When Terrelle Pryor committed to Ohio State last year, big things immediately were expected from the dual-threat quarterback from Pennsylvania. buy prescription drugs online It didn't take long for him to become the Buckeyes' starter. He ran for 631 yards and threw for 1,311 while completing 60.6 percent of his pass attempts. Despite that success, concern lingers: Can a running quarterback be successful throwing the ball?

BEREA —
It’s hardly as if Ohio is all Brian Robiskie ever knew.
He lived his first seven years outside Los Angeles; the next seven outside Washington.
But the rest is all Ohio. How far does that get him now that he’s making the transition from the Ohio State Buckeyes to the Cleveland Browns?
He barely knows Brady Quinn, the Ohio-bred Browns quarterback.
“I’ve met him,” Robiskie said. “I’ve talked to him a couple times over the phone. That was it.”
The Browns ... Read More

BEREA - Like it or not, receivers Brian Robiskie and Mohamed Massaquoi will have to become friends.
Although they will compete for playing time next season for the Browns as second-round draft choices, both should get on the field for an offense that was woefully weak in depth at the position prior to the draft. The better they co-exist, the better the chance of offensive success in the 2009 season.
From the little coach Eric Mangini has seen ... Read More

Now that spring practice is complete, I'll have five thoughts on each Ohio State position group this week: offensive line, receivers, running backs, quarterbacks, defensive line, linebackers and defensive backs.
Let's start with the receivers.
Ohio State receivers
Thought No. 1
Brian Robiskie and Brian Hartline will be more difficult to replace than you might think.
One thing we know by now is that Ohio State produces NFL quality receivers on a regular basis. In the last six years, eight ... Read More

For the last several months, I've been pondering a story, trying to figure out the best way to go about it while bouncing the premise off other people who follow Ohio State. And it went something like this:
Why I think Ohio State might lose four games next season.
This was my thinking.
There are eight starters back on defense, but the three guys who led the way there are gone. The offensive line was a giant question ... Read More

Ohio State should have eight or nine players drafted over the next two days. A final look at the draft possibilities of OSU players today and Sunday:
* Malcolm Jenkins, CB/S: The most likely Buckeye off the board first, he could go as high as No. 9 to Green Bay and doesn't look like he'll get past New Orleans at No. 14 or Houston at No. 15. Guess: No. 14 to New Orleans
* Beanie Wells, ... Read More

COLUMBUS - When the Ohio State receivers got together for their first spring meeting with position coach Darrell Hazell, they instinctively lined up by seniority, with the youngest players in the back of the group.
It was at that moment Dane Sanzenbacher realized that if the group had a couple of gray beards, one of them was him. After just two seasons with Ohio State on his resume, the former City League star was now one of ... Read More

Columbus -- Ohio State receiver Ray Small considered leaving early for the NFL, but he didn't like the way he would have been remembered as a Buck- eye.
"I couldn't leave as the bad guy," Small, a Glenville High pills online grad, said Friday. "I wanted to show the world I can do it. I didn't want to go out on that note."
"That note" concerned Small's suspension late last season for repeated violations of ... Read More

The 2009 version of the Ohio State Buckeyes will have to replace much of the star power which produced one of the most successful four-year runs in the program’s illustrious history.
Led by All-American-caliber players such as James Laurinaitis, Marcus Freeman, and Malcolm Jenkins on defense, and Chris Wells, Brian Robiskie, Alex Boone, and Todd Boeckman on offense, the culminating class racked up an impressive 42-5 regular season record and made four straight BCS appearances. They ... Read More
