Tressel: QB job up for grabs
Todd Boeckman or Terrelle Pryor?
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel didn’t announce any change on the depth chart at quarterback during the Big Ten weekly teleconference Tuesday, but he did say both players will compete this week to determine how the playing time will be divvied up for the Troy game Saturday.
“The nice thing is we have three good practices this week, and we’ll have a nice, healthy competition,” Tressel said. “I think Terrelle has shown he has an unusual moxie about him. He didn’t seem to be out of place in that (Southern Cal) football game. He didn’t seem to be in his first game. He seemed to have good presence about him.
“Obviously, the first thing Todd will tell you is that he can’t throw the ball to the other team (with interceptions) — especially if the other team is as good as the one we just played.
“How much playing time happens from here on out will be based in large part on how practice goes and then in large part on how we’re doing on Saturday.”
Tressel also said Chris “Beanie” Wells hasn’t tried to cut on his injured foot since late last week. The star running back will test it rigorously today and be evaluated after that.
