ANN ARBOR, Mich. -- Jim Tressel hates turnovers, and the Ohio State head coach just got another reminder how damaging they can be.
Tressel, who many have said takes the ball out of Terrelle Pryor's hands too much, watched Pryor throw his first interception since Oct. 24. Michigan capitalized with some magic from quarterback Tate Forcier, and the Wolverines cut their deficit to 14-10.
Pryor telegraphed his throw to DeVier Posey on third-and-4, and Michigan linebacker Jonas Mouton intercepted the ball after a deflection. I'm still puzzled why Pryor doesn't just run the ball more often, as Michigan hasn't been able to consistently stop him.
Forcier, meanwhile, showed why he's one of the Big Ten's most exciting players. He kept a third-down play alive with his feet, found an open area and then made an unbelievable throw across the field to Vincent Smith for an 18-yard touchdown. The freshman is definitely a gamer, and he's trying to lead Michigan back.
Michigan wideouts Roy Roundtree and Greg Mathews both are turning in big performances today.
