By: Mike Lopresti (USAToday.com) -- COLUMBUS, Ohio — He is the quarterback, in a football cauldron named Ohio State no less. This means if he makes too many mistakes, which lead to too many defeats, he might as well be a roast in the oven, there is so much heat.
"I can speak for all the quarterbacks in the country," Terrelle Pryor was saying. "It's a hard thing to take sometimes, when you hear your name and people saying you can't do this ... Read More

By: Mark Hasty (FanHouse.com) -- It took more than a half, but eventually Ohio State's Terrelle Pryor proved that he's not all hype. The Buckeyes totally routed Minnesota Saturday 38-7 in Columbus.
Pryor and his coach, Jim Tressel, spent last week under continual assault from all corners. Part of it was just another expression of the college football world's Buckeye Fatigue Syndrome, but most of it was the natural consequence of OSU's dreadful performance last week. The Buckeyes turned the ball over ... Read More

By: Michelle Smith (FanHouse.com) -- Ohio State women's basketball coach Jim Foster isn't a guy prone to hyperbole, not one to oversell. The fact that his program last year reached the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time since 2005 last season was, in his estimation, "a step in the direction of success."
The steps that come next are much bigger and much harder. Case in point: the Buckeyes haven't been to the Elite Eight since 1987.
But this might be the team to ... Read More

COLUMBUS —
The college basketball teams David Lighty faced in August bore no resemblance to national powers such as North Carolina, Michigan State or Kansas.
It didn’t matter, though. Playing the likes of Windsor and Western Ontario in exhibition games was better than not playing at all.
Lighty saw his first action since December during Ohio State’s summer trip to Canada. The 6-foot-5 junior guard missed the majority of the 2008-09 season with a broken foot.
“Personally, it was a great feeling,” ... Read More

Congratulations, Ray Reitz. You said what a lot of us are thinking.
Terrelle Pryor's former high school coach suggested this week that maybe Ohio State coach Jim Tressel isn't using his quarterback quite right. Reitz says that now he sees "a robot" when watching the former No. 1 prep prospect in the country. Pryor should be running more, Reitz added.
Whatever, it's clear Pryor has regressed as ... Read More

What exactly does Brandon Saine need to do?
He has all the physical tools of a great running back. He's 6'1", 217 lbs and is lightning fast, running the 40 in 4.27 seconds. He has game-breaking speed and the strength to carry the pile. And have you seen him as a receiver?
He was the most impressive rusher in the season opener against Navy averaging 5.9 yards on nine carries. The next week against USC, he was rewarded with just ... Read More

Ohio State fans once feared they would have Terrelle Pryor as their quarterback for only three seasons.
Now, they're afraid they might be stuck with him for four.With no backups ready to replace him, and no Matt Barkley- or Tate Forcier-type recruits headed to Columbus, Pryor is more than the Buckeyes' quarterback of the present.
He's their quarterback of the future.
That scared opponents when Pryor broke on to the scene as a true freshman starter four games into last season, ... Read More
