The Ohio State punter goes into his third year as the starter with a third head coach in that time, but his newest mentor, Urban Meyer, is yet another coach that preaches the importance of special teams. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/1195068.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/1195068.html Sun, 17 Jun 2012 13:39:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Now heading into his second season as the starting punter for Ohio State, Ben Buchanan first excelled as a kicker as well as a punter in high school.

Would those positives outweigh the negatives in BSB's Midterm Gradebook? Check out what the BSB staff thinks in this final midterm. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/1012281.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/1012281.html Fri, 15 Oct 2010 18:14:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Last season, Devin Barclay seized the opportunity when senior kicker Aaron Pettrey went down with an injury against New Mexico State. Unable to put his hat in the ring was Ben Buchanan, then a redshirt freshman who had suffered a minor injury during practice the week prior. Now Buchanan is looking to make an impact this season without dwelling on last year's disappointment. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/961786.html 2047 Adam Jardy http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/961786.html Tue, 13 Apr 2010 11:58:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Special teams has been emphasized this spring for the Ohio State football team, but the team's kickers left some things to be desired in Saturday's spring kick scrimmage. The kickers combined to hit around .500 on the day, but one emerged the hero when Ben Buchanan made a sudden-death boot. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/961161.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/961161.html Sat, 10 Apr 2010 18:35:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate In a shorter-than-normal final press conference of the week, Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel announced that junior walk-on Devin Barclay figures to earn the starting spot at kicker this weekend.

With the loss of the strong-legged Pettrey, junior walk-on Devin Barclay or redshirt freshman Ben Buchanan will be called upon to kick during OSU's stretch run. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/915999.html 2047 Matthew Hager http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/915999.html Wed, 04 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Jim Tressel met with local media members Tuesday morning to preview a week of preparations for his team's Big Ten opener with Illinois.

The answer and notes on Austin Spitler, the offensive line, Ben Buchanan and much more are in this week's edition of Jard Work. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/897916.html 2047 Adam Jardy http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/897916.html Fri, 11 Sep 2009 16:18:00 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 It's clear that the central Ohio product Ben Buchanan has plenty of talent. Through the early days of spring ball, the redshirt freshman has taken kickoffs and field goals and also punted in an effort to showcase his skills, which are good enough that the Buckeyes are having a hard time choosing a role for him. That may change soon. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/856103.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/856103.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 16:55:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate After the Ohio State football team suffered through inconsistent special teams play the past two seasons, head coach Jim Tressel had to be pleased with what he saw from multiple units in Friday's spring kick scrimmage. His field-goal kickers did well, highlighted by senior starter Aaron Pettrey's game-winning 34-yarder in Ohio Stadium on Friday. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/855484.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/855484.html Fri, 10 Apr 2009 23:27:00 GMT 1 145 Ohio State ohiostate Spring practice has started, but as of this writing there are still 14 sessions in April for the 2009 Ohio State Buckeyes to begin to take shape. With that in mind, we continue a preview of the action by looking at some more burning questions, these focusing on the defensive position groups and the special teams. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/853314.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/853314.html Fri, 03 Apr 2009 17:17:00 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.

Come late morning in his high school library, Buchanan was officially a Buckeye -- and officially another talented specialist in the running for a role in 2008 and beyond. http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/727472.html 2047 Jeff Svoboda http://ohiostate.scout.com/2/727472.html Thu, 07 Feb 2008 21:00:00 GMT 0 145 Ohio State ohiostate Ben Buchanan is the layer who got the ball rolling on a tremendous 2008 recruiting class at Ohio State and now he has made it all official by signing a letter of intent with the Buckeyes.
