I knew it would be a defensive battle, however I was incorrect in thinking it would be Barkely who needed to manage the intimidating atmosphere of the shoe. As much as I don't think Pryor is the real deal at OSU, I was really surprised how poorly he played. He needed to run more and Revs is right he looked like he consciously made decisions not to run when he could have in order to prove he could pass. His passes were fine but his progression and decision making was flat out miserable.

I was listening to Colin Cowherd and he advanced the argument that Tressel did the right thing by pinning USC deep in the Shoe the WHOLE game. Not sure how I feel about it but as time goes on, I blame Tressel less and Pryor more.
