Yeah, they gave Penn State a rough time last week, but I don't see an upset happening. Not with Pryor and Beanie. Not even against our schizo defense (how else could you describe the way they play other than schizophrenic? Sometimes great, sometimes mind-numbingly infuriating).
Pryor's numbers last week against Wisky were a dependable 13-19-144 with one pick and a 68.4 passing average and averaged 7.6 yards per pass. His overall passing stats this season are 42-65-440-5 with a whopping two picks in four starts and a 64.6 passing average. In comparison, Painter is 110-191-1225-5, but against Penn State he was 57.6 passing average 13-22-112 with one interception and averaged 5.1 yards.
Needless to say, Pryor has the edge in head-to-head match-up.
Receiving is where it gets a little tricky, though. Hartline is the leading wide receiver, going 13-226 with two touchdown receptions so far this season, while Robo is 22-213 with four touchdown receptions.
Purdue's Desmond Tardy is 25-393 with two touchdowns while Greg Orton is 30-330 with one touchdown. Purdue has the edge in passing, if and when Painter can actually throw the ball to his guys.
Long story short, expect to see more of the "Terrelle and Beanie Show" with both running circles around Purdue's defense.
My prediction:
Ohio State Buckeyes 31, Purdue Boilermakers 14
