Mitch Mustain might not be able to find his way into the lineup at quarterback, but he could possibly do it as a punter.
Impressed by kicks Mustain made for fun during last Friday's walk-through at Ohio Stadium, Carroll had Mustain punt before, during and after practice on Wednesday.
Mustain also took second-team snaps at quarterback.
"He's got a leg on him," said receiver Damian Williams, who estimated that Mustain punted about five times during their senior season at Springdale High in Arkansas. "Sometimes you've just got to find a way onto the field and if that's what he wants to do then hats off to him.
"I was back there catching some [of his kicks] and he made me run for a couple."
RealGM Note: Mustain was a true freshman starter at Arkansas during the 2006 season, but subsequently transferred to USC where he hasn't been able to elbow into starting quarterback duties.
