Look out, Big Ten. Terrelle Pryor is starting to get it.
The Ohio State sophomore quarterback turned in a very impressive first half against Indiana, rushing for 75 yards on 11 carries and tossing touchdown passes to sophomore DeVier Posey and freshmen Duron Carter and Zach Boren (Justin's brother). It's nice to see Pryor getting more receivers involved near the goal line.
Pryor seems more willing to take off and run, and his football instincts are improving each week as Ohio State leads Indiana 24-7. He seems to be getting better each week, which bodes well for the stretch run.
Indiana probably deserves to be a little closer than 17 points, but the Hoosiers have committed two turnovers. Defensive lineman Todd Denlinger's interception of Ben Chappell late in the half really turned things fully toward Ohio State's favor. Indiana has done a decent job of moving the ball through the air, but you can't fumble and throw interceptions against the Buckeyes.
