Columbus, Ohio ? A national spring game record crowd of 95,722 came out to enjoy the high temperatures and watch Terrelle Pryor throw two long touchdown passes in 30 seconds, leading the Gray over the Scarlet, 23-3, on Saturday at sun-drenched Ohio Stadium.

The 80-degree weather played a big role in the attendance, which topped the 92,138 Alabama drew for Nick Saban’s coaching debut in 2007.

Ohio fans paid $5 per ticket, with the bulk of the money going to local charities. Many showed up in tank tops and shorts to soak up the sun on the warmest day of the year while watching Pryor strut his stuff.

Pryor broke open a close scrimmage with touchdown passes of 44 yards to Taurian Washington and 42 yards to Ray Small late in the second half. Pryor started as a freshman for last year’s 10-3 Buckeyes team.

Ex-coach Winter hospitalized

Manhattan — Former Kansas State basketball coach Tex Winter, the longtime Los Angeles Lakers consultant and mentor to coach Phil Jackson, has been hospitalized, a Lakers team spokesman said Saturday. Winter, 87, was in Manhattan for a reunion of Kansas State basketball team members when he became ill and fell in the shower. Winter was taken to a hospital, Jackson said, and had made slight progress Saturday.

Before the Lakers’ playoff game at Utah, Jackson said he had spoken to Winters’ family and that Winter was resting. Winter reportedly suffered an apparent stroke.

Winter was Kansas State’s head coach from 1953-68, posting a 261-118 record and winning eight Big Eight championships.
