Pryor expects ’electric’ crowd at Penn State
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — Welcome home, Terrelle Pryor.
No. 15 Ohio State and its talented dual-threat quarterback visit No. 11 Penn State in a high-stakes Big Ten game. For Pryor, it will be his first game at Beaver Stadium since the western Pennsylvania native spurned Penn State last year to end one of the most publicized recruiting races in recent memory.
Nittany Lions fans haven’t forgotten, and Pryor knows it.
‘‘It’s going to be a crazy atmosphere, but that’s what we come here for,’’ said Pryor, a sophomore. ‘‘We’re going (in) as a team, so if I get spit on, they spit on the whole team and stuff like that.’’
As if the annual grudge match between the Buckeyes (7-2, 4-1 Big Ten) and Nittany Lions (8-1, 4-1) needed any subplots.
Both teams could use a signature win to solidify their credentials for a BCS bowl bert.
