COLUMBUS, Ohio -- When Indiana coaches started looking for weaknesses in Ohio States game, someone noticed the Buckeyes punter Cameron Johnston wasnt listed among the NCAA leaders at his position. So he must not be very good, right?Turned out that Johnston hadnt punted enough this year to even be listed in the NCAA stats. Johnston has punted just 11 times in four games, but his average -- 50.6 -- is among the best in the nation.So much for that.I dont know if youre a great punter if youd want to go to Ohio State, to tell you the truth, because they dont use him, Indiana coach Kevin Wilson quipped this week.In other words, the weaknesses are really hard to find.Fresh from an overtime upset of Michigan State last week, Indiana (3-1, 1-0 Big Ten) visits Columbus on Saturday to play No. 2 Ohio State (4-0, 1-0) whose weapons are so numerous, Wilson said, that preparation is difficult.They play a lot of guys and they play hard, Wilson said. Theres a lot of talent and a great competitive spirit on that team.Other things to watch for when Indiana visits Ohio State:CONFIDENCE BOOST: Indiana receiver Mitchell Paige said the teams confidence level was high even before the Hoosiers knocked off Michigan State in OT. If the Hoosiers can beat Michigan State, why not the Buckeyes?Were starting to see we can do some things when we listen to coaching, understand more game plan -- there was a lot of really good film study last week -- knowing exactly what we were trying to do, said Paige, who is tied for the team lead with 18 receptions for 217 yards and got his first TD of the season last week.We can build on that this week and get even a little bit better. Well only be more confident and give ourselves a real chance on Saturday, Paige said.Wideouts Nick Westbrook (18 receptions, 370 yards, four TDs) and Ricky Jones (16 receptions, 350 yards, one TD) also will be competing for quarterback Richard Lagows attention Saturday.IT STARTS WITH JT: Ohio State coach Urban Meyer has often said that Tim Tebow, his Heisman trophy-winning quarterback at Florida, is the gold standard for team leaders.Meyer said this week that quarterback J.T. Barrett is very close to Tebow status in terms of leadership qualities.Yeah, J.T., in his own way, is exactly on the same level as Tim, and those are two elite leaders, Meyer said. There are some other guys, but, yeah, J.T. is certainly at that level.Barrett said hes honored that Meyer would talk about him and Tebow in the same conversation.I think theres something with great players, you can tell that everything is so personal, Barrett said. And I think when you watched (Tebow) play he was passionate and everything was personal to him. Everything mattered, every little thing, too, it all mattered and was personal to him, and thats why he was so fun to watch.Same with Barrett?Im getting there, he said.LANDERS RISING: Among the many pleasant surprises for Ohio State this season is an undersized redshirt freshman defensive tackle named Robert Landers.Generously listed as 6-foot-1 and 285 pounds, Landers -- from perennial state powerhouse Huber Heights Wayne -- leads the team with five tackles for a loss and is tied for seventh in the Big Ten with 1.25 tackles for a loss per game.Typically giving up several inches and 20 pounds or more to offensive linemen, Landers is quick and able to use his low center of gravity as leverage against larger men.Im a little short for my size, but it plays to my advantage, he said, noting that defensive line coach Larry Johnson likes to refer to him as gravity challenged.Said Meyer: You cant have a whole defensive line like that, but he creates havoc in there.---Follow Mitch Stacy at http://twitter.com/mitchstacyFor some of his other recent stories: http://bigstory.ap.org/content/mitch-stacy Cheap Air Max 90 Free Shipping .

