Game 8: Minnesota 7 vs. #19 Ohio State 38 (Final)

Why can't JT put Berry in there? I want to see what the kid can do.

 

this is hard to watch...:sleepy:

 

Great deep ball by Pryor... That other one to Posey late in the 2nd was perfect too.

 

Is there a way to fix the countdown timer? It's been off by 3 hours the past 2 weeks...

 

Same with me, I think its because we are on the west coast but not quite sure

 

Weeelllll allrigghtt. I'm satisfied with that game. Pryor looked calm and focused, thats a big step forward in my opinion. No forcing throws, running like he should, all in all I think it was a positive step for him.

 

agree. I think this was a good game overall. great step forward for pryor and a agree about jordan hall. man that kid has done nothing but impress everytime hes in the game

 

Very happy with this game. Better line play on both sides of the ball. Pryor had quite a bit of time. He also did a much better job of getting square with the receiver and putting velocity on the ball (of course, he had more time to throw).

One thing that I saw from Terrelle for the first time was a couple of great pocket plays. Instead of running away from the pressure, he managed to manipulate the rush and use his blockers with just one step.

I'm so happy to see Pryor under center some. People say that isn't where his skill-set is, but that's where it needs to be if we want to succeed in the future. Anyone else find it funny how excited everyone got (me included) when Tressel went for it on 4th, and we actually got it... even though we didn't get anything out of it.


I have only one complaint from the game... ... Red Zone offense! This has been a serious issue for two season now.

 

I just got home a few hours ago from Cleveland so I missed the game, I recorded it though and just re-watched it.

Pryor looked very good in the second half, us running plays from a pro formation and doing more boot legs seemed to help, maybe a bit of confidence after the chat from LeBron? would be awesome for Pryor to completely turn his season around, I mean, he's been good, but he's made a lot of mistakes.. kid shoulda gotten the TD but Posey got called for holding, regardless Pryor's explosiveness throwing and running showed again.

And who was it who said we didn't have a #1 threat at WR???....

 

So do you guys think Martin might have earned a little bit of playing time? Granted, he was put in when the game was out of hand for Minnesota and their D was probably pretty tired, but still, hes a big dude and I saw quite a few would-be tacklers bounce off him. Could be good in short yardage situations possibly?

 

I hope we see more of him... I'm a sucker for a big, bruising tailback.

 

I'm sure we'll see plenty of Martin. With Boom still out with his ankle and the injury to Saine (Not sure what or how long), that leaves Jordan Hall and Martin to carry to rock. I've been wondering what Martin would like to toting the ball and he definitely looked the part of a big back. Some of those runs looked fantastic! Next year will be unreal for our running back core: Boom, Saine, Hall, Martin, Berry, Hyde, Smith...good mix of seniors to freshmen with great talent, NICE.
