ESPN - Pryor, Ohio St. build quick lead in victory over Michigan St. - NCAA College Football Recap

Pryor helped the Buckeyes score 21 points in the first quarter against a team that hadn't allowed a point in its first four home games this season and was giving up less than 17 points a game overall.
He was 5-for-5 for 86 yards in the first quarter and ran for 62 yards on four carries, including a 32-yard gain on the opening drive, that made Pryor smile when recalling what he told Tressel the previous day.
"I wanted to let him know if I don't take us down the field, bench me," Pryor said. "I love when I have to challenge myself."

"People don't know me and don't know what I can do," he said. "Everyone thinks that I'm overrated and all that. Wait and see. The time will come and you'll find out."

Boy, I love this kid's attitude. He really is impressing me, his leadership qualities are very rare for an 18 year old. We've got a damn good one in Pryor, put the popcorn in.......I get the feeling that the light is starting to click on for him. :oh:

Singed Spartans evidence of Pryor's greatness

by David Mayo | The Grand Rapids Press

Saturday October 18, 2008, 10:00 PM

[...]

Four quarters of the scarlet-and-gray hammer later, and the most-pursued recruit in the nation last year, the one who kept Michigan hanging even beyond 2008 in its quarterback pursuit, gave us our first up-close look at a quarterback who will dominate the Big Ten Conference for parts of two decades before he stops applying whippings like the 45-7 thud here Saturday.

We won't bother today with applying the same-old-Spartans tag, which is as much an October tradition as pumpkin pie and trick-or-treating. Too easy. Too obvious.

We'll learn more about that next week, in Ann Arbor.

This wasn't merely some inert misfire. It was a team outclassed and overwhelmed. If Iowa was trumpeted as a program win, this was a program loss. This wasn't some collection of inherent personal flaws that burst open under pressure. It was just a sheer talent disparity, ballooned throughout the first half by the accompanying shellshock whenever any group of athletes collectively learns it isn't fast enough, strong enough, good enough.

Most of all, one athlete caused it.

This wasn't Pryor's first trip to Michigan, just his first since deciding not to live in the state. The Wolverines will get four years of reality every time they step onto the field across from the kid who might have been their triggerman. But not before Michigan State got a dose of its own.

Beanie's either teaching this kid how to stiff arm, or he's just feeling the same vibe that Beanie does, either way, you have to love it. That stiff arm Pryor put on that kid in the 4th quarter yesterday was just sick.

BUCKEYES NOTEBOOK
Pryor puts pressure on Pryor
By MATT MARKEY
BLADE SPORTS WRITER
EAST LANSING, Mich. - Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor was so frustrated about the under-performing Ohio State offense that he marched into coach Jim Tressel's office on Friday, just before the team left for yesterday's game against Michigan State, and insisted that if a certain player was not getting the job done and the team wasn't moving the ball, then that player needed to be benched. The player Pryor wanted benched was Terrelle Pryor. "He's that competitive," Tressel said of his freshman quarterback, who shouldered a lot of the blame for Ohio State's offense being ranked near the bottom of the Big Ten.

Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor looks his best after hearing the worst, writes The Plain Dealer's Bill Livingston

Sunday, October 19, 2008 Bill Livingston
Plain Dealer Columnist

East Lansing, Mich
Before the Buckeyes left Columbus, Ohio State's football future put himself on the clock.
"If I'm not moving the team in the first quarter," said freshman Buckeye quarterback Terrelle Pryor, "take me out."
"I believe in you, T.P.," said coach Jim Tressel. "But if you throw it to the other team, don't worry. I will."
Pryor didn't throw an interception, Tressel didn't pull his quarterback, and the Buckeyes routed Michigan State, 45-7, Saturday evening. Pryor ran for one touchdown, threw for another, and missed a second scoring pass when wide receiver Brian Hartline's knee spiked the ground at the 1-yard line after a review of what seemed to be a 57-yard touchdown.
Pryor has never played with better or more purpose. Then again, he has never had more reason to.
For the first time since he was the darling of every recruiting service in high school last year, Pryor had been doubted this week.

Pryor lives up to billing

Buckeye freshman validates Tressel's decision to start him

Andrew Mouranie ? [email protected] ? October 19, 2008


EAST LANSING - Coming into Saturday's game against Michigan State, many people surrounding the Ohio State football program were questioning coach Jim Tressel's decision to start freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor over senior Todd Boeckman.

Controversy over.
The 6-foot-6 Pryor went 7-of-11 for 116 yards and a touchdown threw the air and added 94 yards and another score on the ground in Ohio State's 45-7 victory over Michigan State on Saturday in Spartan Stadium.
"I have read a lot of different kind of things about quarterback situations and all that and I felt it was time to just step up offensively and we all stood up," said Pryor, the nation's No. 1 high school recruit in 2008.
The dynamic freshman from Jeannette, Pa. was criticized after last week's 16-3 win over Purdue in which the offense did not score a touchdown.
Tight end Jake Ballard even went on record to say that a two-quarterback system would be beneficial to the Buckeyes.
Pryor answered all those critics on Saturday, especially those of a certain ESPN analyst.
"I'd love to battle (ESPN's) Mark May anytime. If he wants to keep on saying that I'm overrated, I don't care. I don't even watch Sportscenter to tell you the truth. He has been saying stuff about me for a while now and I brush that off."
Coach Jim Tressel said his young quarterback was just as upset with the lack of offensive production as everybody else.
Before leaving for East Lansing on Friday, Pryor came into his head coach's office and made a request to Tressel not often heard from superstar players.

Does anyone have a clip of this because I didn't get to see much of the 2nd half.
