Agreed, and I think Pryor was really the whole difference in the game. We had good coverage, and good pressure pretty often, but he beat us with his feet, his vision, and his accuracy downfield (often using all 3 skills at once). If they had to start their 2nd string QB and we had our first string QB, I think it's a fairly close game. 

OSU's the better team all around, but the game was pretty much a wash in the trenches and on special teams. We just had nothing to compare to Pryor on 3rd and long situations. 

Discouraging to have closed the gap in many ways and still get stomped, but encouraging in some ways as well. I wish we had a shot at them with Arrington, CJ, and Sutton healthy. Then again, I understand they've had injuries on the O-line which I'm sure helped even things out. 

Oh well, not a game anyone here really expected to win. If the Cats could close out with 2 wins, it goes down as a very, very good year.
