Football: Line coach makes charges NFL-ready

Jim Bollman is an underappreciated member of the Ohio State football coaching staff, at least by the public. That's partly because one of his titles is offensive coordinator, so he takes a lot of heat when things aren't going well. But that title is misleading, because coach Jim Tressel calls the plays.
Bollman's other title is offensive line coach. And given his history of cranking out NFL linemen, he's one of the best in the business.
If tackle Kirk Barton gets drafted this weekend as expected, he will be the ninth Ohio State lineman picked in the seven years Bollman has been on the job.
Over the past six years, only two other schools have matched OSU's eight drafted linemen: the University of Miami and Notre Dame.
"Coach Bolls gets you ready," Barton said.
