Article written by "The Black Athlete Network" and they use a picture of Antonio Henton?

I am positive that pictures of Pryor exist so why not spend the extra 1 minute finding one because it is a significant story.

I found it amusing also...deleted the pic to start with but then thought it was too ironic to pass up.

At least "The Black Athlete Network" didn't use a picture of Schoenhoft or Bauserman...

Had Henton stayed, do you think he would have been the one stepping in to run the offense? It could have been an entirely different scenario had he not transfered.

Henton had already been passed by Bauserman. So the only diffence would have been how much garbage time Henton and Bauserman would have split in the YSU game.

Anyway have any predictions for how they think Pryor will do with Wells in the backfield against B10 opponents?

I'm hoping for a 200yd passing and 50yd rushing performance. Maybe a little too hopeful, but I think it can be done and with around 3TDs.

Dispatch
Ohio State football
Pryor's hometown is savoring his success

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

JONATHAN QUILTER | DISPATCH
Terrelle Pryor has gone from starting quarterback at Jeannette (Pa.) High School to starting for Ohio State in less than a year.




As the director of the University of Alabama's "Million Dollar Band," Kenneth Ozzello knows a virtuoso when he sees one. And in Ohio State freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor, he sees a young master. Those who watched Pryor's 1812 Overture of a starting debut last week -- the cannon shots being the OSU freshman-record four touchdown passes -- likely would agree with Ozzello. But they might wonder why a band director from the Deep South has such keen knowledge of Pryor.
First of all, "I'm a football junkie," Ozzello said. Plus, "I'm from Jeannette."
At home and abroad, the denizens of Jeannette, Pa., Pryor's hometown, are basking in the glow that Pryor continues to bring their fair city of about 10,000, nestled in the hills east of Pittsburgh.
"It's wonderful that he's starting now. Everybody here is just thrilled with that," Nancy Barbish said yesterday.
She is the proprietor of Nancy's Grill, located on Clay Avenue, the main drag in downtown Jeannette. It's known as the place to grab breakfast or lunch while picking up the latest buzz. In fact, while recruiting Pryor, Ohio State coach Jim Tressel dropped into Nancy's one day for breakfast.
"What a nice man coach Tressel is," Barbish said. "We've got a picture of him up on the wall."
Tressel smiled when he learned that yesterday.
"My picture wasn't up (when he made his visit); I think they were probably waiting to see where Terrelle was going to go to school," he said. "That's part of the fun of the culture of football. Football is important in a town like Jeannette.
"And you know, there are a lot of pictures up there of past and present. But the only reason my picture is up there is because I happen to be at Ohio State."

I'm really looking forward to seeing what TP can do in the same backfield with Beanie. If history is any indication, the O-line will put out more effort, not only after surgery to remove JT's foot, but most players tend to play harder with their leader, and home run threat running behind them.

I think we see more of the pistol formation (oh hello again Captain Obvious) it seems to be made for the versatility of TP and the power of Beanie from the I.

With the "rotation" of more recievers, we also may see more deep balls to loosen up the D.

Looking forward to the next chapter of the TP saga.
