BuckeyeXtra - OSU notebook: Pryor to play with ankle pain

His left ankle still hurts, but Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor expects to push through the pain again this week.

[OSU73]

We all hope that Pryor can play without making the ankle injury worse. If he injurs it so much more that he can't continue to play... with the drop off in talent with Bauserman... there goes the Rose Bowl and maybe even a win at the Big House. Good luck Buckeyes and especially good luck Terrelle... don't play any more than necessary to win the game.

[SEE THE LIGHT]

We all hope Pryor can stay healthy. But he is not the only winning factor with the Bucks... they can do it without him!!!

[Wron]

Without Pryor they're going to need multiple defensive and special teams scores to win the next two games. A Rose Bowl win would probably be out of the question. Not to downplay the talent of the rest of the team at all, and not to say Bausermann is a bad QB, but coming in with so little game time experience I really doubt things will click enough as far as patterns and timing go. They're rough enough as it is currently.

TP should try accupuncture on that ankle.....I bet it would help.

GO BUCKS!

[brutus]

See the light, osu can't win without pryor. Bauserman can't run this offense.

[Buckeye in Phoenix]

My guess is that Pryor is doing quite a bit better than Stanzi. He'll be just fine.

I'm more worried about the O lines heart than Pryors ankle.
Fire Bollman and hire a qualified QB coach!

[Toledo Guy]

Buckhead, the offensive line has had injuries and the flu all year. I don't think there has been any consistency because every week there is a new group of guys blocking and learning to play different positions.

[Dan]

another excuse for Ohio State if they lose... if they win, it will be because pryor is "so tough"...rediculous ohio state... rediculous

Does that explain the O line being paper tigers for the past several years? Every year, OSU lands five star O linemen. How many Bollman coached linemen are playing on Sunday, or JT coached QB's for that matter?

Fire Bollman and hire a qualified QB coach!

Um yeah because "rediculous" is definitely a word. TP is creating a contingency plan, because he's so afraid of getting beaten by a 14.5 underdog, without its starting QB/RB, at home. It's all one huge conspiracy. I bet "The Vest" is the puppet master behind this awesome plan. Way to figure it all out.

How many u. meyer qb's playing on Sundays? How many stoops qb's playing on Sundays? How many miles qb's playing on Sundays? Russel is no qb. How many saban qb's playing on Sundays? I guess they all suck too.

A pryor in the pocket means INTs for Iowa's secondary. If pryor can't rollout, scramble with his ankle, Iowa doesn't have to worry about the outside. However, Iowa still will have to figure out how to score since their coach has thrown the towel in for the running game

POOR QB PRYOR!!! His ankle hurts. I feel so sorry for him. You never hear GATOR QB TEBOW complain about an injury. Playing in the "WEAK 11", just makes you mentally weak. Your streak of losing to Top 10 Teams should end this weak. OSU 24, Iowa 14. IT'S GREAT TO BE A FLORIDA GATOR!!!

Get the duct tape! Another Hawkeye fan is on to us! Pryor apparently couldn't rollout for a 7 yard TD against Penn State (and ran through an all american linebacker). He also couldn't step up and throw a TD pass.

From the looks of things, PSU and Iowa both have great defenses. Without Stanzi and with a freshman RB, I'd rather take our defense and our backfield. I don't think it will be a blowout, but I predict OSU may just cover.

Did you graduate from FL? Or did you just latch your lips onto Urban's ass?

Redonkulous, Dan! Redonkulous!!!!

No he is in love with tebow, he's hoping gay marriage passes so he can propose.

Meyer has won two of the last three national titles. Saban has won a national title and been Coach of The Year two times. Miles and Meyer's teams proved the disparity between their program and ours. USC humbled us two years in a row. When JT wins a title (without an assist from Cooper) I'll shut up about his choice of assistant coaches. IMHO Luke Fickell and Darrell are the only ones worth keeping. But as long as we win the lame Big Ten and beat a terrible Michigan team nothing will change. If Pryor doesn't get a LOT better OSU will never get a #1 nationally ranked QB under this staff. To date the fifth string QB at UC is a better QB than Prior.
