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'
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.

because i didn't know that. why didn't anyone tell me that ohio st would beat wisconsin 9 out of 10 times? i hate being out of the loop...
October 24th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
Pryor's "everybody" also steals and kills.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:19 PM ^
even i know everyone steals and kills. i mean, who do you know that doesn't do those things?
October 24th, 2010 at 10:49 PM ^
they also know that tUofOSU are not going to win a national championship this year.
October 25th, 2010 at 12:52 PM ^
I might not kill or steal from people, but if I lived ten lives, you know 9 times out of 10 I would be a murdering burglar
October 24th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
I actually kind of agree with Pryor, but there's still no reason for him to be saying it so long after the fact.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:37 PM ^
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 ..
Go Blue !!!!
October 24th, 2010 at 11:07 PM ^
I fear the Badgers might just be able to run 100% of the time right down our throats for TDs on every possession. I hope I'm wrong, but the matchup seems terrible to me.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:10 PM ^
And they and Wiscy look like identical twins.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:48 PM ^
please run run run. that's our only `chance. at least the D occasionally stops the run. the pass? not so much.
October 25th, 2010 at 6:40 AM ^
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.
October 25th, 2010 at 7:21 AM ^
Wisconsin scores 35.6 ppg, Iowa scores 33.7 ppg. Wisconsin averages 423 ypg, Iowa averages 413 ypg.
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.
October 25th, 2010 at 8:40 AM ^
Oh, sure . . . drag facts into it.
October 25th, 2010 at 8:49 AM ^
I broke board protocol. My mistake. What I meant was, "HURR, your wrong because your a moran. Moran."
Fixed.

October 25th, 2010 at 1:49 PM ^
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. Thanks for opening my eyes! If only I knew that you could use superficial information in lieu of detailed analysis, I could have saved many hours of my life in the course of my work.
Grass is green, so are trees. Therefore Grass==trees.
Sky is blue, so is water. Therefore sky==water.
Man, this is awesome. Why didn't I think of this.
October 25th, 2010 at 3:15 PM ^
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.
October 25th, 2010 at 6:09 PM ^
but I'm not sure they exactly prove equality between the two offenses. Ohio State has a higher PPG avg than Nebraska, Nevada, Auburn and most of the rest of CFB. That doesn't mean that they are better. The game played being close also has no bearing on the relative offensive capabilities, they were playing different defenses. I realize this is wheel-spinning to a degree but you can't just say "similar stats" and "close game" and say the offenses are equal. The teams playing an close game doesn't mean the offenses are equal.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:42 PM ^
Why? It's not like the game was close or turnovers were a factor. They lost because OSU's offense was anemic and gained just 3.8 yards per rush and 5.6 per pass. Those are Michigan '08 numbers.
October 25th, 2010 at 10:43 PM ^
....I've been to a night game at Camp Randall, and know how significant the advantage can be. I'm not usually one to stick up for TP/OSU, but that game was an anomaly for both teams.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:42 PM ^
when they got destroyed in the 1 game they did play, I would love to see it. By the way, this is a repeat of last yrs game with the only difference being Tolzien did not turn the ball over.
Wisconsin whipped osu at the line on both sides of the ball 2 yrs straight now. 9 of 10 games osu loses when you get beat that bad on the line. Last yr was that 1 win when wisconsin inexplicably kept turning the ball over.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:45 PM ^
Aren't they 5-5 in their last 10 against the badgers? I think it fair to say they've had the "best" team in 8-9 of those meetings. That makes it pretty tough for me to agree that they'd win 9 of 10
October 25th, 2010 at 10:19 AM ^
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.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:18 PM ^
They should stop playing all these stupid games and just let him pick the winners. That would be fun to watch every saturday. Him and corso could just spend two hours putting on mascot heads.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
....that Wisky is better at murdering than TP is because Wisky killed OSU.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:20 PM ^
Still calling Michigan State "Little Brother"? Or saying that "We beat ourselves" in the MSU and Iowa games?
October 24th, 2010 at 10:24 PM ^
It's different when the starting QB says it vs. random message board people. Troll elsewhere.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:27 PM ^
Nice qualifier. Nice rationalizing. So then, we're no better than Pryor, amiright?
October 24th, 2010 at 10:30 PM ^
Groan.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:32 PM ^
Major, major logic fail. Can't wait till you're banned a 5th time.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:39 PM ^
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.
Explain how being dominated by MSU for 60 minutes and Iowa for 55 or so minutes means we "beat ourselves."
Explain why Rodriguez apparently now needs until 2012 to contend on the national stage.
Sorry, I'm not that patient with Rodriguez. He has stunk it up at Michigan so far and I don't believe it's going to get turned around.
But I DO predict a 7-5 finish, being thrashed by Illinois, Wisconsin and OSU, but making a shit bowl game and the RR cheerleading squads here and at Scout being appeased.
Brandon? Not so much.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:47 PM ^
explain how Ohio State isn't a better team than Wisconsin.
Ummm, Wisconson beat them.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:50 PM ^
That's ridiculous.
UNLESS...MSU IS better than Michigan. iowa IS bette than Michigan. Massachusetts IS only five points worse than Michigan. Indiana IS only two last-minute drives from being better than Michigan the last two years. Michigan IS just slightly better than Notre Dame, who was just shellacked by Navy...
Oh, you guys are so much fun. Riddled with hypocrisy and self righteous indignation--and stuck with Rich Rodriguez.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:57 PM ^
Show me again where I said we were a better team than MSU or Iowa? Yes, we were slightly better than the teams we beat and worse than the teams we lost to. That was fairly evident on field throughout the game and on the scoreboard afterwards. Did you actually watch the Wisconson game or were you too busy trolling on their message boards? OSU got their ass kicked up and down the field, it's not even debatable.
October 25th, 2010 at 6:27 AM ^
October 25th, 2010 at 6:42 AM ^
I think he actually makes a good point if taken generally. Fans often say "we gave it away" or "we beat ourselves". It'd be a hard argument to make that it hasn't been said here this year, and I know that I have thought the same thing about Buckeye games in the past. It's just something that sportsfans do.
October 25th, 2010 at 7:54 AM ^
October 24th, 2010 at 11:29 PM ^
Somewhere, a man in a white outfit with a big net is searching for you...
October 24th, 2010 at 10:49 PM ^
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.
October 24th, 2010 at 10:56 PM ^
All of our errors are "unforced?"
Now, of course I know Michigan rolled up over 500 yards against Iowa. However, at one point we were down 35-14, and just about wheneve they needed a big play (or a conversion on 3rd down and 75)--they got it. Oh, and they didn't turn the ball over. Not even in an "unforced" way.
So, whip out the "yardage" dick measuring contest if that puts you to sleep at night. They handled UM pretty easily and won by ten. In Ann Arbor.
We're left with nothing but tantalizingly deceitful straws to try and grasp.
October 24th, 2010 at 11:01 PM ^
Oh, I get it. When Ohio State loses, rationalizing it is cool. When Michigan loses, it's because they were dominated. Ohio State wasn't dominated, they were just feeling generous.
To make a long story short, you're a Sparty troll pretending to be an M fan. Don't you have a pizza to deliver?
October 24th, 2010 at 11:08 PM ^
Got nothin, pull out the ol' "sparty troll" bit and cap it off with the prehistoric pizza delivery line.
Don't you have to start generating the "wait til 2013" posts instead of arguing with a "sparty"?
October 24th, 2010 at 11:33 PM ^
No, I'm just trying to bait you into posting more so we can see if you can set the all-time negbang record. I think you've got it in you, kiddo. I really do.
