Um, I really hope you're joking.
Tebow had arguably the most dynamic player in cfb since reggie bush, in percy harvin. The best te in the country with Aaron Hernandez, and also 2 more wrs that are starting on nfl rosters in Louis murphy and andre Caldwell.

Braxton has a lot of unproven taken around him, and he's pretty unproven himself. In order to have a legitimate shot at the heisman, you need to be a pretty well known name around the nation well before the season starts. Tebow already had that name recognition from day one coming out of HS. Not saying braxton couldn't get it down the road, but highly unlikely this year.

The National FOY has plenty of name recognition.

Eyes are wide open
Braxton Miller more comfortable as a leader entering his sophomore season

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller said he feels a lot more comfortable as a leader as he begins his sophomore season.
The alarm went off early.

The first workout of training camp was slated for 6 a.m., and Braxton Miller rolled out of bed at 4:30 on Friday morning, making sure he had enough time to grab some breakfast before hitting the practice field.

Just 10 minutes later, another wake-up call came for the Ohio State quarterback. But Miller didn't need offensive coordinator Tom Herman to get him up or motivated as the Buckeyes went to work.

Unlike at this time a year ago, Miller is unquestionably the face of the Ohio State offense. And he apparently doesn't need anybody to check in to make sure he's taking that responsibility seriously.

"I feel a lot different," Miller said after the veterans finished their split-squad session. "My body is changing, my attitude and leadership is all coming together.

"I had a talk with the coaches like, 'How can I be a good leader and how can I influence people on the team?' I was a freshman last year, so it was kind of odd. This year I feel a lot better after getting a year under my belt, I just feel a lot better talking to the coaches."

Honest critique.

The intro could've been half the length, cuts of more of the important stuff. The song choice could've been better. Maybe multiple songs, multiple paces, etc. I liked the non-broadcast coverage shots you had, more of those would've been refreshing.

Other than that, I can't watch anything tOSU related without getting chills and anticipating the upcoming season.

:oh:

exited to see how braxton plays when the defense doesn't know exactly what play is being run...

Braxton Miller, so good he made QB draws on 3rd and 15 that everyone in the stadium knew were coming actually work every once in awhile

#1 I predict the number of times we are in third and long situations will be down significantly this season

#2

Urban has talked a lot about the leadership development of Braxton. Just judging by his media clips it seems like he is coming along very well. I keep telling myself he is just a sophomore. I think about all the exceptional plays he made last year with a dysfunctional offense just based solely off athletic ability. How could he lead as a true freshman in that environment? I expect big things from Brax this year and not all of it coming via the scramble.

Braxton Miller is a quintessential fit at QB for an Urban Meyer offense. I'm thinking he and tOSU offense are going to absolutely take flight this season and throw the gauntlet down to serve notice to the rest of the conference and nation of whats coming as soon as the post season ban is lifted.
I won't be surprised/amazed if tOSU goes undefeated this season.
I'm hoping Nebraska wins @ the Horseshoe but realistically I fully expect the Buckeyes to take control early and never look back. I'm sure there's a little payback motivation burning deep down in tOSU's players over the way they lost in Lincoln last season after BM went down.
I'm kinda' fearful we're going to get hammered/blown out in Columbus.
