks in there just so they're not nervous anymore and all that. Perfect scenario for me would be to have all three of them get in the game that first half.

REPORTER: How has Terrelle handled everything that's been thrown at him so far?

COACH TRESSEL: I think he's done a good job. I think he's nervous because he's the kind of guy that wants everyone to be pleased with his performance, starting with himself and he's a perfectionist. But I think when it comes down to the concepts that our people have asked him to understand, the true Xs and Os that people have asked him to understand, I think he's done an excellent job. Now, I know he's going to be nervous when he goes out there on Saturday, but he just needs to get hit a few times and then his competitive juices and focus and all will take over. But I think he's done a very, very good job for a young guy coming in and picking up conceptually because he has such a passion for that. I mean, he loves the chess game. And when you like something, it's a lot easier to learn.

REPORTER: Has he been working with the full play book that Todd and Joe use or when he's in there, is he limited at all or maybe focusing on certain types of formations or situations?

COACH TRESSEL: There's not anything that we've been doing this summer that he's not done. There's no play that people have said, okay, well, Terrelle can't do this one, he's never done this one before, because that's what practice is, this is his chance to do it, so, no. One thing that we're asking our coaches to do regardless of position, but I think especially for quarterbacks is go into this game and say, okay, what are the best five things [URL="https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=87743&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300&ATCLID=1175673"]Joe Bauserman[/URL] does because we want Joe to be successful, and he's going to be nervous. What are the best five things that [URL="https://admin.xosn.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=87743&SPID=10408&DB_OEM_ID=17300&ATCLID=1549127"]Terrelle Pryor[/URL] does? We want him to go in and have a chance to do the things that he's really comfortable with, and after all that is out of the way, then we do what we have to do, but I think you want guys to have a chance to be successful.

REPORTER: Jim, how is Terrelle handling the nonfootball side of this transition? In other words, the celebrity status, the media pressures, the things he didn't have to deal with in high school and are you guys helping him with that so that he doesn't get himself into a situation where you've got a problem off field?

COACH TRESSEL: I think the seniors are helping the most with that because they must get after him pretty good because every once in a while I'll get a text from him saying, "Are we supposed to get up at 5:30 or is this another senior prank on me?" So I think the seniors are helping him cope with that. Plus his buddies, his buddies kind of jab at him a little bit and remind him that there's more than one freshman on the team. I think he's getting along fine. Now, we've got to add to his plate the academic segment of it with the football. We had it in the summer and he did great, but now you add that full load academically and all that, but so far so good.

Pryor expected to play for Buckeyes


By Rusty Miller
Associated Press

Tuesday, August 26, 2008

COLUMBUS ? The most talked-about player on Ohio State has never played a down in scarlet and gray and won't start in the season opener on Saturday against Youngstown State.
Terrelle Pryor, acclaimed as the top quarterback recruit in the country last winter, is listed as No. 3 on the Buckeyes' depth chart behind starter Todd Boeckman and backup Joe Bauserman.
Coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday that he was hoping all three would get to play in the opening half against Youngstown State, a Championship Subdivision opponent the Buckeyes beat 38-6 a year ago.
"He's nervous because he's the kind of guy that wants everyone to be pleased with his performance, starting with himself. He's a perfectionist," Tressel said of the 6-foot-6, 235-pounder out of Jeannette, Pa. "But I think when it comes down to the concepts that our people have asked him to understand, the true Xs and Os that people have asked him to understand, I think he's done an excellent job."

Ohio State football: Of course Pryor will play, but how?

by Doug Lesmerises Wednesday August 27, 2008, 10:00 AM


I must admit I was a bit surprised when ESPN scrolled the news across the bottom of the television screen Tuesday night that Ohio State freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor would not start for the Buckeyes but would play on Saturday.

medium_PryorRecruit.jpg
AP fileLet's set the over-under on the number of snaps Terrelle Pryor takes on Saturday at 13.


Haven't we all known what for months?

Jim Tressel is eager to see Pryor in action and would like to get all three of his quarterbacks in during the first half. And he always uses the early nonconference games to work everyone in. Don't forget that true freshmen Dane Sanzenbacher, Brandon Saine and Taurian Washington all scored touchdowns in the first game against Youngstown State last year. And backup quarterback Rob Schoenhoft entered the game in the first half and third-stringer Antonio Henton entered in the fourth quarter and threw a touchdown.
So yes, Pryor will play. And no, Pryor won't start.
The question is how will Pryor get in - for an entire series or as a sub for starter Todd Boeckman on a particular down or spot on the field? Or both. The speculation has centered on special packages or situations for Pryor, but Tressel said he can work the entire playbook.

"There's not anything that we've been doing this summer that he's not done," Tressel said of Pryor. "There's no play that people have said, 'OK, well, Terrelle can't do this one, he's never done this one before,' because that's what practice is, this is his chance to do it.

any chance we use Pryor like Florida used Tebow 2 years ago when they won the National Championship???? Just wondering because I haven't heard anyone, especially the media, say anything like that. :tongue2:

I don't get the media....it's there job to follow sports and get paid for opinions, but can't figure simple things out.

Tebow was UF's third and short RUNNING BACK.

We have a good third and short running back. Beanie. Pryor will have his own packagaes and be utilized in multiple ways, but not the way Tebow was used. The only comparison is two talented freshman who are utilized in special circumstances.

Come on they're the same I mean they're both runnign QBs, just like it used to be that all African-American QBs were the same... Leftwich vs. "The Dogfather" AKA Vick. Pryor is more of a reciever skill set with a good arm as far as speed goes. Tebow is a FB skill set outside of QB, but then again, that would take a whole 40 seconds of film analysis and the Average Sports Jouranlist has trouble following a baby einstein video.
I agree Pryor will have his play sets, but yeah... The media is dumb, I can't say anymore without verging on screed.

I can't wait to play the TP drinking game tomorrow. Every time Pryor is mentioned in the same sentence as Tebow....drink up. I should get more drunk than when I play the Mussberger drinking game.

I don't know what is the best drinking game:

Mussberger, the new TP game, or the Craig Krenzel Molecular Genetics game.

It is a Big Ten Network game, and of all the BTN games, OSU/YSU is getting the largest segment of the coverage map, which I presume means we're getting Thom Brennaman and Charles Davis.

So, if it is indeed Thom, who learned from his father how to dwell on the home teams failures and spend 45 minutes [strike]talking about the elephant in the room[/strike] beating the dead horse, the game to play will be to take a drink everytime Thom says the letters "S-E-C."

Once OSU has the game in hand, head to the fridge and grab six beers. Thom and Charlie are going to get you hammered talking about the last two seasons, as if you hadn't just fucking watched them.
