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


We Went There: Ohio State Takes Down Virginia Tech, Terrifies Nation
.../snip/...

Lapses in memory as startling as forgetting Elliott’s score are made possible by the most dazzling star turn of the night, courtesy of the Buckeyes’ other other quarterback, the one playing in his first collegiate game as a receiver. Braxton Miller’s first catch of 2015 was a diving reception for 24 yards and a first-down conversion. The first substantial turning point for the Buckeyes came on a Miller catch from Jones, after which he (1) almost fell down, (2) almost stepped out of bounds, and (3) almost got tackled, managed not to do any of these things, and ran in to put OSU up 21-17 to stymie a VT rally. And neither of these plays is even the top spot on his highlight reel from the night.

The stadium went so quiet after that play that individual voices could be heard, including one man singing “Seven Nation Army” very loudly to himself, and another man begging that the first man be thrown out.

Miller didn’t even throw a pass the entire night. He can do that, too, remember? He caught, and he ran, and he slipped in and out of the physical plane around poor Corey Marshall, but he didn’t throw, and hecan, and everybody remembers that, so there’s something else to keep the rest of the Big Ten up at night. Headed into this game, receiver was a position of concern for Ohio State, and the Buckeyes have filled it with a guy who’s also a threat to hop in at quarterback and throw a touchdown pass just anytime. Sleep tight!

I am just so happy he got to show off a bit. The position change had to be rough.

I freaking love this kid. I don't know that I have ever been more proud of a player at Ohio State. Damn he is impressive and more mature than I ever was at his age. He has a future.

He's more impressive and mature than I am now, so... he's got that going for him.

Remember when people wanted him to transfer? Good times.

Remember those morons that wanted to waste him at quarterback?
