Jim Tressel thinks Terrelle Pryor could throw the ball 30 times a game this season

One of the most frequent questions from Ohio State fans is how much Jim Tressel will "open up" the offense now that quarterback Terrelle Pryor is entering his third year as a starter.

If "opening up" means passing more, Tressel might be ready to let it go quite

Once he took over as the starter in 2008, Pryor averaged 15 throws per game as a freshman. As a sophomore, he threw the ball about 23 times per game. At the Big Ten meetings today, Tressel said he thinks Pryor could throw the ball between 25 to 35 times per game as a junior. Troy Smith, for example, averaged 24 throws per game when he won the Heisman Trophy as a senior in 2005.

"I would bet he'll throw more than he did last season," Tressel said of Pryor. "Terrelle would probably throw a lot more than his sophomore year. It would be a bigger jump this year than it would be next year, because he's making that progression. I think he'll have a chance to do some things he loves doing, which is throwing the football."

"I'll probably never be back to 100 percent," Pryor said of the knee that bothered him last season.

One thing I noticed about Pryor.... He's brutally honest. I bet he's closer to 100% than he thinks tho because you do recover from those things.

I was watching college football live this afternoon and Brian Griese was covering the Miami Hurricanes schedule predictions. Of course he picked a hurricane victory in the Shoe but he also came out and said Jacory Harris will be the better QB on the field that day. Crock of shit and I hope more people say these things where Pryor can hear them. I just see him being more and more determined when people discredit him. He's going to be a monster this season.

Wow sounds like Tressel finally believes in his QB. When he started believing in Troy, because Troy was READY, the offense took off. Sounds like the same progression is happening with Terrelle. The offense should be sick this year. Terrelle becoming a very good passer, along with his running ability is going to make us unstoppable (hopefully).

Great Interview...

 

[Buck94]

I was listening to the "common man" yesterday (which was probably a mistake) and he made the following statement: As a QB, Terrelle Pryor is below average.

So, does the "common man" think that half of the QBs in the country(all those QBs that are at least average or better), or even just the Big Ten are better than TP? Does he believe that there are at least 5 QBs in the Big Ten that could have done for OSU what TP did in the Rose Bowl had they traded places with him?

I know I am just ranting, but seriously...

never ever listen to the "common man" and the "torg"...they are out of state jackasses who are lame and not funny...never let them get to you again

Point taken, but the options were/are kind of slim for sports radio during that hour. I think 1230AM was talking about A-rod and his 600th HR, so I opted for some Buckeye talk. But I concur, pretty lame...(still better than hooley though)

the only person i like on TheFAN is speilman...torg, common man, hooley and cowherd are all toolbags...but i have satelite radio so i never have to deal with the problem of not having any good sports talk radio to listen to...i highly suggest everyone to get satelite radio if you dont...back to pryor

I listen to those 2 (common man & the Torg) almost everyday. The best days are when Craig Krenzel is either the 3rd man in the conversation of filling in for one of them. I will agree their knowledge of Ohio State is lacking and they usually are just stirring the pot. The only thing I will say for the Torg is he does know Hockey.

Spiels is good. Hooley is the worst excuse for a spots talk guy ever, and Cowherd is ESPN's guy. He makes some good points, but those are typically lost in his bashing someone or something and his current love affair. I just wish Pual Keels would do a show with someone. I love the Buckeye Roundtable during the season.

i buy hes an average "quarterback" if i look at vision, arm strength, accuracy, hes probably average in the big ten. when i toss in the intangibles and his athleticism and what he makes defenses do, hes much better than that. so to me it would depend on the context of his statement.


youd likely be shocked to find out that an anonymous survey of big ten players ranked pryor as the most overrated then...

link on torg?
hooley is worthless, i wouldnt chop him up for dog food. hell elmers wouldnt take him for glue most likely...

It's amazing the transformation these guys go through in their time at tOSU, and at other big time programs. Someone posted a freshman and senior picture of Lil Animal in the countdown thread, so I thought I'd do the same for TP. Hopefully bulking up won't mean he loses any speed.

The person in the above picture is, and I stress:

A motherfucking MAN. :osu:

BG$--Pryor goes from 'arrogance' to maturity

Terrelle discusses his arrogance as a freshman and the lessons he has learned from his teammates and coaches that have made him a better player, teammate and person. He voluntarily discussed his plan to stay for his senior year.
