Despite Fumble vs. Washington, Ohio State Remains Confident in Brandon Inniss on Punt Return

When multiple areas of Ohio State's special teams struggle in a game, it's easy to call for overhauls of every unit that's had issues. But there's reason to pause at punt returner.

Yes, wide receiver Brandon Inniss fumbled returning a punt against Washington. Yes, he gave up what Ryan Day tallied as 47 lost yards by not fielding punts in Week 1 against Texas. But that fumble did come after a big return, his second in as many games. He hasn't had issues fielding punts since those first-game struggles, catching a few on the run against Grambling State.
