Today’s Ohio State’s jersey scrimmage was won by the offense, but the real news continues to be the development of the team in preparation for the season’s start.
T. Wash snagged the only TD of the game on a 25 yard pass from Pryor. Taurian is looking strong thus far, but did have a few of the drops that have plagued him in the past.
Pryor was unable to scramble effectively- not due to the defense, but due to the limitations placed on him by the coaching staff. While the defense had an amazing day, you’ve got to wonder if knowing TP wouldn’t be running didn’t impact that a bit. According to Tim May, Terelle had a 10-21 day passing for 150 yards, one TD and no interceptions.
The defense was missing both of the starters at corner, yet Travis Howard and Corey Brown were impressive as replacements. In addition, Ross Homan left the scrimmage mid way though with a hamstring injury, and Andrew Sweat moved from Sam and Sabino filled in well. It sounds as if the starting LB position is still up for grabs, and it’s encouraging that both Sweat and Sabino are more than capable.
Dane Sanzenbacher also sat out today (savor the irony), and Posey continues to shine. Of the running backs, Jordan Hall stood out, while Jamaal Berry led statistically with 66 yards and 16 carries. The only fumble of the day came off the hands of Brandon Saine.
Believe it or not, the tight ends had five catches for 75 yards. I guess what we’re hearing about throwing the ball more is accurate. Don’t tell Woody.
