    Here is what tressel has stated in regards to the field goal situation. Glad to see pettrey get the chance.

    Inside the 20 you will see Ryan Pretorius take field goals. Outside the 20, it will be up to Aaron Pettrey.

    Maybe Aaron will actually look a little bit happier when he walks into class next week. He always looks so down.

    Is this merely because Pettrey has a stronger leg? More accurate? Or possibly both.

    I think alittle of both arapahoe. Pretorious has also battled an injured toe. Just glad to see tressel making some needed changes.

    I think Pettrey has been taking every FG longer than 40 or so since the start of the season because he has a stronger leg.

    Actually he hasn't. I believe he has only 2 field goal attempts this year. Pretorius has 13 field goals out of 17 I believe.

    Pettrey kicked the one last week and the 54 yarder in the YSU game.

    Jeeze, so the 49 yarder with 4:54 left in the second quarter. Is that specific enough for you.

    I hope Pretorius fixes whatever is going on and plays great for the rest of the season. I've seen him on campus in the business school and I worked at the Fawcett center two years ago where the football players eat, and he is a great guy!

    That job sucked except for seeing the football players all the time (Boone, Gonzo, Troy Smith, awesome). The coaches came in too. Matta and Tressel ate together once, there both great people and great coaches!

    Greg Oden when the basketball guys came in too. Probably two ft taller then me :)

    I've understood Pretorius is more accurate, but they use Pettrey for the Long balls.
