Buckeyes' special teams not so special last fall

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — Ohio State coach Jim Tressel isn't easily rankled.



But he's bothered by the fact that his Buckeyes were dead last in the Big Ten a year ago in kickoff returns and he's determined that won't happen again.



Tressel said earlier this month that he's giving special attention to special teams this year. So today's kick scrimmage at Ohio Stadium took on particular importance.



A year ago, backup wide receiver Ray Small handled 22 of the Buckeyes' 34 kickoff returns and averaged 17.8 yards per attempt. He shared punt return duties with Brian Hartline.



Now running backs Brandon Saine and Dan "Boom" Herron are the deep men on kickoffs, with Small and Hartline the top guys on punt returns.
