The Penitent Man

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 11:55:50 -0500

11/21/2009 – Michigan 10, Ohio State 21 – 5-7, 1-7 Big Ten Well… that could have gone worse. Unlike last year, it is possible to construct an alternate universe in which Michigan wins the game. This universe contains 80% fewer crippling Forcier errors; not much else is different. Like last week's admission of crippling ennui after game 11, this is progress of a sort. The sort is still "not very fun progress at all," but it's progress. Better than the slight com...

by Jay MariottiFiled under: NCAA FootballCOLUMBUS, Ohio -- Welcome to the heartland, home of the Big Ten, a league that doesn't deserve its own TV network and should respectfully reject a Rose Bowl bid on the basis of stodginess and cowardice. Ever wonder why the best talent routinely heads southward and westward? You should have seen the final minutes of the conference's unofficial title game Saturday evening, when two prominent head coaches laid down, played for overtime and reminde...

Terrelle Pryor: Fastest Football Player for Ohio State

Terrelle Pryor Fastest Quarterback" width="238" /> Terrelle Pryor: Fastest Football Player for Ohio State

Reported by Lamaar Thomas, a speed demon himself, Terrelle Pryor had the fastest 40 time in summer team activities for the Ohio State Football team. Pryor recorded a 4.33 with Thomas coming in close at 4.37 and everyone else somewhere above 4.4, Thomas told the media recently. Michael Brewster reported similar statistics in the spring after timed sprints.

By Steve Patterson

Ohio State is known for having a fast track but if he can keep that speed until he is ready for the NFL, he will be the fastest quarterback to to enter the draft in 4 years. And at 235lbs, he could be the fastest player at the combine that weights over 200lbs. Last year only Raiders wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey had a faster time.

Others at the top of the speed list for Ohio State included Ray Small, DeVier Posey, and Brandon Saine. All in the low 4.4s. If speed is the factor that sets the best teams apart from the rest, Ohio State has enough speed at their offensive skill positions this year to compete with anyone in the country.
