Editorial: A
deeply felt thank you to Todd Boeckman
Todd deserves our sincere thanks for all he has done for the
team and the University. He led us to an
outstanding record last year and to the Championship game. For that and for his efforts this year we
thank him. All indications are that he
is a great young man and a credit to the University.

But OSU and
Big 10 football is big boy football.
That means that the best players play and the second best players are
key backups. Terrelle Pryor earned the
starting QB spot by his play against Troy
Saturday. He threw 4 touchdowns and had
no interceptions that counted. The last
hail mary of the 1st half was a good pass that had a chance and is
not a black mark against him.
Pryor made
mistakes like any freshman will. But
given his football IQ, it is very likely that he will not repeat those
mistakes.
I have
great appreciation for what Boeckman has contributed to OSU tradition. But now it is Pryor's time. Todd will get in and contribute but the lack
of strength in protecting the QB makes Pryor the best choice for OSU to win the
Big 10.
That's what
I think. Tell us what you think.
