Pryor-ity No. 1

Ohio State coach Jim Tressel said his star running back Chris "Beanie" Wells, who was out when the Buckeyes were pounded by USC last week, practiced Tuesday and could be cleared to play against Troy this Saturday.

Wells is nursing a tender right foot suffered during the season opener against Youngstown St.

In other news from the Buckeye backfield, Tressel said true freshman sensation Terrelle Pryor, who had some success against USC, has played himself into a competition with incumbent starter Todd Boeckman.

Boeckman, a pure pocket passer, struggled against the Trojans because he was a sitting duck in the pocket. Pryor gives the offense a dual-threat quarterback who was the top recruit in the nation last year.

Andrew Wible Mug

Andrew Wible is a junior majoring in journalism and a football reporter for the Daily Collegian. He has also covered the men's and women's basketball teams. A confused soul, he listens to rap, plays golf and hunts. And like any true Pennsylvanian, he treats the Monday after Thanksgiving as a national holiday.
