OSU's Terrelle Pryor, Dan Herron get day's top accolades
Pete Bigelow hands out game balls after Ohio State's 37-7 win over Michigan, with four being the best:
TERRELLE PRYOR (3): Michigan's nemesis had one of his better games, keeping the Wolverines defense at bay with accurate passes and well-timed runs. The Ohio State quarterback completed 18 of 27 passes for 220 yards and two touchdowns, while running 12 times for 49 yards.
DAN 'BOOM' HERRON (3): Ohio State's workhorse back made a strong case for all-Big Ten first team consideration with another strong performance. He carried 22 times for 175 yards and a touchdown, and tied the school record for longest play from scrimmage with an 89-yarder in the third quarter.
JORDAN KOVACS (2): MIchigan's defense, although ultimately worn down Saturday, hit harder in the first half than it had all season. No one flew around the ball more than Kovacs, who had a ridiculous 17 tackles from his safety position, including one for a loss. He also had an interception right before the half that prevented another Buckeye score and kept the flickering hopes of a Michigan comeback alive just a little longer.

Say what you want of Kovacs but he is a football player. Period. End of discussion. He's not a 'feel good' story but the type of player who plays his best all the time. When the better talented kids play that way Michigan will be more competitive. Some way,some how or someone needs to motivate this team. Mr. Brandon that's your job. Hope you do it as well as Jordan Kovacs does his.

I agree with the distribution of game balls. And, I just don't see any hope for Michigan to overcome OSU in the next 3-5 years. Beyond that time frame, it's just too far to tell. But definitely for the next 3-5 years, Michigan will lose 80% to 100% of those games. Michigan cannot stop the Tressel express. They try, but they are run over time and time again. Michigan does not have the program or system in place to allow it to achieve greatness. They can achieve a good game against an inferior opponent once in awhile. For some, that's satisfactory. Some are happy with that outcome. For the true Michigan fan, it will never do to be mediocre which is what we've become. There is no distinction in mediocrity. George Cavendar.
