Veni. Vidi. Vici.
Maybe it's just me, but I think it's more likely that Urban ran that fly to Spencer because he thought it would cement the game than it is that Urban did so to "do something" for Evan.

If you look back at the game you'll realize that Ohio State couldn't have run out the clock at that point without getting a first down. Alabama had two timeouts left. The clock could have been run down to 40 seconds or so before punting. Yes, I know that would be preferable to how much time was actually left.

and he's the last guy you'd expect (or choose) to throw a fade route to... Urban got cute.
You don't honor a senior with a program defining title berth on the line.

My bad. I must have pulled a Roger Clemens and misremembered why Urban called the go route for Evan on first down at the end of the Sugar Bowl. I thought he said he did it to reward Evan but I couldn't find the quote.

He can say anything he wants to the media to make a feel good story, but nobody who chokes people over games of checkers gets all sentimental in the biggest game of his tenure as Ohio State's coach.

FIGHT TO THE END: OHIO STATE QUARTERBACK, H-BACK AND WIDE RECEIVER BRAXTON MILLER
Ohio State's 2015 senior class has a chance to win its 50th game over a four-year period New Year's Day in the Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame. Before kickoff in their final collegiate game, Eleven Warriors will take a brief look back at each player's time in Columbus.
WHERE HE'S FROM
Braxton Miller, known by some as "one of college football's last superheroes," burst onto the scene as a 14-year-old freshman at Wayne High School in Huber Heights, Ohio.
A touch more than 30 minutes west of Columbus, Miller blossomed under head coach Jay Minton and became the heir apparent to Terrelle Pryor at Ohio State quarterback. During his senior season with the Warriors, Miller threw for 17 touchdowns and ran for 17 more as he led Wayne to the Division I state championship game. He enrolled early at Ohio State, hoping to get a jump at learning from Pryor.
We all know what happened next. Scandal ensued in Columbus. Within two years, both Pryor and Tressel were gone. The keys to the program were turned over to Luke Fickell prior to the 2011 season, and eventually Miller, who was rushed into duty as a much better alternative than Joe Bauserman.
Urban Meyer arrived ahead of the following season, dealt a hand that included a terrific talent at quarterback in Miller, solid tailback in Carlos Hyde but an inept wide receiving corps. The Buckeyes still went 12-0, with Miller doing it all and then some.
"We all know how average we were, especially on offense, our first year," Meyer said Nov. 18. "If you don't have that kid, you start your coaching career at Ohio State with a .500 or an 8-5, 8-4, whatever it is. If you don't get momentum then those other great things just don't happen. Certainly doesn't happen in that kind of time frame."

I wish it was just over 30 minutes to Columbus.

And how many times did we run him right into the middle of the LOS? That used to piss me off to no end. Did he even throw a single pass this year?

QUIET AND FEROCIOUS: TRYING TO DECIPHER BRAXTON MILLER, THE PERSON
Who is Braxton Miller? No, not that Braxton Miller. The Braxton Miller outside of the scarlet and gray clad hero with an Block O tattoo you see on Saturday afternoons.
No, seriously, who is Braxton Miller?
"He's a pretty hilarious guy if you get to know him and get comfortable with him," All-American Buckeye defensive end Joey Bosa said Wednesday. "He lays low, he's not out doing stuff all the time.
"He just hangs out with his boys and chills."
A quick refresh of Miller's Instagram profile suggest that point almost exclusively, as long as you look past the photos that depict a touch of self obsession. Miller is hardly shy about showing off his body, which he's conditioned to look like that of a Greek God, chiseled out of marble and littered with tattoos.
"You can look on there and see how I'm being silly and doing off the wall stuff," Miller said Wednesday.
