It’s a Ray Guy punt! It’s a dead bird falling out of the sky! No, it’s a Terrelle Pryor pass!

RUBIN won the game.

but at least some of them were sane enough to realize he has no chance of winning

Did NOTHING last year against anybody that was any good ( let’s remember that he was totally ineffective, then concussed, in the Shoe – DEVLIN won that game)."

All true. And guaranfuckingteed DC 17 knows it’s true. Which will help him. Immensely. Already has, imo, as we saw in the Rose Bowl second half, where he stood like a giant behind a battling offensive line and demonstrated the Poise that will get him what he craves: National Respect.

Dude is in training. And despite our OOC, there remain games on our schedule which will provide the stage for him to transcend and achieve.

Apparently 11W doesn’t understand principles behind betting. It isn’t “who is going to win” but “who will people bet on more, and how can we adjust the odds to make the most money off of the situation no matter WHO wins”. Betting is also HIGHLY influenced by hype and popularity. Why do you think Notre Dame always has favorable odds (I’d actually like to see a breakdown of ND vs the odds for the past 20 years. I bet they aren’t favorable. Heck, I wonder if someone could make a living just always betting against them, though I’m sure the oddsmakers take that into consideration as well.)

I also like the “what Pryor has to do to be in the running”
1. Beat USC – well this pretty much goes with #5, and is universal for anyone that wants to be taken in serious consideration for the Heisman. To win it nowadays you pretty much have to be undefeated and/or the quarterback of one of the top few teams in the country.

2. Put up Nintendo numbers – again, this is pretty much all the Heisman is about, but you still need #5. Also, I don’t see too many gaudy numbers coming against B10 defenses. There’s a reason 2 of the 3 names ahead of Pryor come from the Big XII

3. Read through the Progression Quicker (with a nod to arm strength and endurance). I’m pretty sure that’s just a pre-requisite for being a decent quarterback. If these are still concerns, how do you even pretend to think the Heisman is a “decent chance”??? This brings me to another point. He’s still only a true sophmore. Yeah yeah, TebowSmash proved that even a Sophmore can win it, but T-bone had the advantage of being a QB (McFadden should have won that year), and the next best QB was from Hawaii.

4. Lead by example and vocally: well if you aren’t leading by example, you most likely won’t be winning games. Other than that, though, I don’t see too many Heisman voters that would shy away from a Nintendo undefeated QB just because he isn’t a vocal leader. Heck, if they’re undefeated, people will still just praise his leadership skills and say that he’s a leader in the lockerroom and doesn’t interfere on the field. The media has a way of turning negatives into positives for the people/things they try to hype

5. DURRRRRRRRRR – sure, you can get an invite if you aren’t on a championship calibre team, but even if you’re the first RB in a LONG LONG time to break 2000 yards, you’re still only gonna finish third if your team has a few losses. (yeah yeah, Carson Palmer had 2 losses, but he was still on the 4th place team). It really basically comes down to the highest ranked “flashy/nintendo” QB

Nobody in the Big Ten will be. Not even Benn.

The Heisman is a conference beauty pageant. And the Big Ten is the ugly fat chick from Wyoming that wins Miss Congeniality. Our conference perception is in ruins right now. Unless OSU goes undefeated and very convincingly pummels USC and us, Cryor isn’t even getting a taxi cab to NYC.

In #2:

He will have to triple his passing yards and double his touchdowns through the air in order to just be in the race at the end of the season and will have to rush for close to 1,000 yards and double-digit scores on the ground to get an edge on his three opponents in that category.
 
All of these things are possible, as Terrelle just started 10 games last season and now will be behind center from game one.

Of course it is possible, by voting time he will have started 12 games, not just a measly 10.
LOL

Pryor will develop the play we all know he’s capable of:

Passing the ball to himself.

You see Pryor only throws wounded duck wobblers, but it’s NOT b/c he’s a shitty passer… It’s because he’s perfecting a system whereby he uses his insane speed to run underneath one of those floaters and catch his own pass. It’s all part of the plan, baby.

Pryor will easily win the Heisman b/c he’ll double his yardage by being both QB and receiver. And when he does, those wobbly punt-passes will

what I think is Pryor’s nick “LiC”. Anyone want to hazard a guess as to what that’s all about?

They have “beat USC” as a criteria for winning the heisman, but they completely ignore beating us in Happy Valley in front of 110,000 people who don’t care for him very much. Not to mention this will be his first time in Beaver Stadium as an opposing player.
