    I see where he was carried off the field in the 3rd qtr. I hope he's just got a mild sprain of something and will be full speed for USC. I hate to see a kid like him get hurt. I know it's the risk everytime you step on the field whether or not you are playing an easy opponent or your toughest game of the year.

    ....I think I want to vomit! Early indications were bad, but x-rays were negative suggesting a soft tissue injury. Nothing definitive till further tests/pictures.....I wish him the best. He's a great kid. Stay tuned....

    On another and much less significant note, Pryor is a freak.......keep in mind that VY never saw the field as a freshman and became one of the very best college football players the game has ever seen. When Pryor was in the game, early, he was the best player on the field. Wow......

    Pryor

    <t>Buckeye,<br/>

    I got my first look at Pryor in their game today and he is a freak. VY to this day is not the speciman this kid is and if you arean OSU fan you have to be ultra excited.<br/>
    <br/>
    In other action...... Anyone catch the scatbacks Florida ran out today?<br/>
    <br/>
    USC is sick as usual. Hope Utah continues to carve up Michigan.<br/>
    <br/>
    Va Tech lost to much on defense this year and their QB is awful.<br/>
    <br/>
    Got my first exposure today to a full plate of U-verse package of college football and never seen so many games available on my TV.<br/>
    <br/>
    Looking forward to Bama/Clemson tonight plus ending the day watching Ty lose to Oregon.<br/>
    <br/>
    Please keep the damn hurricane away from the Houston area. Prayers needed for whatever area has to deal with this one.</t>

    While x-rays were negative, ankle injuries can be very troublesome!

    I am keeping my fingers crossed.

    "In other action...... Anyone catch the scatbacks Florida ran out today?"

    Yes...of course I did and I remarked to my son that the three long TD runs by Brandon James ( 74 yd punt return ), Chris Rainey and Jeff Demps all reminded me of his NCAA 2009 game with the speed and moves they exhibited. Can you imagine once Percy Harvin joins the mix?

    I also agree Pryor was special but he has a few defenses that are a little quicker coming up in the future.....like USC in two weeks.

    Much too bad about Wells....hopefully he will be full speed for the Trojans.

    ....the big deal in Buckeye land is all about Beanie.....Pryor was never counted on for anything but a few quality reps here and there to get the attention of the opposition for a series or two....he is three on the depth chart and will likely continue to be a #3 when we fly to LA...but, he is gonna be a b!tch when it is his turn.......as of right now, I'd trade Pryor for a healthy Beanie......how do you replace Beanie?

    Beanie Watch Day 2:

    still no definitive word - it's not his ankle, which plagued him last year, or knee. Coach Tress characterized it as a "foot thing". Whatever it is, I hope he's a quick healer.
