And Pryor opens his mouth again...

While maybe not up to the standard of past utterances, still another look into the mind of the Buckeye QB:

 

Terrelle Pryor on Wisconsin: 'They weren't better than us'

Posted by John Taylor on October 24, 2010 3:04 PM ET

A very frustrated Ohio State football team took the field Saturday, and took out the previous weekend's loss to Wisconsin on a Purdue squad that simply stood no chance.

 
Most would think that the Buckeyes would be basking in the afterglow of a 49-0 whitewashing that featured 415 total yards and 42 points in the first half alone.  The triggerman of the Buckeyes' offense, however, was in not much of a mood for the here and now.
 
Instead, Terrelle Pryor decided to travel back in time and revisit the previous weekend.
 
"Not to take anything away from Wisconsin at all - I really don't want it to come off like this - but they weren't better than us," the quarterback said according to the Columbus Dispatch as it came off just like that. "Everybody knows that if we play nine out of 10 times, we'd beat Wisconsin."

I don't agree with this at all . IMO wisc is a better team . TP and this offense can't score on a good D . He plays a team like Purdue who has no D puts up 40+ and thinks he is god once again . IMO Michigan beats OSU this year . Y you ask because by the end of the year our freshman will have exp. our first year qb will have exp. and our team will be playing as a unit. OSU wins if the D can stop the O and IMO this will not happen . We moved the ball all day on Iowa a much better D and by the end of the year the turnover bug should be gone ..

How on Earth could you equate Wisconsin's offense with Iowa's? I'm genuinely curious, because I can't see it. Wisconsin's personnel is superior to Iowa's (saving possibly DJK and Stanzi). Clay, Ball, and White are much better than Robinson (individually and as a unit), and Wisconsin's OL is far better than Iowa's. There's no comparison whatsoever.

Besides, they just played a very even game that ended 31-30... so I think it's safe to say that the two offenses are relatively even.

Oklahoma State and Boise State have similar figures, too. It must be that their offenses are the same! In fact, any two offenses that produce similar scores and yardage are IDENTICAL.

Your argument was that Wisconsin is better across the board on the offensive side of the ball, and therefore you can't compare the two offenses or call them similar. 

My response is simply that judging by, you know, moving the ball and scoring and stuff, the two are fairly similar.  I'm not saying that the two offenses have the same style, because that wasn't your argument.  I'm just saying that if the measure of an offense is yards and points, then Wisconsin and Iowa are quite comparable, regardless of any talent differential you think may exist.

That includes three losses in a row and two years where they didn't play. Before that, though, Wisconsin has been just under .500 against Ohio State since about 1981. That includes the Don Morton/early Barry Alvarez years when Wisconsin was terrible.

I agree with being dominated by MSU, but the Iowa game, are you kidding? You can't be dominated for 55 minutes and put up 530 yards in the other 5 minutes. The we beat ourselves comes from the drive killing penalties and turnovers, which were, more or less, unforced errors (er, preventable). Even you, I feel, should be able to see that.

I also said "we beat ourselves with turnovers".  Fans of all teams do that.  We beat BOTH MSU and Iowa if the turnover battle is just even.  The turnovers killed our momentum, and two vs. MSWho happened in the end zone.  I'm glad Sparty fans think they 'dominated'. 

It doesn't make the losses any better, but there are plenty of positives.  Knowing you could win without the turnovers means it can be cleaned up for a win next year.  Guarantee Alabama, OSU, and Oklahoma fans are ALL doing this right now.

The failure in my logic. Also, explain how Ohio State isn't a better team than Wisconsin. Explain how Pryor fails when he says OSU would beat Wisconsin 9 of 10.

Ohio State was beaten handily at the line by Wisconsin. It's hard to say what would happen in another game, but to say they'd win 9 of 10 is a leap in logic no matter how you look at it.

Explain how being dominated by MSU for 60 minutes and Iowa for 55 or so minutes means we "beat ourselves."

Sorry, missed the part where we were dominated for 55 minutes against Iowa. You don't get up to 520 yards in 5 minutes. To say we were "dominated" by MSU is also misleading. That was a winnable game for much of the contest, and we certainly weren't dominated for the entire thing.

Explain why Rodriguez apparently now needs until 2012 to contend on the national stage.

All of the shit that went down in the secondary could not have been anticipated when people were making predictions two years into the future.

Our offense is not full of five stars and is putting up some pretty big numbers. There's a difference between doing "more with less" and doing "everything with nothing." You could put the best defensive coordinator in the mix and this defense wouldn't stop many teams.

Rodriguez should merit patience because he deserves a fair shot at putting things together and getting rid of him now would be an absolute disaster.

Michigan fans weren't patient with Threet because he performed terribly. It wasn't his fault, but the system didn't fit him in the least. Sheridan was in the same situation except not as good as Threet. Ezeh has had years to improve and was just beat out by a sophomore. Tate, as far as I can tell, is still supported by the fan base. Shafer had a very talented set of defensive players and couldn't make it work.

Let's wait until the end of this season before we start making decisions about what will happen in the next few.