OAKVILLE, Ont. -- John Merrick shot one of the best rounds in Canadian Open history. But it still wasnt enough. Merrick shot a 10-under 62 to take the early clubhouse lead in the second round of the RBC Canadian Open on Friday, but Hunter Mahan caught him with an 8-under 64 performance for an overall score of 13-under par. "I saw kind of going into 9, I saw he was at 11, and it was weird because I think he was at 7 or 8 or something, and then he was at 11. Sixty-two is a pretty good round," said Mahan. "But I didnt really think I had to catch him. Theres so much golf to be played here. "I think I just wanted to go out there and not try to shoot for a score but just try to play golf." Merricks morning round tied a course record at the par-72, 7,253-yard Glen Abbey Golf Club in Oakville, Ont., to take the early clubhouse lead at 11 under. Greg Norman set the mark at the 1986 Canadian Open. "I actually kind of had a bad warm up this morning. It was strange," said Merrick. "I wasnt hitting it that great and I didnt feel that good. Maybe that makes you focus a little bit more, try to figure out whats going on. And I was able to kind of work a couple things out and got off to a good start and eagled the second hole, which kind of calmed me down. "Whenever you try to force things in golf you never get what you want to do." Bubba Watson sat third at the $5.6-million purse PGA Tour stop after a 5-under 67 in the threesome ahead of Mahan. "As long as I can keep my patience and I can just have fun out there, and hopefully this weather just doesnt bother me too bad, and then well have fun this weekend," said Watson. Mahan was pleased with Fridays performance and saw it as a stepping stone after he tied for ninth at 3-over par in last weeks British Open. "Yeah, I kind of built off last week," said Mahan of Fridays round. "I got some good things Im doing with my swing and everything, and feel good about that. Im just going out there and really trying to trust my game. Just allow things to happen and not get in the way of myself and be as present as I can and keep my head up and keep moving forward. And just kind of letting my abilities and everything that Im doing in my game, let it try to come out." Mike Weir of Brights Grove, Ont., was the top Canadian after shooting a 5-under 67 in the second round, putting him at 4 under for the tournament. "Yeah, it was a great day. It was one of those rounds that could have been really anything. I could have been 10 under pretty easily, I thiink," said Weir.dddddddddddd "But played great, and it was exciting to do that for the fans." He jumped over several of his fellow countrymen, including first-round top Canadian Brad Fritsch, from Ottawa, who shot 1-over par on the second day of the tournament to fall to 2 under overall. Roger Sloan of Merritt, B.C., caught up to Fritsch on the leaderboard after shooting 1-under 71 for the second day in a row. "Its a great opportunity to get experience out here on the PGA Tour," said Sloan. "Obviously this is where I want to be, this is where I want my career to be. So Im just committed to being focused out there on the golf course." David Hearn of Brantford, Ont., was the other Canadian to make the cut after a 1-over 73 afternoon. Fritsch was impressed with Merricks score. "I dont think they played all the holes today -- 62," said Fritsch. "He probably played 16 holes." Merrick couldnt believe the round hed had himself -- he had to double-check his final score with his caddy. "It didnt feel like 62 at all," said Merrick. "(I) made that putt on the last hole and told my caddie, I was like, was that 10 under? He was like, I think so. "I was just trying to keep making birdies and not quite think about what I was doing." Merrick was pleased to be playing so well at a national open. "Its a very prestigious event," said Merrick. "Yeah, its a great honour to be here and playing the tournament, and its definitely one that you look at to play well at, definitely." First-round leader Brendan Steele struggled in the afternoon, shooting a 3-over 75 to drop into a group tied for 26th. Two-time Canadian Open champion Jim Furyk was in a group tied for 16th at 5-under par, while Scott Piercy, last years title holder, was tied for 56th at 2 under. A cut line of 1-under par eliminated several Canadians, including Graham Delaet (73) of Weyburn, Sask., amateur Corey Conners (74) of Listowel, Ont., Eugene Wong (71) of North Vancouver, B.C., Calgarys Stephen Ames (73), Peter Laws (74) of Milton, Ont., amateur Adam Svensson (72) of Surrey, B.C., Bryn Parry (75) of North Vancouver, B.C., and Brian Hadley (75) of Sarnia, Ont. Also cut were amateur Eric Banks (84) of Truro, N.S., Mackenzie Hughes (75) of Dundas, Ont., Riley Wheeldon (75) of Comox, B.C., amateur Kevin Carrigan (73) from Victoria, Torontos Albin Choi (73) and Adam Hadwin (71) of Abbotsford, B.C.
