Ginn's blocking wins points with Bucks
By JON SPENCER
For The Marion Star
COLUMBUS - Ted Ginn Jr. appears ready to assume the mantle of go-to receiver for the Ohio State Buckeyes, but who knew he was a throw-two guy as well?
The slender, speedy wide receiver threw not one, but two blocks on Antonio Pittman's 48-yard touchdown run in Saturday's 37-7 win over Cincinnati. The first came at the line of scrimmage, but Ginn was so unhappy with that effort that he raced downfield to wipe out a Bearcat at the 10, enabling Pittman to score untouched.
"I missed the first block and when (Pittman) got outside I wanted him to score," Ginn said. "Being a team player, you've got to bust your butt for the guy next to you or behind you."
Until Saturday, Ginn and blocks were synonomous only in a track and field setting. But the OSU junior hasn't gotten down in a sprinter's crouch since earning state and national acclaim as a hurdler for Cleveland Glenville.
Even if his assist on Pittman's touchdown run doesn't wow the Heisman electorate, Ginn scored more points with his teammates on that play than he has on any of his Big Ten-record five punt return touchdowns.
"I didn't realize Ted was there until I watched the replay," Pittman said. "It was a great block. That comes from getting help from Santonio (Holmes). Santonio was a great blocking receiver and to be a dominant receiver you have to do a lot of great things.
"Santonio did a lot of good things and he rubbed off on Ted."
As was the case with many of the Buckeyes, Ginn's inner alarm clock didn't go off Saturday until the noon game was nearly half over. But he still caught a pair of touchdown passes and exhibited another form of toughness by making both grabs on crossing routes over the middle.
The Bearcats took away OSU's vertical game, so Ginn and Co. went horizontal instead.
"As you run across and see the three linebackers, you've got to make sure they don't put their hands on you," Ginn said.
The CSI gang could dust for fingerprints, but find very few on Ginn's jersey so far this season. Heading into Saturday's Big Ten opener at home against Penn State, he's already caught five touchdowns and is three behind team leader Anthony Gonzalez in receptions with 14 (good for an 18-yard average).
Holmes, a first-round draft pick of the Pittsburgh Steelers this year, caught 11 TD passes for the Buckeyes last season, the fourth-best single-season total in OSU history. But he didn't catch his fifth scoring pass until the eighth game.
Ginn has just one less TD grab than he had his first two seasons combined. He's had at least one reception in 22 straight games and two or more catches in 20 consecutive games.
In other words, Pittman will have plenty of chances to return the favor.
"I think Ted's the most exciting player in college football," OSU quarterback and Heisman frontrunner Troy Smith said about his former Glenville teammate. "I told him that on the sideline. Only he can stop himself. You give him six inches, that might be too much.
"He has that scary speed, that home run punch, you have to respect."

Tatum award a big hit
Tressel honors Ginn Jr. for block that led to TD
By Marla Ridenour
Beacon Journal sportswriter
COLUMBUS - This might be the only time Ted Ginn Jr. and Jack Tatum are mentioned in the same breath.
Ginn, Ohio State's 6-foot, 175-pound junior flanker, is known for his speed and electrifying plays. Tatum, a two-time OSU All-American and legendary safety with the Oakland Raiders, was nicknamed ``The Assassin'' for his bone-jarring tackles.
When Ohio State coach Jim Tressel handed out his team awards for Saturday's 37-7 victory over Cincinnati, it was Ginn who received the Jack Tatum hit of the week. Ginn's block on defensive back Mike Mickens near the 5-yard line cleared tailback Antonio Pittman's way into the end zone on a game-clinching 48-yard touchdown run.
``Don't tell Jack, because it didn't live up to Jack's hits,'' Tressel said.
``We have a few nominations. This week was kind of limited. It went to Ted Ginn by default,'' senior cornerback Antonio Smith said, obviously embarrassed by the lack of defensive candidates.
Tressel said Ginn coveted the honor.
``He's probably more proud of that than any play since he has been at Ohio State,'' Tressel said.
Asked whether that was the case, Ginn said: ``Yeah, for a little guy like me to get Jack Tatum hit of the week... it always goes to defensive guys or O-linemen or running backs.''
Ginn also appreciated his teammates' votes.
``The offense got behind me, took my back and rolled with it,'' Ginn said.
