Hopefully he can keep that level of focus for an entire 60 minutes. the QB who fit that ball into Ray Small through traffic is not the same QB that missed a wide open Posey. As Beanie, said......are you going to be a boy or man?

I think TP answered that question
You know I thought about that same thing. During the majority of the game, he was pretty hesitant. But during that last drive, he took some chances (like that pass to Ray). He probably realized at that point, no guts no glory.

I hope that gives him even more confidence moving forward.

Hopfully after playing great teams like wisconsin, this will help pryors vision and help slow the game down for him.

He has the arm and he has the accuracy, im assuming fearing a mistake is the only reason he'll wait be to 100% sure before throwing some passes. But him winning the game for us will be the first thing to shake that fear off.

I think that may have been a stage TB couldnt get out of, even after he had Great games.

Here's the deal about Terrelle - his decisionmaking is phenomenal for a frosh. During the course of the game, with the Buckeyes leading or easily in reach, he played a very conservative game, taking sacks rather than risking INTs. Hell, his 2 INTs on the season were better than punts, so who cares? They were truly low-risk passes.

When the game was on the line, Terrelle adjusted his approach in a way really good QBs know how to do. He knew he had to accept more risk, so he did so, though still firmly within the flow of the game.

He is displaying a mental approach to the game that is really precocious. It will be fun to watch this kid the next 2.5 seasons!

I am thinking Krenzel with his accaptance of risk. With the game on the line Craig would let it fly.

Agree with this. Pryor has a terrific gift in the mental department for football and it is this that really makes the difference. His physical gifts are enormous, but it is the mental ones that give him the possibility to be great.

It is incredible that a player with Pryor's immense skills, who could arguably still be quite good, and at times breathtakingly so just relying on those skills, has the desire to work his tail off as a true frosh, not only on the practice fields but in the film room.

Thank you JT and staff for giving me the opportunity to watch this special young man mature and grow while wearing the S&G.

Tressel: Pryor?s form just fine; Herron won?t play against Purdue

By Doug Harris | Tuesday, October 7, 2008, 01:32 PM
The college football world may have been skeptical about whether Terrelle Pryor was more hype than substance, but he proved that all the recruiting buzz about him was valid when he orchestrated a game-winning touchdown drive against Wisconsin on Saturday.
Pryor led the Buckeyes on an 80-yard march for the winning score. He had two key completions to Brian Hartline, who lucked out when his fumble after a 27-yard gain to the Wisconsin 35-yard line was recovered by teammate Brian Robiskie, who just happened to be in the area.
The Buckeyes then ran off six plays, five of them runs by either Beanie Wells or Pryor. The only pass in that stretch was a perfect toss to Ray Small in the end zone, and the former Cleveland Glenville star dropped the pass (it wouldn?t have counted anyway since he had stepped out of bounds earlier on his own).
Pryor?s passing skills have been better than advertised. Although he doesn?t have a text-book throwing motion, he has plenty of arm strength and accuracy, and OSU coach Jim Tressel doesn?t intend to fiddle with Pryor?s form.
?I don?t know if we fuss with anybody?s motion,? Tressel said on the Big Ten teleconference Tuesday. ?We talk about results and talk about when the ball needs to get let go and the type of velocity it needs. But, no, we don?t monkey with technique ? unless there?s something glaring keeps them from being able to be successful. But Terrelle doesn?t have that situation.?

OSU's Tressel likes Pryor's can-do attitude on the field
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
BY TODD PORTER
TODD.PORTER@CANTONREP.COM

COLUMBUS What the the country saw in Terrelle Pryor last weekend, Jim Tressel saw long ago. That, not his gifted athleticism and strong arm, is what first got the Ohio State football coach's attention.

Starting his first must-win game in a hostile environment at Camp Randall Stadium, Pryor didn't flinch after the Badgers took a 17-13 lead with six minutes to play. There was a look of confidence in his face as Pryor knew what had to be done.

The 18-year-old freshman quarterbck nodded his head a couple of times, put his mouthpiece in, grabbed his helmet and carried his team to a 20-17 win.

That's the can-do attitude Tressel recruited.

"There's no question about it. When you watched Terrelle compete in high school ? whether it was football or basketball ? he was a determined, competitive young guy," Tressel said.

"He's that way in practice. When he doesn't do something as well as he thinks he can, that disappoints him."

Pryor didn't do much wrong in the winning drive. He completed passes of 19, 27 and 13 yards during the 12-play, 80-yard possession. He recognized Wisconsin's defense was confused, got the ball snapped, faked an option pitch to Chris "Beanie" Wells and ran into the end zone for an 11-yard game-winning score.

The discussion of Pryor's passing mechanics by the sports pundits bemuses me. One man's "quick release; no wasted motion" is another man's "awkward, dart-throwing style." ??? I haven't really seen any issues with Terrelle's arm strength or accuracy, given that he's a freshman in college. Both will likely improve over his tenure here.

I think Tress has the right idea. If the ball gets to the right place at the right time, and the defense doesn't have an undue shot at knocking down the pass at the LOS, who cares what the motion looks like?

Actually, even I can see that his motion is a bit awkward. It gets the job done, but it could be much better.
