At least one Ohio State Buckeye isn't completely sold on freshman quarterback Terrelle Pryor being the lone signal caller.

Tight end Jake Ballard said Todd Boeckman, Ohio State's opening day starter, can still contribute and should share the job with Pryor.

"The senior leadership that Todd brings to the table and just how he commands the huddle would definitely help us out," Ballard told the International Herald Tribune. "And he could make some big throws for us. ... I don't think a two-quarterback system would be a bad idea."

Boeckman hasn't played in either of the Buckeyes' past two games, both wins, including a come-from-behind victory at Wisconsin two weeks ago in which Pryor led the game-winning drive late in the fourth quarter and ran for the 11-yard go-ahead touchdown with just more than a minute to play in the game.

Ballard praised Pryor's athletic ability, but said the true freshman often times tries to make too many big plays, and needs to settle for positive yardage.

"He can make big plays with his feet but he has to realize it's not high school, he can't make big plays every single time for 20 yards or more," Ballard said. "He's not always going to get big plays."
