Both road victories against far better teams.

But a win against Michigan is a win against Michigan. Pryor can't help how good they are or they aren't. Pryor is 3-0 against Michigan...he can't do any better then that. If he goes 4-0 against Michigan, that will be something very special. Even better would be if he can go 5-0 against Michigan!!!

Unless you're implying that he stays an extra year by disguising himself as Braxton Miller, then no, it would not be better.

Not as long as some people. I have been watching since 88.

Am I wrong by saying that the past three Michigan teams are on the same level as Indiana or Purdue?

No, you're wrong in your regard for the rivalry and the intensity it brings to each team despite their records. Back to the frig until you "age" for you. :)

I did not say anything about intensity or teams records. I am just saying that in the past three years OSU has beaten some very bad teams. In each of the home games Pryor played in, Michigan scored 7 points in each game. Ohio State could have won by just kicking field goals. The Michigan offense turned things on when they played at home and scored 10 points. Michigan got beat by a MAC team in one of those years.

If you are going to compare OSU QBs, don't tell me that any win against Michigan is a great accomplishment. Tell me how they did against ranked teams. Tell me how they did in their bowl games. Tell me what they did if they made it to the championship game.

John Navarre and Rex Kern are two QBs off the top of my head that say a W in The Game is a W in the Game Period.

If TSUN scored a TD, we all know that winning a game with just FGs in unpossible. PennState1985 proved that beyond any doubt. :biggrin:








Apologies to Tom Klaban.

Despite not making 1st or 2nd team on the All Conference teams, TP is one of 3 finalists for the Big Ten's Silver Football Award, which will be announced later in the week:

Ryan Kerrigan, Terrelle Pryor, and Denard Robinson.

I don't have a link - this info is from tOSU SID Shelly Poe at the press conference last night.

Pryor lacks awards, but not victories

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

"I don't really get into the statistical things because I don't believe in that. I believe in winning and leading your team to a victory, no matter what it is. It doesn't matter about stats." ? Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor
More football

There was a time when it appeared Terrelle Pryor was going to have a valid excuse to be absent from Ohio State's pre-Sugar Bowl practice Saturday.

That's when the Heisman Trophy will be presented in New York. Four finalists were invited to the ceremony by the Heisman Trophy Trust, led by favored Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and including Stanford QB Andrew Luck, Oregon running back LaMichael James and Boise State QB Kellen Moore.

Obviously, Pryor was not among them. Going into the season, though, he was projected to be.

HeismanPundit.com listed him No. 2 behind reigning Heisman winner Mark Ingram of Alabama in its preseason poll. Riding the wave of expectations generated by his MVP performance in the Rose Bowl win over Oregon on Jan. 1 and being voted the preseason Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year for the second straight year, Pryor was perceived in some circles as the front-runner.

His 300-plus total yards in a win Sept. 11 over the University of Miami helped keep him at the top. In week four, Pryor was ranked No. 1 in the informal Stiff Arm Trophy poll, which canvasses Heisman voters weekly for their leaders. That's also the week Newton made his first appearance, at No. 9.

Then in week seven, Pryor and top-ranked Ohio State lost at Wisconsin the same day that Newton and Auburn beat Arkansas 65-43. Newton shot to No. 1 in the Stiff Arm poll, and Pryor slid to No. 4. The Buckeyes went on to win out and claim a share of their sixth straight Big Ten title, the third for Pryor as the starting QB, but his fall in the Heisman race continued.

That trend wasn't just national. When the Big Ten all-conference teams came out Nov. 29, Pryor wasn't named first or second team by either the coaches or the media. Northwestern's Dan Persa was No. 1 according to the coaches, though he missed the last two games because of an injury, and Wisconsin's Scott Tolzien was No. 2. The media made Michigan's Denard Robinson first team and Persa No. 2.

Pryor tweeted that night: "I must be the worst Qb/player. I might quit football."

Buckeyes call an audible on Terrelle Pryor's Sugar ticket offer: Ohio State Insider
Published: Tuesday, December 07, 2010
Doug Lesmerises, The Plain Dealer

Terrelle Pryor's idea was admirable, but Ohio State officials decided that the school needed to step in to help the OSU QB give away his Sugar Bowl tickets.

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Terrelle Pryor was looking to reward some Ohio State fans by giving away his tickets to the Sugar Bowl. The Buckeyes quarterback can give the tickets away, he just can't do it on Twitter.

Players are given six tickets for BCS bowl games, and the OSU junior tweeted on Sunday that he was going to award two tickets to fans and apparently planned to give the other four to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

"Just trying to show love to Buckeye fans. Wish I had more to give," Pryor wrote.

Pryor then wrote that he and teammate Donnie Evege planned to post a video asking a question and they would use that to pick a winner. But on Monday, Pryor was back on Twitter to say that he'd talked with Ohio State's compliance department and the ticket contest was off -- but he would still find a way to get the tickets distributed.

Doug Archie, Ohio State's associate athletics director for compliance, said Tuesday that the fan contest was a no-go because the winner could have been an Ohio State booster or potential recruit. Giving tickets to them would have been an NCAA violation, and Archie said it would have been difficult to filter out the potential winners who could fall into those categories.

"We have safeguards in place to make sure he doesn't get stung by anything in trying to do something positive," Archie said.

Instead, Archie said Pryor was encouraged to make his ticket donation to a charity, and the football program would work to help ensure that the tickets went to someone who would be able to make it to the game.

"Instead of on an individual level, we can do it as a team outreach," Archie said, "and make sure nothing is done to jeopardize his eligibility."

Has wins, wants respect
By the time Pryor leaves Ohio State, he should be the winningest quarterback in school history
By Brian Hamilton, Tribune reporter

Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor stiff arms his way past Michigan's Cameron Gordon at Ohio Stadium. (Greg Bartram-US PRESSWIRE, US PRESSWIRE / November 27, 2010)

Relaxing on a couch, hanging out with his brother and cousin, another Big Ten title tacked onto his resume, Terrelle Pryor took a call from DeVier Posey, one of his Ohio State teammates.

Posey is a receiver, but he nonetheless managed to deliver a stinging blindside hit:

Pryor was nowhere to be found on the two All-Big Ten first teams. Or either of the second teams. The Buckeyes quarterback was a national top 15 passer who led a national top 15 scoring offense relegated to honorable mention status.

So at 6:05 p.m. on Nov. 29, TPeezy2 took his case to the Twitterverse: "Damn I must be the worst Qb/ player. I might quit football."

Pryor is not revered like Auburn's Cam Newton. He's not the equal of Dan Persa, Denard Robinson or Scott Tolzien, according to the all-conference voting. But as a starter at Ohio State, he's 30-4. He would like you to remember this.

"I'll put it like this: You put me in any of their offenses ? any of them ? and I'd dominate," Pryor said, when asked about the attention afforded the likes of Newton, Robinson and Persa. "I'd dominate the nation. What those guys do, that's what they're supposed to do in their offense.

"They carry the ball 30 times a game. I carry the ball maybe five times. There are times I didn't even run the ball in a game. You put me in any of their offenses, where I can run the ball and have a choice to throw, I would dominate college football."
