Notorious spot goes to Pretorious Notorious spot goes to Pretorious JASON LLOYD, Morning Journal Writer 08/23/2007 COLUMBUS -- Quarterback apparently is not the only position that is up for grabs this year. Following yesterday's kick scrimmage, Jim Tressel announced Ryan Pretorious would likely take over the kicking duties this year, replacing sophomore Aaron Pettrey, who held the job all of last year. Pettrey was 8-of-11 on field goal attempts last year and 55-of-58 on extra points, but has struggled during the spring and preseason. At one point yesterday, he was just 2-of-5 on field goals.

Ryan Pretorius is new Ohio State kicker Thursday, August 23, 2007 Doug Lesmerises Plain Dealer Reporter Columbus- A year ago, Ryan Pretorius walked home from Ohio State's kick scrimmage in tears, knowing one bad day had cost him the chance to be the Buckeyes' No. 1 kicker. It took him a full year to earn another chance, during which he pondered a transfer and went through a divorce, but on Wednesday, coach Jim Tressel said Pretorius is back on top.

"And I think he's about to, and I'm grateful for that." Cont.. |

I wonder if he is the oldest football player in OSU history, at least in modern history. He's 28 now and has another year left. I don't think this is over yet. Pettrey has the stronger leg and will probably kick off. If Pettrey can be consistent again, he can retake the position, if Ryan falters. I like Pettrey because he waited and waited to get into OSU. He had other free rides and chose to be patient with OSU. I trust JT on these matters, and the depth at kicker and punter is truly amazing.
