QB/WR Braxton Miller (B1G POY, National Champion, OSU HOF)

Oops, I thought this was the Braxton Miller thread. Must have misclicked on "Miscellaneous" on accident. My bad.

I'd have to think that the best situation is to start Joe, with Braxton getting plenty of reps, which it seems to be the direction things are going. Moving Braxton into the starting role too early could have a huge downside, hurting both QB's in the long run. Better to ease him in if that is in fact the direction they're going.

Sorry, but it's the middle of the What!-still-two-weeks-till-kickoff! season, But yeah, give the senior a well earned -- I guess -- shot at it. It's just that we've seen so little of anyone but TP for 2.5 years.

Miller expected to come to Columbus and learn behind Terrelle Pryor, but a turbulent offseason has changed that plan. Thursday, Buckeyes coach Luke Fickell said Miller remained in competition with senior Joe Bauserman for the starting job. If Fickell's trip down memory lane is any indication, Miller can expect to see quality playing time in the season opener against Akron. "You can look back to '96 when I was here. Our senior year, we had a two-quarterback system, and it worked," Fickell said of Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine when he addressed reporters after Thursday's practice. "Whatever fits the team. You've got to give guys opportunity to see what they'll do in front of 106,000, and how they accept that responsibility."
