Terrelle Pryor threw for four touchdowns, ran for another and caught a pass for a touchdown as No. 2 Ohio State cruised to a 73-20 victory over Eastern Michigan Saturday.
Dane Sanzenbacher tied a school record with four touchdown catches and Daniel Herron added a touchdown run for the Buckeyes, who have scored at least 36 points in each of their four games.
Pryor imposed his will on the overmatched Eagles right from the start, using his speed to run for a 52-yard score on the opening drive. He unleashed his arm on the next drive, hitting Sanzenbacher down the middle for a 31-yard touchdown. Ohio State added a field goal and Herron’s rushing touchdown before the end of the first quarter to make it 24-0.
Pryor added two more passing touchdowns to Sanzenbacher in the second as the Buckeyes took a commanding 38-14 lead into the break.
The junior quarterback was back at it in the third, finding Sanzenbacher again on the opening drive.
Jordan Hall -- Pryor’s high school teammate -- passed back to Pryor for a 20-yard score toward the end of the third. Hall added a receiving score in the fourth as well.
Pryor finished 20-of-26 for 224 yards passing and added 104 yards on seven carries to go along with his one reception.
The winless Eagles mustered just 248 total yards.
