Wow that's pretty impressive. Didn't see that during the game.
That is also what I've been most impressed with regarding Pryor also. He seems so mature while playing and doesn't seem to panic.

What happened to my ¤cash?

As far as the Troy game goes, I liked pretty much everything I saw with the exception of the ball spin and shovel pass when he was being pressured.
He did look like he was having fun out there though!
When he came off the field at the end of the game and mentioned that he would pro'lly get yelled at for some of the things he did wrong... I'm going to guess the spin-drill might get a mention from the coaches. (...then the coaches all walk out of the room and elbow eachother and say, "did you see that?" Laughing all the way down the hallway at the WHAC.)

Everybody is somebody else's weirdo.
Probably great advice:
Ohio St. Buckeyes (3-1)
Buy your No. 2 jersey now, Buckeyes fans, while supplies still last. It's going to come in handy the next few years. Now, if only OSU could get No. 2 (Terrelle Pryor) and No. 28 (Chris Wells) on the field at the same time ...

I actually have one. I got it a few years ago at Schottensteins. I think it was a year or so after Mike Doss left, No. 2 was no longer a popular number, and they we seling them off cheap.

I too would like to see this spinning of the ball thing he does. Anyone know why he does this?

Something I want to touch on with Pryor's first start was the play that was nullified by Robo being OB. This play was TP all the way, the play broke down and instead of just tucking and running, or trying to, he was able to move around the pocket, got to the outside, and kept his eyes downfield. He broke a tackle and also pump faked to get the defender off his feet, at this point TP probably could have tucked and at least got to the LOS, however, he continued to keep his eyes downfield, had the awareness to know where the LOS was and stayed behind, then rifled what would have been a first down pass to Robo; negated by the receiver being OB and then touching the ball first once he was in bounds.
This play shows to me that Pryor is really working on keeping a play alive without him always running. Same thing happened on his nd TD pass to Hartline. He felt the pressure, the pocket collapsed, and there were running lanes, he could have tucked and ran, and the D in their zone stepped up to close these running lanes, which left the middle of the field open for Hartline to sneak into. Again, Pryor kept his eyes downfield and it resulted in one of his four TD passes.
Subtle plays like this are what makes dual-threat QB's. As soon as the D steps up to stop the run attack, the field is open behind the first and second levels. When the D drops back to defend the pass, the QB can get past the first level and depending on how deep the LB's are nearly five yards a pop every time. When the O spreads out, it allows even more possibilities. Try spying the QB, your taking a LB or corner out of coverage, one less on man, one less in zone, which leaves mismatches and gaps, if the QB can find these mismatches, or if his WR's can make zone reads, an attack like this is nearly impossible to defend. Couple this with any running game, and possibilities continue to grow.
TP's arm strength was on display against Troy, he had some good touch on his throws as well, but passes like his last TD to Hartline are little high and hard. His touch will come with time, and so will his ability to read the defense.
The future is bright.

Absolutely. It's stating a bit of the obvious here, but I loved the way the sideline exploded after that bit of houdini work. It captures the energy he brings to this squad.mross34;1269512; said:

The touchdown wasn't subtle. That was huge. The OB negated play seemed to me to be passed over, but maybe I should've said subtle actions like this.

Don't buy the #2 just yet. Pryor already said he would give it up if Chris Carters son came to Columbus.

I just wanted to share my excitment with ya'll before I head to work...
Can you imagine the room he's going to have to run when beanie comes back this weekend??? Bottom line is it's going to be so hard account for the inside/outside run at the same time. They're both so good with breaking tackles that even if someone is in position to make a play they can still make them look stupid. Not to mention the passing game will open up even more with Beanie back. I hope we destory minnesota to send a message that we're still dangerous.
Go Bucks!!
