Buckeyes get grip on starting positions
Tuesday, August 29, 2006 From staff and wire reports
Senior Tim Shafer is the starting left guard and freshman Aaron Pettrey will handle the kicking duties according to the Ohio State depth chart for Saturday's opener with Northern Illinois, which was released on the school's Web site Monday night.
Those two positions were the only real competitions still alive in the final week of preseason camp, Shafer beating out Steve Rehring and Jon Skinner, while Pettrey outperformed sophomore Ryan Pretorius in Wednesday's special teams scrimmage.
On the defense, Vern Gholston and Jay Richardson are the starting ends, with David Patterson and Quinn Pitcock the tackles. James Laurinaitis is the starter at middle linebacker. Marcus Freeman is the strongside linebacker, while John Kerr is the starter on the weakside.
Malcolm Jenkins and Antonio Smith are the cornerbacks. Nick Patterson is the free safety, with Brandon Mitchell at strong safety.
Ohio State coach Jim Tressel will hold his first weekly luncheon of the season today at 11:30 a.m.

Looks like you should've taken that bet, Mister Football (JW)....

closed practices
I don't know about the rest of you people, but the lack of info coming out of the practices is killing me. It's as bad as the wait for the first game.

Antonio Smith scares me at corner... i don't doubt his ability or his heart, but he's only 5'9" and i have some nightmare flashbacks regarding a certain Thorpe Award winning 5'9" CB getting torched on jump ball after jump ball by a 6'5" receiver... this is a huge mismatch in the Horns favor...
