I've gotta admit, I never thought that TP had a chance to win the Heisman this season. I thought that the Oregon game was just a fluke against bad coverage. But I have to say, that TP looks like the real deal and is my pick to win the Heisman. His accuracy, decision making and overall play has improved greatly. He looks great and could lead the Bucks to the NC.

I really wanna see Tressels grading scale.

IIRC the grading scale for earning buckeye leaves is explained on Coach Tressel's website (it might be premium). I am not sure if it details what the QB has to do to earn a winning performance, but it covers the units (offense, defense, special teams) and gives a good idea of the kind of things he looks for.

The player grades have different criteria than the Buckeye leaves.

For a player grade, every play in the game is reviewed by his position coach (for TP, that's Siciliano) for whether or not it was a good performance. IIRC, an 85% is needed in order to receive a passing grade, regardless of position. But each position has different aspects of each play reviewed. I don't know if partial scores are given on individual plays.

I'm glad. Terrelle is a hard worker and this motivates him to keep working at the highest level possible. Terrelle is going to continue to get better from now until the end of the season, and from the end of the season to the bowl game (like I said last year) he's going to make the biggest jump of the year.

He had a winning performance in my book... But my book luckily doesn't matter.

I could see how needing an 85% (not completion percentage obviously) would be especially hard for a quarterback..

Batch mentors Heisman Trophy hopeful Terrelle Pryor
By Mark Kaboly, TRIBUNE-REVIEW
Wednesday, September 29, 2010

As soon as Terrelle Pryor heard Charlie Batch was getting the starting nod at quarterback for the Steelers, he instantly fired off a text message that read, "I hear a guy named Charlie B. is about to lead the Steelers to another victory."

Batch followed with a short, gracious response.

Over the past seven years, that's about the extent of the football talk that goes back and forth between the Heisman hopeful Ohio State quarterback and his longtime mentor.

When it comes to everything else ? school work, responsibilities, decision-making and life in general ? Batch has plenty of advice for Pryor.

"We all know he can play football, I am not concerned with that," Batch said. "Football is the last thing we talk about. I am worried about him as a person and making sure that he is OK. Everybody else can talk about football with him."

Having a strong personal relationship with a 13-year veteran professional quarterback such as Batch would seemingly be the perfect fit for Pryor to throw football questions at him repeatedly, but the conversation rarely goes down that path.

"I know I am one of the few who he knows that if he asks the tough question, he will get a tough answer," Batch said.

And Pryor doesn't mind at all.

"There are people out there who try to take advantage of you," Pryor said. "There are a lot of these bad people around, and it is just nice to have a good guy in your ear who has been there and done that."
