Terrelle Pryor is not yet a good passing quarterback. And yet, he may still be the game’s most dangerous quarterback, simply because of his otherworldly size, strength, speed, and athleticism. Critics say he’s missing a passing game; I say he’s just missing a head coach who knows how to use him.
At Some Point, Jim Tressell Will Unleash Terrelle Pryor (Right?)
↵In today’s battle for the inside track to the Big 10 title, Ohio State leads Penn State 10-7 at halftime in Happy Valley, where Terrelle Pryor is struggling to pass the ball (just 3 of 9 for 33 yards) and, you guessed it, not struggling to run the ball (42 yards on 3 rushes, including a TD). In a game between two otherwise evenly matched teams featuring good defenses and poor passing attacks, the standout difference is the freak athlete quarterbacking the Buckeyes. Penn State doesn’t have one of those.
↵But the point is that no one else does. At some point, Jim Tressell surely has to figure this out, doesn’t he? I keep asking this week after week, but here we are at halftime of the biggest conference game of the year.... and we’re still waiting, the Buckeyes’ incredible rusher having carried the ball just three times so far.
↵So here’s a prediction: If we’re still waiting for Tressell to figure this out when today’s game comes to an end, Ohio State will have dropped its third game of the year.
