Nope. I agree with Pryor getting a handful of plays. A handful of running plays does not equal "basically our #2 runningback".

The stuff about lining Pryor at RB is simply put into my mouth.

Nope. I bolded it above for you. Lining up in the backfield with Beanie, your own words.

Tressel is not going to risk getting his players hurt? LOL why did he run Smith? How many TDs did Smith have in his career? Why did Mack Brown run Vince Young? This is a game of football, and physical contacts are allowed.

Designed runs for a QB are much different than taking a handoff or a pitch. Designed runs typically catch a defense by surprise whereas when you get the ball from the QB, they're keying on you. How many big hits did you see Troy or VY take?

If Pryor starts to get 7, 8 yards a pop and maybe break a couple early on, he will gradually steal more and more snaps from Saine and MoWells.

I agree, but not lining up in the backfield with somebody else under center. Just don't see it personally. Now, if you're talking the occasional play from the "Shot Ginn" position mentioned above by Mili, I could by it. Just not on a regular basis.
