"I've got to get so much better." ? Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor
To the casual observer, Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor is showing arm strength, touch and poise.
During a 90-minute practice yesterday, he completed a long sideline pass to Taurian Washington, correctly read a blitz and flipped the ball quickly to Dane Sanzenbacher, then feathered a throw over the shoulder of Jake Stoneburner, who made a fingertip grab.
It seemed to validate the thinking that Pryor is on the verge of a breakout year - one in which, like in the Rose Bowl, he is given more opportunities to show off his passing skills.
But Pryor doesn't feel nearly as good about himself.
"I've got to get so much better," he said. "I have to remember to open my hips more."