Junior receiver Santonio Holmes won the Tatum award once in his career before leaving for the NFL last spring. Senior right guard T.J. Downing loved seeing an offensive player win it again.
``To have one of the smaller guys get it, it's comical if you think about it,'' Downing said.
Tatum, who lost a leg to diabetes, lives in California but makes occasional appearances in Columbus. Ginn isn't sure what Tatum would say if he saw the play.
``I don't know. He'd probably have to analyze it,'' Ginn said.
The most significant thing about Ginn's block might be how it illustrates the improvement he has made in the past year. Going into Saturday's game against Penn State at Ohio Stadium, he leads the team with five touchdown catches and is second in receptions with 14 for 253 yards. He's averaging 8.4 yards per punt return and 14.3 on kickoffs but has yet to score on special teams.
``It's no longer just a total emphasis on the kick return and punt return game. He's learned the game as a wide receiver,'' senior quarterback Troy Smith said of Ginn before the season. ``There are things he understood before, but now everything is magnified 10 times.''
Penn State coach Joe Paterno has only one idea on how to stop Ginn on Saturday.
``I am going to have somebody put something in his food the morning of the game,'' Paterno joked.

COLUMBUS -- When Ted Ginn lined up as a receiver in the opener against Northern Illinois, no one was quite sure what would happen next.
After such high expectations last year, Ginn was disappointing as a receiver. He caught just four touchdown passes and only had two games of at least 100 yards receiving. The first didn't come until the ninth game of the year.
As a result, teams didn't seem to fear Ginn the receiver as much as they did Ginn the punt returner -- Northern Illinois and Texas both tried to man up in single coverage with Ginn -- which proved to be disastrous mistakes.
Entering Saturday's Big Ten opener against Penn State, Ginn already has five touchdown catches -- one more than he had all of last year. His five touchdown receptions tie him with Cal's DeSean Jackson for second in the country, one behind Kentucky's Dicky Lyons.
Ginn is averaging a touchdown once every 2.8 catches. That, too, is second in the nation behind Lyons, who has scored six touchdowns on nine catches.
Clearly, Ginn learned quite a bit through last year's struggles and an offseason of work.
''I've got a different role. It's more of a get open, get the ball type role,'' Ginn said. ''Last year I played behind somebody (Santonio Holmes) and I really wasn't the go-to guy. This year I'm coming out trying to be the go-to guy. It's a different year.''
Much, much different.
Ginn had 51 catches for 803 yards and just the four touchdowns last year as a receiver. He's on pace for about the same number of catches (56), but his yardage totals (1,012) and touchdowns (20) would be significantly higher if he can maintain this pace through the regular season. Of course, it's ridiculously early in the season to be talking about 20 touchdown catches. But on this offense, it certainly seems feasible.
''I think he's the most exciting football player in college football,'' quarterback Troy Smith said. ''I told him that on the sideline (against Cincinnati). Only he can stop himself. Give him six inches and it might be too much.''
Ginn will have the benefit of an extra game, since the Buckeyes play 12 regular season games this year, plus the bowl game. At this point, it at least appears he could make a run at Terry Glenn's school record of 17 touchdown receptions in a season, set in 1995.
''Teddy continues to grow in understanding how (opponents) are trying to play him,'' coach Jim Tressel said. ''Cincinnati tried to double him a number of times and he was aware of that.''
The Bearcats were the first team to come out and double Ginn after he scorched single coverage attempts from both Northern Illinois and Texas. While Cincinnati limited him to 33 yards, two of his five catches went for touchdowns on crossing patterns underneath the coverage in the red zone.
That continues to be one of Ginn's biggest improvements from a year ago. While he simply outran coverages by being faster than cornerbacks and safeties last year, Ginn is learning this year how to work through a double team and make catches in traffic.
''It all starts with routes,'' Ginn said. ''If people don't believe in my routes, then my speed is nothing.''
The complaints in his route running that surfaced last year are finally being dismissed. That's not to say the criticism wasn't warranted -- even Ginn admits he had work to do in that area. But it's easy to see the difference now.
''There is no way in the world that he could run bad routes, because every time you turn around he's wide open. That doesn't make any sense to me,'' Smith said. ''For people to say he can't run routes, just watch film and see who's open and who's not.''
Usually this year, it's Ginn.
A large part of the credit for that must go to Anthony Gonzalez, who has even more catches (17) and yards (280) than Ginn.
