It was a real tweener. Pret has a pretty good foot too. Perhaps trying to give him some gametime experience?

maybe... i seem to remember that he was a bit better at the really long ones... i think he hit a 59 yarder in practice...

Nice MARCUS.

I thought they made a mistake when that trivia question said final poll. :tongue2:

They prefaced it with tOSU's preseason ranking in 2002 to mislead us.
