Trapasso, senior Jon Thoma will finally have a chance to prove himself in his final season as a Buckeye. He outdueled redshirt freshman kicker Ben Buchanan and will be Ohio State's No. 1 punter when the season begins this weekend against Navy. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/894297.html 2047 Matthew Hager http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/894297.html Fri, 04 Sep 2009 12:00:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate The 2009 Ohio State football season will get underway in less than 48 hours when the Buckeyes host Navy for a noon kickoff. Head coach Jim Tressel gave the latest on his team heading into the showdown including updates on Cameron Heyward, Jordan Hall and others. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/894903.html 2047 Adam Jardy http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/894903.html Thu, 03 Sep 2009 16:25:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate For a guy who says he's not sad to have completed his final kick scrimmage, Aaron Pettrey sure seems to shine in the event. Just like he did in April, Pettrey nailed the game-winning kick to give his team a win in the event in Ohio Stadium, completing a solid 9-of-12 day for the senior. Overall, there were pluses and minuses for the OSU special teams. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/890089.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/890089.html Wed, 19 Aug 2009 23:59:00 GMT 0 145 Ohio State ohiostate Jon Thoma’s first closeup, minor as it may have been, went well enough for him to come away smiling. The fifth-year senior, a walk-on from Alliance, Ohio, has waited his turn to be the No. 1 punter in Scarlet at Ohio Stadium, and that first chance came last Friday during the team’s annual spring kick scrimmage. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/856222.html 2047 Marcus Hartman http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/856222.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 23:38:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate With the graduations of Ohio State's leading field goal kicker and holder in Ryan Pretorius and A.J. Trapasso, respectively, one could assume there may be a struggle for the specialists to mesh. However, that's not the case for Aaron Pettery and Jon Thoma. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/855675.html 2047 Matthew Hager http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/855675.html Sat, 11 Apr 2009 20:13:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Even though Wednesday's kick scrimmage wasn't the most crisp of the Jim Tressel era when it came to the kickers, those players themselves weren't all that worried afterward. Find out why, then read about the placekicking battle, Ben Buchanan's progress and the fakes in the Buckeye playbook. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/781905.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/781905.html Fri, 22 Aug 2008 04:21:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate The kicker, the holder and the snapper are the three most important cogs on the place-kicking unit. While one gets most of the publicity, all three work equally to ensure a successful effort. Take a look at how this team within the team functions. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/688952.html 2047 Adam Jardy http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/688952.html Thu, 11 Oct 2007 12:07:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate
