Pryor is a playmaker. He will make mistakes, but he will make plays. The play wehre the ball is snapped before he is ready, and he picks it up and completes a pass for a first down is a play that Boeckman, from a poise standpoint, would never have made. That play right there showed me that TP is ready to slowly take over the offense and be the man by mid-Big Ten schedule.

He seems to have whatever it is that screams "winner".

This game propelled Pryor. He is poised, quick and decisive, has swagger, and raw athletic ability. We all saw it on Saturday. When Terrelle runs, he's elusive and we hold our breath for a TD. When he throws the ball, he releases quickly, we wait for the connection and big plays. When he gets tackled, he comes up fast and shows that he's eager to do it again. He's eager to show his stuff and his fans are eager to see it. This team needs new life and Pryor can provide that IMO. TB should get some snaps as the team leader, but it's time for the student to surpass the master. Plenty of football to play here yet and this team is going to do it with the wheels and wings of a "winner".

I'm still curious on whether or not JT will give TP the start on Saturday. Last I heard that had yet to be determined?

I heard today, sorry if this has been said previously, that Pryor would be getting the majority of the snaps this week. The start? Well, we all know how JT is with his seniors. But, against Troy.... why not? Its a game that we will (should) dominate whoever we have in, but why not use this game to get TP the EXP and playing time. Toss the ball long a couple times. TB has 2 TD's and 8 picks in big games. Can it get much worse? With Pryor, I dont think so.

And, as stated before, he needs to play. In the words of John Cooper.. "if a dog is going to bite, he's going to do it when he is young".

Play Pryor. I'll take the young mistakes to come vs TB's 2/8 TD to INT ratio. Sorry Todd.

Great points, I agree 100%. I am not normally one who likes to start a freshman. But over the last two weeks or so, I have been convinced. Pryor is the guy..........time to hand over the keys and let him be. If they do now, he could be a superstar by season's end....an Adrian Peterson type player (in a different role obviously).

I know that there are a lot of enthusiasm surrounding this kid right now, and I'm sure that he has what it takes to win. However, as a fanbase, we need to be mindful not to throw this kid under the bus when he makes some mistakes, which he definitely will. Don't get too high, and don't get too low.

Haha, you're asking that of a fanbase that at one point in the 2005 year after the MSU game wanted Troy Smith to sit on the bench and Boeckman to prepare for the 'future'...

OSU has the most overreacting and ridiculous fanbase in college sports and constantly call out players for no real reason. It's foolish and unless Pryor is so good that he dominates every game, people will bitch about him.

I agree though, because he will make mistakes, but has unreal potential and fans will ahve to deal with it.

Our fanbase isn't any worse than several others. Certainly no worse than West Virginia's, who I consider the worst.

Troy was 10/15 for 300 total yards and 4 TDs against MSU in 2005.

Please show me where people were calling for him to be benched.

I've never heard of that until now... Maybe he was the one throwing Troy Smith under the bus for such a lackluster performance! :wink2:
