The B1G must be loaded at DB.

P: Cam Johnston, Ohio State: He leads the conference in punting average (46.3 yards), and his ability to stop the ball within the 20 is nearly unparalleled.

"Nearly unparalleled" is correct because Mortell has done it at a higher rate this year. Just 1 touchback and 18 punts inside the 20 compared to 5 touchbacks and 14 inside the 20 punts for Johnston.

They only needed 4 and would be tough to argue that any of ours are playing better than the ones they picked

While I agree with you that the comment is ridiculous, mortell is out kicking his coverage too often this year so I wouldn't give him All Big Ten (without having watched any other punters closely)
