As the OSU broadcasters said before the end of the game, OSU is going to have to go undefeated next season to get have a shot at the national title game, there's no way they go after two straight losses unless they have a perfect record.
The Buckeyes are the new Sooners, back-to-back trips to the big game and back-to-back losses. Been a sad two days for Ohio college football.

Even as a long-time hater of OSU I can't talk trash about that game for a variety of reasons, one of them being that they lost it (at least in part) much in the same manner as we lost our game: You can't make mental mistakes (personal fouls) and give the ball away to a good offense and hope to win a game.

JAMES JAHNKE:
Why nation's No. 1 recruit Terrelle Pryor should pick Ohio State over Michigan
If Terrelle Pryor, perhaps the No. 1 football recruit in the country, wants to start as a freshman, he should go to Michigan. There’s no doubt about that.
He’s a quarterback in the mold of Vince Young, tall and mobile. Given the depleted state of the Wolverines’ depth chart, the Jeannette, Pa., product would be the first-stringer the moment he signed on the dotted line.
But if his ultimate designs are on the NFL – and whose aren’t at that age? – he should go to Ohio State. There, he won’t be thrown to the wolves before he’s ready.
There, he’ll have to earn his position. And there, he’ll better learn how to be an NFL signal caller.
Rich Rodriguez’s zone-read offense is tailor-made for Pryor. But what will that do for him at the next level? West Virginia quarterback Pat White – Rodriguez’s former pupil -- is a terrific college player, but his best bet for an NFL future is as a cornerback or kick returner. Granted, Pryor has better physical tools than White. But NFL teams will be skeptical of a QB coming out of a zone-read offense, no matter how talented he is.
Ohio State certainly would add some zone-read facets to its offense to best utilize Pryor, but the Buckeyes likely would fold those into a more well-rounded scheme – incorporating the traditional play-action and downfield passing attacks -- similar to what Texas did when it had Young. It’s critical that NFL evaluators see some drop-back passing on film. How often does White drop back at West Virginia?
Exactly.
The other advantage for a quarterback avoiding a straight-up zone-read offense is longevity. Every time Pryor runs the ball, he risks blowing out his knee. He would, of course, also run at OSU, but not as much as at U-M. You can get hurt in the pocket, too, but it’s much safer in there than out on the edge, trying to juke safeties and linebackers diving at your legs every play.
The final point in the Buckeyes’ favor is the trusted theory that quarterbacks, like offensive linemen, are best served by easing into the lineup. How did Jimmy Clausen look at Notre Dame this year? And Ryan Mallett at U-M? They were the consensus top two freshman QBs in the country, and Pryor could face a similar situation if he starts from day one at U-M next season. If he were to attend OSU, he’d probably back up incumbent Todd Boeckman next fall, playing a series here and there and causing havoc in the red zone. Then, after Boeckman graduates, the offense is all his in 2009. Sound like Tim Tebow’s career to anyone?
We won’t even get into the fact that Pryor is tight with most of OSU’s verbal commitments – they stuck a Buckeye sticker on his helmet at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl last weekend, and he didn’t take it off.
This will be mostly a business decision for Pryor. If he wants to start right away, it’s Ann Arbor. But if he wants to groom himself for an NFL future – and know what it’s like to win the last game of the regular season – it’s Columbus.
Boy, sure sounds like he crossed Ohio State off of his list.

Thats cool but I will take someone who actually knows what there talking about over this clown.Falcon137 wrote:Cool tek....All I told you was what Todd Mcshey reported on Sportscenter one night.
P.S.
Pryor switched roomates duing the week of practive atthe AAA game so that he could room with Michael Brewster (OSU commit, Orlando, Florida) who got there later in the week. Brewster did not play in the game due to slight shoulder injury recovery but was there for half of the week's activities.
J.B. Shugarts, Michael brewster, and Mike Adams (I think Mike enrolled early anyways) are all officially enrolled in winter quarter and are on campus. Sweet!
