Spring games don’t usually feature much fanfare for college football teams. They are the rehearsal you conduct in the mirror prior to a job interview, playing only against yourself. How’d I look, me?

There are moments, however, like kickers getting to show off without the distraction of a game situation or onrushing linemen attempting to block your kick. Do not watch this footage in the presence of Jim Tressel, as he will pass out from sheer pleasure.
