Buckeye Recap



Bucks ground the Rockets 38-0. Pryor has one of his better games while at Ohio State. The "D" holds Toledo to 13 yards on the ground. Pryor has the fith highest game in terms of individual Total Offense in OSU history. All of this is good, right? So why am I not happy?

1.The running game. Herron and Saine frustrate me. Jordan Hall excites me. Jaamal Berry intrigues me. Any way it goes they must have more production from the running backs
2. Putting it in the tank early. I really think the Bucks offense needs some work so why shut it down early. Pryor should have thrown for over 300 in this game.
3. Pryor's passing form. At times he looks great. Usually those are when there is no pressure around him. He still throws off balance too much and his technique needs work. But he is still a diamond in the rough and give him more time and reps. I think you will forgot all about #10 when it is all said and done.


Ohio State came out aggressive throwing a 76 yard bomb on the third play. They jumped on Toledo early in the first quarter and it was just a matter of running out the clock after that. Saine and Hall had some nice runs but with the exception of Pryor the running game was overall lackluster. Hall looks like a guy that might be a big play guy in time and that is something OSU needs to loosen up defenses. I know they won big but they were supposed to.

Buckeye Minutiae
With 372 yards of total offense Pryor racks up the fifth highest single game total in Ohio State history. The others:

1. Art Schlicter 412 yards
2. Troy Smith 408 yards
3. Joe Germaine 388 yards
4. Troy Smith 386 yards
5. Terrelle Pryor 372 yards

Number 59 Watch
His Redshirt Season continues with no sightings, but with the horrible camera angles it would have been hard to see anyway.

Go Bucks!!!
