If John Kerr was the only one not 100%, then why didn't Small get in the game? He was 100%. Them gators would have respected his speed after he ran down the sideline ONCE! O.K., O.K. I'll settle down now........

IMO Ray Small will be one of the ones that comes on the most between now and next season... Not only does he know, but so do the coaches know he's probably our biggest threat as far as scoring from anywhere... We'll need him to come on big time so we'll still have that someone that defenses have to account for...

Encouraging quotes from Barton. Other aspects of this article should be discussed in the spring practice thread.

Wide Receiver: The Buckeyes lost big-play receiver Ted Ginn and his counterpart, Anthony Gonzalez. Barton says one player has already flashed as a possible replacement for Ginn.

Ray Small. He is un-believably fast," said Barton.

"We get him the ball and he goes across field and its a touchdown. It's
unbelievable. He did it again today. He's going to be something.

"He can definitely be in like a Ted (Ginn) kind of mold. I know guys always say that when guys are getting recruited and stuff, and you never really know until they're with the one offense against the one defense. He did it today."

I think its safe to say that He is going to be asked to do a lot of the things Teddy has done for us. Lets just hope that Boeckman doesn't throw him a swing pass and gets him knocked out for the year.

Well, that is something to be said of TGII, for all the complaints he garnered with his "dancing" he didn't miss much playing time to injury (at least not injuries sustained during a play). Hopefully Ray will be good to go this year, I loved the agility he showed against BGSU last year!

Ohio state football notebook
Barton: Small is a worthy replacement for Ginn

THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH

The biggest surprise of the first half of spring drills for Ohio State offensive tackle Kirk Barton has come in a Small package. "He is unbelievably fast," Barton said of sophomore receiver Ray Small, tapped to replace record-setting Ted Ginn Jr. who is headed for the NFL draft. "We get him the ball and he'll just cross the field -- touchdown.
"I mean, he is unbelievable. He is going to be something. He can definitely be in the Ted mold."
Considering Ginn set a Big Ten record with six punt returns for touchdowns in his career, Barton knew his assessment of Small was dancing that fine line between analysis and hype. Especially because the last thing most folks remember of Small from his freshman season was him being helped off the field after being knocked woozy by a Minnesota tackler in the flat.
