Probably because in what we saw of Henton last year (Spring Game), he was less than effective (and that's being very, very kind). |

JT changed kickers last year that I thought was a good sign of living behind his talk. Henton would have caught Todd last year. Todd's experience was his benfit over Henton but now has the system experience and will get more game time. I personally believe that if Henton would have been used more last year and in the bowl game it would have made recruiting Pryor that much harder. Let the games begin. There is a reason Henton and Pryor are highly recruited and Todd grayshirted. Not meaning that as a knock on Todd. Todd does a great job with his abilities and time in the program. Just going to be hard to keep the other two on the sidelines. Henton who was supposed to Transfer leads Ohio State to the Promise Land. Expect the unexpected.

Hmmmmm, history tells me that JT is loyal almost to a fault. Bellisari - Krenzel, Zwick - Smith, and last year, between the dog house and the need to throw a bone or two to Schoenhoft, Henton got how many snaps?
It takes something major to cause him to make a lineup change. Unless Boeckman totally blows up, a very unlikely situation given that the first two games are YSU and Akron, but then comes USC and Troy. If Todd struggles in those two games you might... might... see Henton get some time.
Because he can't be at the school this spring I don't see TP doing much more than a spotlight play or two per game till the middle of the season.

That led the Big Ten in passing efficiency. Due entirely to his early- and mid-season efficiency.
He was getting Heisman talk. Before the last four games of the year.
The guy that took us to the National Championship game. He was the QB when we went to the NC game. Beanie "took us there" as much as anyone else did.

Uh, no one was effective in that scrimmage (which is what it was). I just re-watched the YSU game yesterday, and his only drive of the game was by far the most impressive and efficient of any of our possessions that game. He threw two passes, both of which hit the crossing receiver perfectly...first one was dropped by Sanzenbacher (maybe a tad too much zip on the pass) and the second was caught by Washington for the TD. Going by what I saw in an actual game vice a glorified scrimmage, I'd say that Henton could hold his own.
