Purdue 26 - (7) Ohio State 18 : Things are not all good in Columbus. The Buckeyes dropped their second loss of the season to a team that has lost 5 straight. Purdue upset the Ohio State for their first conference win and OSU's first conference loss. I feel like I'm saying this every week but it's been true every week. QB Terrelle Pryor isn't there yet and we all need to realize that. QB is a tough position to come in and make an impact immediately. This kid is a true sophomore and is in his first full season as a full-time starter. I'm not saying he won't be good, I'm just saying it's going to take more time than everyone thought. What player does he remind us of: Vince Young. Vince's breakout year was his REDSHIRT sophomore year. I truly do believe that extra year is important. Pryor looks eerily similar to Vince his RS freshman year. Showing flares of unmatched talent, but not a dominant player. We need to back off and give this kid some time. And when I say we, that means you too Tressel. Because currently the Sweater-vest is putting his young QB in the position to do too much (see: 31 pass attempts and 21 carries for Pryor Saturday).
