The Pryor era has begun in Ohio’s capital.  After a sloppy loss at USC, the conservative Senator Tressel pulled the plug on 6th year senior Todd Boeckman, giving super recruit Terrelle Pryor his first start against the Troy Trojans.  Coach Jim stated throughout the week that Pryor and Boeckman would be splitting time under center.  However, it was Pryor that took 98% of the snaps.  Going into the game, we knew we were going to start Terrelle, but we also felt as if there were some things Todd had been doing better and we wanted to get him in there early,’ Tressel said.

In his starting debut, TP tossed 4 touchdown passes and had a last-second first-half heave picked off.  This doubles Boeckman’s TD passes through the first 3 games.  The 18 year old freshman also covered 66 yards on the ground, including some very impressive movement in and out of the pocket.  While Buckeye fans are rejoicing in their new-found star, let’s not forget that his performance still had some holes to it and was against the defense of Troy.

If Tressel does keep Pryor as the starter, his first big test will come in two weeks when the 13th ranked (overrated?) Buckeyes travel to Camp Randall to take on the Wisconsin Badgers at night; where the Buckeyes have had problems in years past. 

Will Chris “Beanie” Wells be back for that Big Ten showdown?  Will anyone know what is true injury is?
