I'd prefer he relinquish PR duties for now. I'll be sick to my stomach if we blow a cfp game because of a muffed punt a la Philly Brown in the Orange bowl.

On a positive note, he's already a big time WR; he bit as a pup. Can't wait to see him and Olave take the top off defenses next year with Fields.

 

[ShowMeBuck]

Coach, acknowledging his struggles, said he is sticking with him because it is “an investment” which is just another example of his aggressive approach.

The kid is electric with the ball in his hands. When he breaks one for a TD, the investment will pay off. At least that’s Coach’s attitude.

This team doesn’t need a great return man . Just catch every punt and don’t let one roll 20 yds. We’re dominating everywhere else. Don’t need special just no mistakes.

I'm fine with him returning next year after another offseason of practice and some easy early season games to prove he's over the muffs. Just don't think the reward outweighs the risk currently with postseason games coming up. Jmo

With our defense... exactly.

Put KJ Hill back there to fair catch everything. Besides we have such a good offense that whats an extra 10-20 yards anyways?

I really hope they just put the sure handed person back there. It's now lead to what 10-14 points in 3 weeks?

 

[Onebuckfan]

I’d tell my punt return team we are not returning don’t hold don’t jump offside. If we call a punt block fine ..we won’t do it unless it’s totally available.

The last 3 games will be indoors. I think this makes it easier to stick with G Dub.

 

[DaBuckeyes]

I think people are underestimating how hard it is to return punts and it's hard to find a returner who will catch them every single time. In fact, no one on our roster has done it so far. Even Hill has muffed 1 or 2 from what I remember and provides zero upside. McCall has had his share of muffs as well. So the only alternative option to fielding one of those three is to put someone out there who has never done it in a college football game.

Also, as stated above the risk should be decreased as the last 3 games may be indoors.

20 yards anywhere on the field is A LOT. Also, the difference between being on the 10 or the 1 is even bigger. Never in the history of football has a team just decided never to field a punt and there's a reason for that.

My point is only for this rematch. Come the CFP we need everything the ST can give us.

And add to that the freezing conditions of the last two games. Anyone here who does not remember what it felt like when your fingers Became numb and would not move due to the cold, is lying about growing up in the state of Ohio.

Yes. If Olave, of all people, misjudging and dropping a well-placed bomb is an indicator, it was tough out there. Given that anyone can muff one, I'm good with letting the kid with the most potential to house one (of the guys tried: Gill or Jameson Williams might be more electric) keep at. I'm pretty sure he'll be angry about the muff and focused too.

Garrett Wilson is going to leave Ohio State as one of the best receivers to have ever played here. He is going to have a fantastic pro career.

 

[LordJeffBuck]

After 12 games, Wilson is 4th on the team in receptions (24), receiving yards (368), and receiving TDs (5); and 3rd in yards per catch (15.3). Not bad for a true freshman.
