Since you like calling people out...

Still want Pryor to go early and not be the QB.

Kid played amazing hands down MVP.

Had more total yards than Oregon combined.

I couldn't help it!!!!!!

Heck, if I hadn't been riding his ass for the last two years, he'd never have had the game he had tonight.

He reads the Huddle don't you know.

You wish!

Hopefully its the start of a great run for the Buckeyes.

I'll agree with your there!!!

Hey...we're all wrong from time to time. I remember saying at one point "Ohio State will never been sh*t with Troy Smith at quarterback. He's terrible."

Proved me wrong in '05 when he played some of the best football a quarterback has ever played at OSU.

I'd grade him out at a B+++++ tonight. At times he was horrible on his reads and a few of his throws. Ran decent at times, but he was bailed out by Ballard on a ball that probably 8 out of 10 times gets INT. The TD pass to Posey was a big step for him, and I do want him to learn and grow from this game for next year.

Not sure how you can't grade him out at an A. I doubted Pryor all season, but he really proved himself today. Threw the ball well, bought time, managed the game and made plays with his legs. Great to see him take a HUGE step forward in his developement and give us Buckeye fans something to really be excited for next year!

^^^A- at best

I would give Pryor a B+ for tonight. He came through when he needed to, but the INT was ugly, as was holding onto the ball for 7-9 seconds at a time and missing wide open receivers.

But I can't complain about a Buckeye win, and he was a big reason for it. Great game TP.

Every Int looks ugly to me. If I remember right, that one was third and eight, and the interception was 30-40 yards down-field. No worse than an incomplete pass and a punt. Actually, probably better, the way Oregon was returning kicks today.

Yeah, which was one reason why I didn't completely hate it. More air, and that would have been a completion, but the safety also made a very nice adjustment to the ball.

But I was happy that he played a very good game overall and led us to a BCS victory.

I'm assuming that most of our juniors come back for next year because they aren't quite ready, and that we have a good shot to run the table next year and play in the NC game.

He gets a B in my book. He threw a lot of simple routes, nothing crazy. He had a select few great throws deep. Completing dink and dunk passes isn't anything special. I give all the credit in the world to the coaching staff at Ohio State. I would've liked them to have pounded it down Oregon's throat in the second half via running the football; I thought the read plays were a waste, it's like running the triple-option against Navy and expecting to catch them off guard.

At the end of the day Ohio State played a very even game with Oregon. They controlled the ball and got the turnovers needed to win. I think it will be the 2010 version of "Tresselball," more read optioning and spread. I'm not sure if I like it. I think Ohio State's offensive line will be able to dominate their way to an undefeated year next season.

He still does make some bad reads and mistakes and throws a few bad passes but he is getting better. He is starting to tap into his potential and use his abilities better. He has really grown up as the season has progressed. Hopefully he can keep working on his weaknesses in the offseason and become a force next year.
