Gotta go with Ted Ginn on Punt and Maurice Hall and Ted Ginn on Kick.

 

[ScarletBlood31]

Ted Ginn should be a lock as a returner at both punt and kickoff.

 

[OhioState49]

Teddy Ginn Jr.

WHO CAN RUN BACK 5 TDs IN A YEAR?

Sorry Ted Ginn never ran back 5 TDs in a year.

He returned 4 punts for tds in 2004. Was only on kickoff return team a few times in 2004.

i had a real hard time not putting gamble on that list but ginn and ginn + holmes is pretty much a lock for me after watching them play together. that combo has really set the bar high.

 

[OSUBasketballJunkie]

I have to go with Ginn for punt returner and Ginn and Hall for the Kickoffs.

 

[BuckeyeKid789]

That was very easy for me. Ginn at punt return and kickoff return with Santonio. They have a big return every game.

Umm Maurice Hall is the best kick returner in OSU history. That alone deserves that he gets one of the spots.

Holy shit, what happened to your rep? Didn't you have 15 buckeye leaves yesterday? About Hall, my memory is fuzzy so maybe he was better. Santonio aint too shabby either though.

Santonio was nothing compared to Hall.

Hall has the OSU record for most kickoff return yards in a career.

I feel Ginn will break that record. Dispite only returning 2 kickoffs in 2004.

Nothing compared to Hall is way too harsh. You have seen a game this year, haven't you?

 

[crazybuckfan40]

I went with Teddy as the PR and that is obvious and then went with Holmes and Hall for KR. Hall holds the career record for most KO return yards and Holmes has been extremely solid.

Santonio was nothing compared to Hall.

Hall has the OSU record for most kickoff return yards in a career.

Nothing? Hall had the luxury of doing it for four years. I like Santonio's chances of eclipsing that had he been given as many opportunities.

Maurice's numbers were not that outstanding when you break them down.
