Is All Right in Buckeye World?
If you had asked me to predict the outcome of last weeks game, I would have not said it would be a dominating performance. I would have believed a tight game with either team squeaking out a win. The fact that we dominated PSU on both sides of the ball was shocking (and most welcome) to say the least!
One has got to ask, who is this offensive line which showed and dominated a PSU Dline with 5-6 NFL caliber players? More importantly, where has this line been all year and will the come back to play again this year? Pryor also showed restraint in his decision making and didn't put us in danger to lose the game.
Heyward treated the PSU Oline like ragdolls for the entire game. They couldn't get any rhythm established. The secondary (especially Chekwa) held everyone in place.
Really there are no complaints about this outstanding effort. The only issues come after the game. Pryor was a little too smug in the post game interview. Sure a little cockiness is good in a QB, but a) he hasn't earned it and b) he is way too full of himself. We won the game partly because he played within himself and partly because there wasn't tremendous pressure on him the whole game. Before we get carried away with ourselves, let us remember we have been way too inconsistent on offense to allow ourselves to think we have arrived. Just like in the Purdue game, we can have ups and downs through the course of the season. Last time I checked, Iowa still has their defense intact and 4 turnovers from one cocky QB could end another day for us. In addition, UM isn't a cake walk, as it is a rivalry game and will be desperation for RichRod who will be trying to save his job.
Sure, we may have gotten back on the track to our winning ways, but the verdict is still out whether we have twisted the Ginn...
