If they are as good as advertised, they will give their Freshman quarterback enough time to learn the new offense, read the OSU defense, have a glass of lemonade, and find an open receiver. The OSU offensive line is important as well, but as Lou Holtz pointed out, if the pass protection breaks down Pryor can run down the field and hand the ball to his receivers. The wild card is the fans. If the stadium is a zoo, it could help keep the game close. Many OSU alum got tickets to this game, hopefully they we will be loud and rowdy. A combination of a low tolerance and drinking early should help with that. If the game is close in the final quarter, I like Pryor's chances to make a big play. Also, I think Saine is a versatile running back and they should exploit his exceptional skills as a receiver and mix it up with some short screens and also some longer passes.
