Re: tOSU vs USC Game Thread
I see that the consensus here is that Pryor should start the rest of the season and Boeckman should break out the shellac to coat his spot on the bench.

I only saw bits and pieces of the game last night. That's all right. I saw the gist. The Bucks were awful and Tressel's trend of getting owned in big games is getting a little tired.
The Bucks had a lot of guys come back for one more chance at the NC. That ain't happening, even if the rest of the BCS implodes. Now, what will we see from the Bucks for the remainder of the season? Will all the high profile returnees just mail it in from this point? Who knows?
The USC game should be Boeckman's last start at tOSU. The guy never had impeccable credentials anyway, but he plays like a deer in headlights.
After the little that I saw from the Bucks last night, I am not only convinced that they are playing out the string at this point but that they aren't even a sure thing to win the Big 11. Last night's game just confirmed that they are miles away from contention and that the OU game wasn't such a mirage after all.
Re: tOSU vs USC Game Thread
It's tough...Tressel is a great recruiter. He owns the Big Ten. He beats Michigan. He won a National with a lesser team.
BUT...what has he done for us lately? National embarassment comes to mind.
He had better redeem himself with starting Pryor. Will he? Nope.
Pryor will certainly get more PT...but he won't start Terrell for many reasons. One...is cares more than I do about the Rose Bowl. Two...Terrell might not be ready and putting him in too early could hinder his development. Three is Tressel has some loyalty to his QBs...and won't completely abandon his senior.
Re: tOSU vs USC Game Thread
I think I'm done licking my wounds. As sad as Boeckman played, I think the play calling was really questionable. Why roll out an immobile qb, repeatedly? And run options with said immobile qb. I don't usually rail on Tressel, but I had a hard time watching that debacle.
Congrats to USC on a easy win.
