Thursday's kick scrimmage at Ohio Stadium came down to one final play, and redshirt freshman kicker
Aaron Pettrey delivered in a big way. Pettrey booted a 59-yard field goal to lift his team to a 28-27 win in the kick scrimmage.
The battle for the starting kicker job at
Ohio State is a spirited one. Pettrey ended up unofficially 6 of 8 on field goals, while sophomore
Ryan Pretorius was unofficially 7 of 8 for his team.
OSU head coach Jim Tressel allowed dynamic
Ted Ginn Jr. to make just one punt return during the course of the scrimmage. In typical Ginn fashion, he made it count with an 80-yard touchdown.
There were no punts blocked in the scrimmage, which consists entirely of special teams plays.
With the Woody Hayes Athletic Center under renovation, the losing side did not have to walk back to the WHAC. But Tressel said they instead had to do some push-ups after the scrimmage.
Stay tuned later in the evening for more on the kick scrimmage.
