Great pics Josh.

TP needed today. It was an example that just being a great athlete doesn't always get it done in D-1 football. On the speed option looks, the QB has to attack downhill...when TP tried to stretch it, the play was dead.

Jesus, look at the dude's legs.

#20 for OU? Yeah he's pretty ripped...:)

I DVR'd the game and sure enough it stopped (DirecTV had the programming block scheduled for three hours only) right before we took over for our last series. Prior (Pryor?) to that, TP had only the one series. How'd he look in the last series?

IIRC, he had one really nice run (23 yds) that showed the running style of his TD jaunt last week. Overall, the option that worked so well last week did nothing. OU did a great job of containing it, and Pryor looked more hesitant. I don't think he actually made the pitch all day. He had no completions for the game (two attempts).

PRYOR WATCH Freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor saw action in two series Saturday. He had a 1-yard carry and two incompletions late in the first quarter and four carries for 36 yards after Ray Small's fourth-quarter punt return for a touchdown gave the Buckeyes a 12-point lead. Head Coach Jim Tressel and Offensive Coordinator Jim Bollman even discussed playing Pryor before Small's TD. "Coach Bolls says, 'You sure you want to put him under pressure like that?' " Tressel said. "And I said, 'When would you like his first pressure to be?' But then Ray took it back to the house, and then he played the last five minutes." Pryor had a long run of 23 yards during his final series.

Everybody in the stadium knew what Pryor was coming in to do, and he managed to break off a big run on a delayed run. He sold the pass very well on that play. Had a fantastic stiff arm too.

OU did a good job on him for the most part.

I didn't read the whole thread so someone may have said this already, but I hope JT realizes that TP is a much better runner on drop back passes than designed draws or sweeps. Give the defense a couple seconds to spread out and go. I'd say give him one or two guys to look at and if they are covered take off. Bootlegs might be a good option as well.

Bootlegs might be a good option as well.

I've been clamoring for a bootleg inside the 10 yard line for so long (more so when T. Smith was the QB). It would be a perfect play for Pryor, alliteratively speaking.

So true, it is one of the single most underused plays ever. If pulled of properly a naked boot is a thing of Beauty. But it takes 4 things to work properly.
1. Offensive Lines, backs, recievers, must sell that it is a run one way.
2. The fake handoff has to perfect so that it looks like the backs got it. (I remember one time at Miami, Rothlesberger faked, just kinda jogged off to the left and then took off, ballsy to put himself in that position, but huge play).
3. It needs to man coverage, guys dropping into a zone, that'll screw up getting everyone to go the opposite way really quick.
4. Linebackers who are properly reading their keys, i.e. the gaurd/fullback first step.

I think it would work well with TP, but its definately a risk/reward situation, because you can potentially leave your QB facing 3 or 4 defenders without blocking

It's also very effective as a PA option. The boot leg side TE chips on the end and then releases for a 5-7 yard out. QB can throw it to the TE if the DE stays home or run it and the TE turns into a lead blocker for the safety. Almost unstoppable if defense is in man.

Its also very effective if the defense hasn't seen it before so they can't key on what formation we run it out of...
