I don't see Tressell putting the game in anyone's hand bu Boeckman's.

More importantly is how little he (Pryor) was used in the second game against a decent set of defensive backs. I have to believe that Tressel was throughly [censored]ed by the teams performance against OU as it kept him from being able to get Pryor more snaps. I'd bet dollars to donut holes that the plan was to get up by 14 and turn the game over to TP.
The only games in which I have seen Tressel go against Tressel ball were the Michigan game in 04 when he turned Troy loose and the 05 Bowl game against Okie State where he lost his starting QB. The man is just not a gambler.
I think you might see Pryor in for a few new wrinkles, maybe as a receiver, running a reverse or catching the bubble pass, but probably not a single snap from center unless its a 21 point spread in either direction.
