TWTW: Who's Slower Now...??? Oregon Slowed To Duck Walk In Pasadena

((HT: WCMH-TV, Columbus/NBC4i.com))

Brother Marty in the southwest bureau, we're fairly sure, was more than prepared to see his TOSU Buckeyes take on Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

The biggest question was whether or not the Buckeyes could "keep up" with Oregon and all the speed they have on offense. QB Jeremiah Masoli made sure that the zone option read was his pet project for success this year, and he worked Chip Kelly's offense to fast success...

Except in the Rose Bowl...

Buckeyes QB Terrelle Pryor was playing with a partially torn PCL. You could tell it was giving him problems on the first scramble from scrimmage he was forced to make. It got him one-third of his rushing yards on the day, so it worked temporarily.

TOSU kept the pressure on Masoli- holding the Ducks to 179 rushing and virtually no passing yards on the day. That'll get you a win...

And it did 26-17 breaking the Buckeyes three-BCS game losing streak...
Pryor also passed for a career-high 266 yards in the game- good enough for two scores...

Jerod Smalley from WCMH-TV in Columbus is the only guy that seems to track Pryor down after the Rose Bowl win...
