Rivals Preseason Power Rankings

In OSU's scheme (and most other people's too, so I guess it's not a tradition ) the tight-end is called the 'y' receiver because it is denoted with that letter when plays are white-boarded. Ben Hartsock referred to his position as "Yackle". Yeah, OSU tight-ends can catch; but it's not a secret that JT likes to use them to block more often than to run patterns and catch the ball.

I agree totally. With all due respect to Nicol, Ballard is OSU's best TE, and I think part of the reason he isn't utilized well enough is the fact that he splits playing time with Nicol.

splitting time isn't really the issue. the issue is we don't call his number very often.