Gonzalez keeps drives going, as proven by the fact 16 of his 17 catches have gone for first downs. Ginn delivers the big play threat, and on occasion, the big hit.
Every week, the players vote on a number of team awards. One of them is the Jack Tatum Hit of the Week, named after the former OSU great and given usually to the defensive player who had the fiercest hit. But this week, Ginn won it for leveling a Cincinnati player near the end of Antonio Pittman's 48-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
''Don't tell Jack, because it didn't live up to Jack's hits,'' Tressel joked. ''Teddy's probably more proud of that than any play since he's been at Ohio State.''
It's just another sign of the development in Ginn's all-around game. And at his current rate, it won't be his last award.

[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Increased role has Ginn on a roll[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]BY JIM NAVEAU - Sep. 21, 2006[/FONT]
[FONT=Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]COLUMBUS ? He is no longer the freshman phenom or the target of skeptics that he was for much of the season as a sophomore.
As a junior, Ted Ginn Jr. is on a pace to score 20 touchdowns this season after getting to the end zone five times in the No. 1 Buckeyes first three games. He has 14 catches, second on the team to Anthony Gonzalez?s 18.
A year ago, he caught only four touchdown passes all season.
Ginn says he is simply playing a different role this season with the departure of Santonio Holmes for the NFL after last year.
?Coming into the season I had a different role, more of a get-open, get-the-ball type role. Last year I played behind somebody, I wasn?t really the go-to guy,? he said. ?This year I?ve come out trying to be the go-to guy. Me and Gonzo are playing well. It?s just a different year.?
The 6-foot, 180-pound Ginn has no bigger fan than quarterback Troy Smith.
?I think he?s the most exciting player in college football. Only he can stop himself. To a certain extent, defensive coordinators will game plan to stop him. He has that home run punch, that scary speed,? Smith said.
The OSU quarterback even batted down one of the questions about Ginn last season before it was even raised. Some doubted his ability to run pass routes when he caught only one touchdown pass in the first five games in 2005.
?There is no way he can not run routes and still be open every time he turns around,? Smith said.
Ginn?s emergence as a go-to receiver began late last season when he caught eight passes for 89 yards against Michigan and eight for 167 yards against Notre Dame in the Fiesta Bowl, giving him almost one-third of his 51 catches in two games.
Ginn returned two kicks for touchdowns last season and had two more called back by penalties. In his career, he has five punt returns for TDs.
So far this season, has returned eight punts and three kickoffs without breaking one all the way.
If he is overdue to score on a kick return, he isn?t long overdue. In his career, he has averaged a touchdown every 10 kick returns and he has fielded 11 kicks so far this year.
?It?s going to take a little time. Guys are kicking away from me. It?s hard to go from getting every punt to getting one or two a game,? Ginn said.
Penn State coach Joe Paterno acknowledged the threat Ginn is at his weekly press conference. But also dug deep to praise the rest of Ohio State?s offense, heading into Saturday?s game between Penn State and Ohio State at Ohio Stadium.
?Ted Ginn is a great athlete, but there is a kid by the name of Gonzalez on that team. There is a kid we tried like the dickens to get whose father is a great coach, (Brian) Robiskie. They have a great quarterback.
?The tight end is a big league player. The tailback is a big league player. What do you do? You go in there and pray. You got a good prayer to St. Jude for hopeless causes or something?,? he said.

Timeout with Buckeyes receiver Ted Ginn Jr.
By Staff reports
Saturday, September 23, 2006
Who's your best friend on the team?
"I would say the (other six Cleveland) Glenville (High School) guys. We're brothers. We all come from the same area and stick together."
Does your father (Glenville coach Ted Ginn Sr.) tell you he's proud of you?
"As a son, yeah. But as a ballplayer, he still criticizes the things I do. He's always going to be a coach. He's always going to let you know you've got to do this or that. As a father, he's always there to keep me up, keep my spirits up and give me what advice I need ? just being a dad."
What do you like to do away from football?
"I like to go home. I have two dogs (Yorkies) named T.K. and J.T., and I hang out with my girlfriend and kick back and relax."
Do you get home to see your parents much?
"We try to keep it where they're not constantly on the road and I'm not constantly on the road. We alternate. They'll come down during the season and stay with me, and I'll try to go up there in the offseason every other weekend."
