13-13 from inside 50. Not too shabby.
![]() Obviously speed and timing become more critical at the next level, so comparing Ben's stats with college kickers' stats is an unfair metric. That being said.....exactly 8 kickers in division I have made all of their kicks from inside 50 yards, and only one of them has attempted more kicks that Ben. |

Why I love Tressel...
As a student at the Naval Academy, but also a huge Buckeye fan, I was reminded Saturday of the genius that is JT. I don't know how many of you watched the ND vs. Navy game, but I'll tell you what amazed me as I watched. So ND has the ball, 4th and 8 on Navy's 25... game tied, 0:45 left in regulation. As I watched live, I prepared myself for our 44th consecutive loss when I noticed Weis sending out the offense(?). We sack Sharpley to force OT. Finally, after 3OT's Navy pulls off the upset. I guess somewhere in all those #1 recruiting classes Weis has brought in he forgot to sign a kicker that could reliably make a field goal. Tress may not be able to haul in a top 10 recruiting class ('cept this one) every year, (according to Rivals, Scout, ect.) but he has the foresight to value balance and special teams.
So, many may question the Buchanan offer, but I love it. Being able to bank on at least 3 points every time inside the opponents 35 takes pressure off the offense to make something happen, and from what I've read, this kid is special. Now, back to Ben... Good luck at tOSU and I can't wait to see you win us a few close ones! ![]() |

Yeah, honestly, it seems like he could be one of the best kicker's in a long time.

Heck...if you guys missed the story.....a kid from Maryland is now on the team that was a professional soccer player (and no, its not Pretorious...he played rugby)
His name is Devin Barclay....there was an article on him in a Baltimore news paper. The best part about Ben coming in...is the fact he can do both, punt and kick, which means the competetion is only going to be that much tougher.... |

Congrats Ben, I may not completely agree that the punt is the most important play in football, but it is up there. Great job and keep up the hard work in the classroom and on the gridiron.
