Ben Buchanon, does he ever sense a punt rush?

  • Yes, it looks like Cam Williams missed another blocking assignment on the punt block for a TD, but does Buchanon ever look up and see a rush coming? Does he ever short step a punt?
    Buchanon has had more punts blocked for TD's than any OSU punter I can ever remember, and a lot of it is him, he takes forever, never looks up to see a rush and avoid it, and he is slow in his steps.
    I have seen punters see and feel a rush, and look up, step around it and side wind it out, this clown as a senior still can never seem to sense pressure, or even get kicks out with less steps when needed.
    Right near midfield he punts it into the end zone, when we needed a kick inside the 20.
    Bring on the punter from Florida in 2013.

    He's awful... I thought he was recruited here as a PK anyway? He's been bad from day 1. He never booms it and hardly ever pins a team deep. Hope the new kid from Florida is better next year. Ben is flat terrible and always has been. Hard to believe tOSU can't keep a good punter/kicker on the roster. Our past few kickers/punters have been awesome. This kid is not an OSU caliber punter if you ask me.

    Buchanon never senses a rush, never.
    You never see him peak up, see it coming, step around it and side wind it.
    He always has his head down and it slow and takes 3 steps, just pathetic. He has never improved any year.
    When you need a punt inside the 10, he booms it in the end zone.
    Even on that fake punt vs. Nebraska, the play was blocked well and if he stays outside he has a big game. He runs right into a DL to get tackled for no first down.

  • I won't miss him. He's just not all that good. It's been too long since Trapasso, Sander, and Groom were flipping the field.

  • He acts like he has all freaking day.

  • I don't know if you can call a punter one of the bigger recruiting disappointments. But if you can, he is on the short list. People were talking about him being both the kicker and punter when he was recruited. He got a catchy nickname , "The Cannon", before he ever earned it. He has easily been the worst punter OSU has had since the new millennium. Jon Thoma, a walk-on, was way better. I can't imagine whoever steps in next year not being an upgrade.

  • Plus he doesn't wear socks. I cannot abide any player who doesn't wear socks.
