Buckeye fans ready to see even more improvement from Pryor

   After seeing Terrelle Pryor unseat Todd Boeckman and become the Buckeyes starter last season, buckeye fans are eagerly awaiting the progress of their highly touted QB. Terrelle Pryor, from inside sources, has been working on his footwork, football IQ, and even throwing the ball so much his arm was soar before the spring game. This QB, the most highly touted QB in Buckeyes history, has a chip on his shoulder for those who say he is just a great running quarterback. Given what we have seen thus far, he has the work ethic of other great superstar athletes. Some could even say he prepares like Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Tiger Woods, and other extremely talented athletes that have gone on to prove doubters wrong.

     It is only up to Terrelle Pryor to show whether or not he has what it takes to become the great passing QB that he wants to be. So far, from the effort standpoint, he has all the makings of the next Buckeye great, and possibly the even better than the beloved Troy Smith. All remains to be seen if he can go on to have a stellar Heisman winning career such as Mr. Smith did. He has even heeded advice from the Baltimore Ravens back up QB. And having someone with that type of experience in your corner has to be an unbelievable advantage.

     The things I like about this kid is the effort, intensity, and willingness to listen to coaches and former players who have something to offer. Then he goes out and works hard by watching film, practicing footwork, and all the fundamentals that could make him the greatest OSU QB to ever wear the uniform. It is only up to him as to what achievements he can reach. With the buckeyes past trouble in bowl games, having a star like Terrelle Pryor only builds upon the high expectations buckeye fans have every year. So, with that being said, let us continue to hope Mr. Pryor will lead these buckeyes past USC and the rest of the schedule, and possibly to another chance at a National Championship.
