Which Terelle Pryor shows up next week?
The one that thinks it's no big deal to kill and steal? Or the one that steamrolls through our defense?
At one point this year, TP looked like he was ripe for picking. Now I'm not so sure.
I don't like the OSU rivalry one bit - I think a loss is a given, I'm just hoping 1) that it isn't TOO ugly, and 2) that it isn't a close heart breaker.
What do you guys think? Will we rise to the occasion? Or does it get ugly? My internal homerism aside, it's tough to objectively be confident about this game.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:38 PM ^
the murderous one.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
I don't want him to steal either...hmmm...is there a third option?
November 14th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
it doesnt matter which one shows up, we couldnt stop a bad pryor
November 14th, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
We made Juice looks like a world beater, two years in a row. Remember that.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
a stud against OSU in 2007 - its not like he is justin siller or anything
November 14th, 2009 at 5:44 PM ^
Tolzein threw for 4 and ran for 1 ... what more needs to be said?
November 14th, 2009 at 3:42 PM ^
The one that turns the ball over 6 consecutive times, all returned for touchdowns, Michigan then builds on a 48-0 lead (Richrod makes a statement and goes for 2 each time)
November 14th, 2009 at 4:43 PM ^
"Because I couldn't go for three."
woot for possible urban legends
November 14th, 2009 at 3:42 PM ^
I think we should all poop in coolers to make him feel more at home.
Realistically, I'm guessing he puts up 450 yards, running and passing.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:43 PM ^
hands off 45 times and throws 15 to 17 passes, probably. Unfortunately, I just don't think he'll need to do much.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:48 PM ^
There will probably be at least three 60+ yard TD runs from just OSU's running backs alone.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:44 PM ^
Hopefully the tp that played against purdue makes an appearance. He was really bad that game. I DO NOT want to see the tp that played against ps. He was pretty good that game. We'll see.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:13 PM ^
Uhh ... he did nothing that game. he was 8 out of 17. 8 for 17 for 124 yards. he ran 5 times for 50 yards. Just because they won does not mean he played well.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:45 PM ^
He can throw a pretty good deep ball and he's a solid runner. We can't cover anyone deep and we can't stop running quarterbacks. I think this game gets very ugly.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:46 PM ^
won't matter.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:47 PM ^
we see the bad Pryor that bucknuts wanted to run out of town about a month ago.
I hope Benedict Boren gets knocked on his ass every play.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:48 PM ^
Can we have the Pryor that's on crutches no the sideline because Iowa took out one of his legs? I want that Pryor.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:49 PM ^
This one I hope:
November 14th, 2009 at 3:52 PM ^
...very nice...that one works
November 14th, 2009 at 3:49 PM ^
I'm not sure it will matter. The OSU defense will show up and that will be enough.
I'm hoping RR can pull something out of his hat. I've never wanted to beat OSU more.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
A lot depends on whether or not we liveblog. There can be little debate that if we host a CIL, Pryor's going to have a big day.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:58 PM ^
You won't have to worry about me making one lol. Since I'll be at the game. Bitter sweet there
November 14th, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
...the one that makes bad decisions, panics and throws the ball to the other team a lot.
That would be helpful.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:54 PM ^
My bet is that he'll make several mistakes early on and we'll have a decent lead going into halftime. Then they'll make the standard halftime adjustments that everyone has made against our D all year and poof! they win by 10-15.
November 14th, 2009 at 3:59 PM ^
The one disguised as the 08 Juice Williams. I’m just hoping we can score
November 14th, 2009 at 4:09 PM ^
a td drive last year - they will not get shut out.
November 14th, 2009 at 4:36 PM ^
That made me smile, but I think this year’s osu D is better than last years
November 14th, 2009 at 5:09 PM ^
about that.
They lost Freeman, Laurentis, and Jenkins - all solid players, I don't think the replacements are as good.
November 14th, 2009 at 4:15 PM ^
We made Tolzein look like an All American QB today. Unfortunately, Pryor will most likely have a huge game.
Concur with Harbaugh, if last year's team scored, we will not get shut out.
November 14th, 2009 at 4:40 PM ^
They have been pretty inconsistent this year. They came out unprepared against teams like Navy and Purdue. That gives me some hope, but I don't see Tressel letting his team go into a Michigan game unprepared.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:11 PM ^
OSU will not be unprepared. This is Michigan, even if it is a wounded Michigan. My hope is that half the Big House is not filled with OSU fans as lots of folks are dumping tickets.
Assuming the worse, Tressel won't run up the score. That is not his style.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:39 PM ^
We have to go into this game prepared for both the worst and the unexpected. But rest assure Michigan won't go in unprepared either. Both these teams live for this game.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:13 PM ^
Hopefully the one that gives us bowl eligibility.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:19 PM ^
Hopefully he does nothing because BG knocks him out of the game on the first play, then takes the fumble to the house.
November 14th, 2009 at 5:19 PM ^
If Pryor just has an average day we will get beat. I think it's the OSU defense that is actually where most of the talent lies. I think he'll do fine. Question is: Which Michigan will show up, the 4-0 or the 1-6?
November 14th, 2009 at 6:08 PM ^
2008 PSU Pryor? It seems like we just need to defend the deep pass all game long and then focus on rush defense during the game. If the game does not go well for him, he gets flustered and does not seem to be a "rally the troops" type of qb. We won't have too many chances to make him throw interceptions, so hopefully there will be some fumbles. That's the pryor I hope shows up next week.
November 14th, 2009 at 6:39 PM ^
Man, this was frustrating. Iowa plays for overtime, and then doesn't play in overtime. I was really hoping Ohio State wouldn't win the Big Ten again.
November 14th, 2009 at 7:53 PM ^
I was hoping Iowa would rough him up a bit, but honestly, Pryor will probably just hand the ball off most of the day.
November 14th, 2009 at 8:52 PM ^
I keep having dreams about the osu game. I've had 3 so far, and thursday night, i had a dream where pryor tried to pitch the ball and he ended up pitching it right to a michigan player. Michigan was leading 20-7 when I woke up. Remember this
