COLUMBUS, Ohio _ Acclaimed freshman Terrelle Pryor tossed four touchdown passes to lead sluggish No. 13 Ohio State to a 28-10 victory over Troy on today.

In the wake of an ugly 35-3 defeat at top-ranked Southern California, Buckeyes coach Jim Tressel had said that the nation's top quarterback recruit last spring and fifth-year senior Todd Boeckman would split the job 50-50 against the Trojans (2-1).

But Pryor started and played all but two snaps until the game was decided — and a less-than-capacity crowd loudly booed Boeckman when he threw a first-half incompletion on one of those.
