Also, how good would OSU be without Pryor?
I think it was a game last year because A) Ohio State already had the Big 10 and Rose Bowl wrapped up and B) Michigan needed the win to be bowl eligible. Now I understand it is the biggest rivalry for both schools, but you must admit, it is a bit harder to get up for a game when you are essentially playing for nothing but bragging rights. Also, the game was not that close even though the score was, Ohio State was never behind and protected a two score lead for most of the game. Game was never in doubt.
To your second question, obviously Ohio State would not be as good without Pryor, but as CBF stated, I think Guiton would be the QB as well, not Bauserman. Also, OSU still has one of the best defenses in the conference, so if Pryor went down, the offense wouldn't carry the burden as much as UM's offense since the defense at UM is actually statistically worse than last years D. So without the phenom Robinson, they are back to that offense of last year and an even worse defense.
