and i will say that jooe mcknight is a f'ning beast as the rb from osu..

He had a crappy game...but so did Pryor...

Barkley: 15 of 31, 195, took 2 sacks, threw a pick and 0 TD's
Pryor: 11 of 25 for 177, took one HUGE sack, and threw a pick

It was such a defensive battle, and the two teams were so evenly matched it was scary...

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.

That's my take...he played "Tressel ball" to perfection, and EVERY player on the field delivered but Pryor. Pryor was right when he said the Bucks should have won by 2 TD's, but wrong for not taking 100% blame on himself. HE was the reason they lost by three instead of won by 14. He should have rushed 20 times and passed for 15 instead of 10 and 25.

Is it too late to convert Pryor to LB????

God, I hope not...the OSU LB'ers looked better than last years group!

I think Pryor will be fine as long as he realizes that, for at least another year, he needs to run first and pass second...if he learns to do what Troy Smith did, which was, off the boot, take a step forward like he is going to run, then step back and pass, he can be a devastatingly effective passer, but he needs to be a run first guy in order to pull those DB's up on the fake...

glad there is a thread for this

GO BUCKS!!!!!!!

Not sure how good Wiscy actually is, but anytime you play an undefeated team this late in the season you have to take them seriously.

Two big physical teams, and in this era of spread 'em and throw it, it's fun to watch two teams line up and punch each other in the mouth for 3 hours.

[xfl2001fan]

That was about as ugly a win as I've seen in a while. Wisconsin was better than I gave them credit for.

[revefsreleets]

Wiscy averaged 35 points game coming into Saturday's game. They held the ball for FORTY TWO minutes and OSU held them to 13 points.

The defense is certainly good enough to keep them in the NC picture this year....it's probably the best defense in the country, or very close to it...

I'm a Steelers fan, i'm 20 yrs old, and i loooove the steelers. i was wearing a Kordell Stewart jersey as early as 1997, at 8 years old. and i've never stopped following them

that being said, i'm a diehard Indians fan, and an even bigger Cavs fan. I could care less about the Browns because they weren't around when I got into football. What respectful Steelers fan has a problem with that? when it comes down to it, i'm always rooting for the Steelers. Isn't that what it's all about
