Award Recipients for Week 5

 QB Terrelle Pryor |
For the second-straight week, Pryor has been named BuckeyeBanter.com’s “Best Damn Player of the Game” after rushing for 97 yards on eight carries with two touchdowns, and throwing for another 70 yards on 8-of-13 passing and another score.
Pryor made his second-consecutive start at quarterback for the Buckeyes. He scored Ohio State’s first touchdown of the game on a 32-yard run at the 12:47 mark of the first quarter – Ohio State’s quickest score to open a game this season. Pryor later added a 38-yard run in the second quarter, his longest of the season. His 38-yard run was the team’s second-longest rush of the year.
Pryor had two rushing touchdowns, becoming the first Buckeye quarterback to run for two TDs since Troy Smith vs. Iowa back on Sept. 24, 2005. In addition to his 32-yard run in the first quarter, he ran for a 1-yard score in the third quarter.
With his 97 yards on the ground, Pryor set a Buckeye record for rushing yards for a true freshman QB. Art Schlichter set the previous mark vs. SMU in 1978 with 77.
