CHICAGO – For the second time in three weeks, Ohio State junior quarterback Terrelle Pryor is being honored by the Big Ten Conference. This week, behind a personal-best passing performance of 334 yards in the 38-10 win over Indiana, Pryor is the league’s co-Offensive Player of the Week.
Pryor shares the offensive honor this week with Wisconsin running back John Clay, who rushed for 111 yards and scored three times to lead the Badgers to a 41-23 win over Minnesota in the trophy game battle for Paul Bunyan’s Axe.
Pryor and Clay will be on the same field Saturday as Ohio State, the new No. 1 team in the nation, travels to Camp Randall Stadium for a 7 p.m. EDT game against No. 18 Wisconsin. ESPN will carry the action with ESPN College Gameday on site as well leading the hype.
Pryor’s personal-best day against the Hoosiers included three touchdown tosses to three different receivers – 22 yards to Dane Sanzenbacher; 60 yards to Brandon Saine; and 17 yards to DeVier Posey – and a fine 24-of-30 completions/attempts line. The 24 completions was another personal-best for Pryor, including one completion to himself off a batted ball.
Along the way Pryor tied school record-holder Joe Germaine with his sixth career game of 300 or more yards of total offense. He also passed Steve Bellisari (6,496 yards) for fourth place on Ohio State’ s all-time list total offense list. Pryor now has 6,518 yards.
