COLUMBUS, Ohio -- After a hefty piece of stone molding fell from the brick exterior of Ohio Universitys football stadium onto a sidewalk, other similar moldings have been removed as a precaution and work is underway to stabilize the wall before the teams home opener in early September.No one was hurt when the 8-inch-thick piece -- measuring about 2 + feet by 4 feet -- evidently crashed down at the southwest corner of Peden Stadium from a part of the stands that was built in 1929, the school said in a statement. A door and a cabinet of audio and video equipment were damaged.The school said the support system underneath the stone molding apparently failed, and areas around some of the stands were blocked off as a safety precaution after the fallen stone was discovered the morning of July 27. University officials think the piece fell that morning or the previous night and arent aware of anyone having been around when it happened, spokesman Dan Pittman said in an email.A structural engineer subsequently inspected the masonry on the stands and recommended taking off the remaining stone moldings and making interim repairs, according to the university. It said those changes, slated to be done before the Bobcats face Texas State on Sept. 3, are expected to cost about $202,000.The university plans to start construction in March on a long-term repair that is yet to be designed but would be scheduled for completion by this time next year. A contractor hasnt been chosen for that design and repair work, so the cost for that hasnt been determined, Pittman said.OU wasnt aware of any previous concerns raised about the integrity of the stadium masonry and no similar masonry failures have happened there previously, Pittman said.The repair work hasnt affected athletic practices or other activities, he said.

Cheap Puma Shoes Sale .Y. -- Sabres forward Drew Stafford has witnessed plenty of turmoil during his eight seasons in Buffalo. BEREA, Ohio -- Racing downfield after cruising past the cornerback, Terrelle Pryor dove forward and grasped the ball with his fingertips as he fell to the turf.Fans watching at training camp cheered the 50-yard reception, as Pryor got up from the ground and spiked the ball to the turf, before jogging back downfield and bumping chests with Browns quarterback Robert Griffin III.The excitement emanating from Pryor was evident, as it has been for entirety of his second training camp with the Browns.After a year spent struggling with the transition from passer to pass-catcher, hes finally starting to feel like a real wide receiver.To actually be out there battling with corners and being able to beat corners man to man and getting off press pretty easy now. ... Im very excited, Pryor said. This game is the love of my life.Pryor initially made the move from quarterback to receiver in training camp with Cleveland a year ago, but had a nagging hamstring strain that kept him out of all but one exhibition game.The Browns added Pryor to the 53-man roster out of camp, but cut him before the teams first regular-season game, only to bring him back for the final five games of the season.After the roller-coaster season, Pryor spent time this summer working on his skills as a wide receiver with former Vikings star Randy Moss and current Browns quarterback Josh McCown in Charlotte, N.C.Terrelle came down there and worked his tail off, McCown said. Hes turning over every rock to make sure he can find a way to get himself better and its a hats-off and a credit to him because he wants it.From what Pryor has shown thus far in camp, Browns coach Hue Jackson thinks the training has paid off.He made the transition from quarterback to receiver, Jackson said. Hes handled it very well. Im very proud of what hes doing.As head coach of the Raiders in 2011, Jackson drafted Pryor -- then a quarterback -- and the two maintained a good relationship as they met again with the Bengals.Now together for the third time in Cleveland, Pryor and Jackson are providing help to each other.In Pryor, Jackson has a player that understands his offense and can teach it to Clevelands group of receivers that includes first-round pick Corey Coleman and the recently reinstated Josh Gordon.ddddddddddddSometimes, hell just tell me, `Terrelle, shut up. Dont answer this, Pryor said of Jackson. Its because I know this stuff pretty good. Im excited just to get the guys sped up, or if the guys have any questions, Im here to help in any way.In Jackson, Pryor has a coach who believes in his talent and views him as a potentially big piece of the Browns offense this season.There are a lot of different things that well do with Terrelle because I think hes very talented, Jackson said. Well just continue to find different ways to have him make a difference on our offensive football team.One of the ways in which Jackson will use Pryor involves the receiver undergoing yet another transition, though this move isnt a switch in positions.Rather, Pryor is switching from one side of the field to the other, moving from the X receiver to the Z receiver, where hell be lined up often next to the tight end.The receiver isnt at all concerned about switching sides, so long as he can still be on the field.I just want to go and help however I can, be a playmaker, Pryor said. Put me on the field, Im going to make a play and thats got to be my mindset. Thats what I want to do. Thats my ultimate goal.Game notes Pro Bowl TE Gary Barnidge (sports hernia) was held out of practice as he recovers from surgery. .
