Just watched his Senior highlights. My only concern is his ability to throw from a clean pocket. His completion percentage appears to be very low. Like 0%. He never gets one lol. Poor kid ran for his life on every play. The OL wasn't exactly executing at a high level. He is going to be like a kid at Xmas every day with a clean pocket throwing to Wilson, Williams, Smith, Fleming, and Olave.

Hopefully that is true. Justin Zwick's career was put behind the eight-ball because of the sieve he had to work behind as a senior at Massillon. His technique never recovered from that experience.

Freshman Quarterback Jack Miller Fueled by Doubters

The good news about being a freshman quarterback on the Ohio State football team in 2020 is that there is already an established starter in Justin Fields, so the learning process can be allowed to breathe a little bit.

The better news, however, is that neither of the Buckeyes’ two freshmen quarterbacks have to take the relaxed route if they don’t want to.

Both quarterbacks — Jack Miller and CJ Stroud — have enrolled early and are in the middle of winter workouts right now, which doesn’t exactly scream that they were looking for a relaxing environment.

For Miller, the decision to enroll early was a no-brainer because it provides such an advantage in preparing for the season and getting accustomed to life on campus.

“It’s huge, really just to get developed and really just learn the playbook and start understanding everything that’s going on around me for sure. And really just develop as a player and a person,” he said.

Right now, players begin the day with workouts, then they go to class, then they’re back at the football facility for meetings or film work or whatever else their daily regimen calls for. Then, when all of that’s done, they’ll head home.

But that still isn’t the end of the work. At least not for Miller.

“Yeah, I spend every single night — I’ll get in bed at like 8:00 and probably study [the playbook] for a couple hours,” he said. “I mean, it’s a pretty huge playbook and there’s a lot of different things that go with it. So, it’s definitely gonna take some time to get down but with some time it’ll be fine.”

Given the work involved, it might seem odd to think that Miller has been looking forward to this from the first time he ever spoke with Buckeye head coach Ryan Day. Except back then, Day was the quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator.

That’s when he knew Ohio State was the place for him.

“Right after my first conversation with Coach Day,” Miller said. “I think he really just kind of made a really good first impression on me and my family and made me feel super comfortable. I just knew after talking to him, this was the place from me.”
