| Former Ohio State star Ted Ginn Jr. didn't have much of an impact in the passing game after being benched in favor of another ex-Buckeye, Brian Hartline, on Sunday. But, boy, did he make up for it in the kick return game. Ginn scored on a pair of returns of at least 100 yards in the third quarter en route to leading Miami past the New York Jets, 30-25, at Giants Stadium. Ginn, who didn't have a single reception, finished the day with 299 return yards.
