Is it sad that the INT before the half doesn't surprise me anymore? So disappointing.

FUCK MICHIGAN!!!!!!

At least 2 or 3 of those have been him forcing something at the end of the half instead of being happy with the 3.

Didn't need that...take your 3.

The fans got what they wanted at the end of the half...overaggressive call.

Boo now...

Eh, I've got no problem at all with the play call. That play so drastically highlights one of the main differences between Tressel w/ Troy and Tressel w/ Pryor. It's all decision making. Pryor has to know that's not there and throw the ball away, like Troy would have. Tressel gives Pryor a bone like that from time to time, but you can't blame him for still not completely opening things up when Pryor makes a decision like that.

F*ckin' slackers! All of you! And you all rip on Herbie for not being a real Buckeye!

Tired of cleaning up after you. Wake the f*ck up and put your game on!

C'mon. Pull it together for the second half and don't let me see you leaving anybody hangin'!

What were they thinking on those unis??

THE ROUT IS ON!!!

Thing is they've been driving the ball all day so far. Turnovers, penalties, lack of special teams and dropped passes are bailing us out. Our D has got to wake up because we do not want a shoot out. If they had a kicker it could be tied or worse right now. We need to wake up and get some push up front and get to Robinson. GOOD thing is that our O is waking up. We are a 2nd half team and will only come out fired up after the half after we put up more points prior to that.

Brian Rolle will eat your wolverines.

Oh well... second half is when the scUM go in full meltdown mode.

Before the play, I'm thinking, just don't throw a pick-6 on an out route. Luckily it was Kovacs, who had almost no chance to go 100 yards. :tongue2:

Team has to stay sharp. TSUN can still score a lot of points.

 

[cincibuck]

I'd say that Pryor inside the Red Zone is going to drive me to drinking, but I'm already there. This game is far from over. Dammit.

 

[SloopyHangOn]

That has happened way to many times this year near the goal line!

I hope this doesn't come off as bashing, but that's on TP.

He'll figure it out, though. Hopefully a Sugar bowl victory over LSU/Ark/Aub will be the next milestone toward fulfilling his full potential.

 

[TresselstillownsTSUN]

Hate it that people are booing our guys. I hate that shit.

 

[Drubuck]

Well done shetuck. well done!!and an I-O to you sir.

Agree 100%. My comment is to the fans who booed the end of the half vs. PSU...those 3 points will hopefully be irrelevant, but you NEVER leave points on the field.

It won't be Auburn now. If they lose, S Car is in the Sugar Bowl as the SEC Champ.

Pryor plays a flawless half....than throws a pick to end it. Great player, but sometimes needs to eat it and kick a FG. He would have about 5 INTs this year instead of 11 if he just always took the smart play.

Yeah he's looking to do too much. You like to see a guy want to make a play, but it comes back to bite him too often in games. Very good first half for him until that.

That and the fact that he's still low and high on throws is the main reason he should come back.

Interesting fact though, in the first half today, Pryor threw for 196yds, which is more yards than he threw for against Michigan in the last two Games combined. Hopefully he can get more TDs than those two games combined as well.

Sage advice - we went nuts here on that.
Passing into double coverage vs. throw it away and get 3 - no contest.

Ah yes.
