Ohio State protects Terrelle Pryor off the field, too. The sophomore quarterback was not allowed to speak with reporters Monday during the Buckeyes’ media day for their upcoming Rose Bowl appearance. It follows a trend set by coach Jim Tressel, who likes to shield his underclassmen from the media as much as possible. Before Pryor’s biggest five games as a starter, he has been off limits to reporters. That includes this year’s showdown with Southern California, two games with rival Michigan and the Buckeyes’ two bowl games — last season before the Fiesta Bowl against Texas and leading up to this Rose Bowl. Tressel may not let Pryor speak to reporters very often because of the fallout from earlier this season when he wore a tribute to Michael Vick on his eyeblack during the season opener.
