Those are what I call secondary correlations. In all cases they were arguable the best teams we played in those years regardless of the nature of their QB. |

IF he really does go to michigan I'll be one worried kid... to be honest why wouldn't he go to michigan though? He gets to be the starter right away, he gets to play in a pass/run offense, and he gets to go to a place that gets good players/national attention as well. IMO him not going to Michigan would be a major surprise. Anyone else see Pryor going there? Also what are the chances Jenkins goes to Michigan as well?? |
Vince beat us with his arm that day. Michael Robinson beat us with his defense that day. Chris Leak (is not mobile) and Tim Tebow beat us with their defense that day. Despite my excuses for the other games, I give all the credit in the world to Juice. His bulb burned bright that day.

The thing Terrelle won't take into account and I wish he would is what we do with our personel. We dont' stick to one system we play a system that fits our kids. Look at what Troy did not what Todd is doing. He's been quoted as being worried about our system and that's weird he would say such a thing when we just imployed an offense for a mobile QB just last year?? How quickly things are forgotten!

You really think this hasn't been addressed since that article? Heck you don't even need a bright coaching mind, just have Brewster send Pryor a youtube link from any of the past 3 seasons. How exactly did Pryor get interested in OSU if he remembers nothing from that era?
Perhaps the concern is not as valid/legit as it appears.

I'd say it's now 50/50 OSU and michigan, but he hasn't even visited Michigan yet so once I think he does that it's over.

Well then let's pack it in, it's over guys.

Anyways I don't think RR is the man for the job but thats just me. Hit system could give OSU problems as far as on offense but his 3-3-5 system on defense would be a disaster against us. His ethics are somewhat iffy as well so its a good committment for michigan to have RR but not a great committment.
Chris leak was above average IMO in running ability.... he just didn 't do it as much. He had the potential to run but would rather pass the ball. Anyone would look like a pro style QB next to Tim Tebow though |

That is a remarkable statement.
1. Pryor does not have the relationship with the UM players he has with OSU players. Players who include an incoming OL class that UM can't touch.
2. AA is further from home and can't touch our facilities.
3. Michigan is effectively starting a rebuilding process from a position well below where OSU now stands.
4. The O we associate with WVU of recent years is not an O that prepares a QB for the pros.
5. Unless and until he transfers (pure speculation at this point) Mallett is a major player at UM and could be for the next three years.
6. JT is not chopped liver.
That he would check UM out should have been expected. That they are now the favorites is an incredible reach. |
