Defense still wins Championships
Looking ahead to post-season awards, I see the following Bucks getting tabbed with all-American honors....
Nuge - 1st team, no doubt. Probably will be on every list.
- 20/23 FGs, 87%
- 5/6 from 50+ including a 55 yard long (3rd longest in the country)
- 9th among kickers in total scoring, 24th overall
- 3rd in total FG (2 have 21)
AJ Hawk - 1st team.
- 136 tackles, 8 TFL
- 1 sack, 2 INT (should be 3), 1 fumble recovery, 1 fumble forced
- Leads big10 in tackles and is amongst national leaders (couldn't find national tackling stats)
and my surprise pick....
Ted Ginn Jr. - 1st team PR, should be on every list.
- 14 returns, 377 yards.
- 26.9 yards/return is 4.4 yards per return longer than 2nd place!!
- 7th in total return yards, but not in the top 40 in return attempts.
- 82 yard long (8th longest in NCAA)
- 4 TD. OSU season and career record, Big10 season record, ties NCAA season record.
- Best in the country, scoring and average per return. Only limiting factor is that he doesn't have as many attempts as others (which should make him more impressive.
Perhaps the scariest thought is that Ted has the potential to finish his college career as an all-American at THREE positions!!!![Yow1 :yow1: :yow1:](http://www.buckeyeplanet.com/bp_files/smilies/main/yow1.gif)
