USC defeated Ohio State by three points.

But Ohio State quarterback Terrelle Pryor thought the outcome should have been different.

‘We should’ve won that game by two or three touchdowns,’ Pryor told the Columbus Dispatch, after USC’s 18-15 come-from-behind victory.

USC’s game plan did not include a mandate to stop Pryor, especially on designed running plays and scrambles.

‘We didn’t think we were going to be able to take him out of the game as a runner,’’ USC Coach Pete Carroll said. ‘We thought we’d be able to control him.’

Pryor netted 36 rushing yards and passed for 177 yards and a touchdown with one interception.
