It will be hands off Ohio State Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor during spring practices

Associated PressWith the Buckeyes offense squarely placed on Terrelle Pryor's shoulders there will be a no-touching rule in effect for the sophmore quarterback when spring practice begins.
COLUMBUS -- Terrelle Pryor will be surrounded by invisible electric fencing during Ohio State's spring practices. Naughty defenders will be zapped with an electric shock like a dog straying from his yard. Actually, Jim Tressel hasn't thought of that quite yet. But an offense that clearly belongs to Pryor -- with running back Beanie Wells, both starting receivers, the starting tight end and three starting linemen gone -- will have to function during 15 spring practices without taking out the star of the show.
With incoming freshman Kenny Guiton not yet in school and walk-on freshman Ross Oltorik focusing on baseball, the Buckeyes have only Pryor, redshirt sophomore Joe Bauserman and new freshman walk-on Justin Siems behind center with spring practice starting today.



This is an offense that should feature fewer fullback and I formations, Tressel said, while attempting to work new pieces into the scheme, like pass-catching redshirt freshman Jake Stoneburner, who is moving from receiver to tight end. But while Tressel expressed renewed enthusiasm for sophomore running back Dan Herron and emphasized what a big spring it is for his young receivers, the most dangerous part of the Ohio State attack won't be on display very often. "We probably won't run the quarterback a whole bunch this spring honestly, because we only have two of them," Tressel said. "But it's something we've got to figure out. One of the things I remember with Troy [Smith], Troy would get so upset when he was young because he didn't want that black jersey on. He wanted to go make plays. We were trying to work on other things, but we didn't want to get him killed."
That goes double for Pryor. This spring should be more about the passing game anyway, with Tressel appreciating Pryor's careful tendencies last season, but knowing he has to be more willing to let the ball go into tight spots.
