The back shoulder pass that was batted down in the endzone was a very very very nice pass, just an insane play by the defenderse-alum;910506 wrote:Braxton is an even better runner than I thought he was. He'll be fine throwing the ball, it seemed he was overthrowing and that was causing some of the wobbly passes. He threw some very nice passes as well.

I thought that pass could've been a little more toward the sideline.LJ;910676 wrote:The back shoulder pass that was batted down in the endzone was a very very very nice pass, just an insane play by the defender

The kid proved he can beat the teams he should beat...a very good outing. More tests to come.

I thought that too. The announcers loved it, but it was definitely too far inside in my opinion.se-alum;910688 wrote:I thought that pass could've been a little more toward the sideline.

But at least it wasn't 20 yards off the field of play, I thought for his first start he did fine, a long way to go but he'll get there as he plays more. Looks to be a great runner.

See the three following comments. I agree with them completely.Rotinaj;909880 wrote:I didnt watch the whole game but from what i saw the dude could barely throw a spiral. He did look pretty good running the ball though.

Honestly, I don't know what the hell these guys were looking at, but he held on to the ball until he hit the ground.
Miller threw nice spirals during the Ohio playoffs last year, and was pinpoint on his passing. I expect as the whole thing slows down for him in college, we'll see the same thing.

I agree that Braxton is the answer, but your assessment is shaded by the scarlet and gray blinders you're wearing.dwccrew;911401 wrote:See the three following comments. I agree with them completely.

I'm saying if he throws a better spiral its easier to catch. Thus less drops and the play on the sideline was iffy. The rules make it sound like its not a catch until you make a move which is silly considering the wr was going ob.

Miller runs well, but he runs too much..Miller throws pretty well, but not tight spirals...blah, blah, blah. The kid's a true freshman, carrying the "savior" tag as an 18 year old before 100,000+ fans and hundreds of thousands of Buckeye fans throughout the country, and IMO did a damn good job on Saturday. He's got a lot of room for improvement, sure, but his upside is unbelievable...I sure am glad he's wearing Scarlet and Gray....GO BUCKS!!!!

Totally agree Vball. He's got tremendous upside potential. If we can somehow split the next 4 games with BM at the helm I think it will be a victory.

I don't expect wins at Nebraska and against Wisconsin, but I would be thrilled if we can get one of them. 2-2 is probably a best case scenario. Although I'm not convinced we can beat MSU and we always struggle at Illinois. 0-4 is still a definite possibility.Tiernan;911641 wrote:If we can somehow split the next 4 games with BM at the helm I think it will be a victory.

It wouldn't let me embed them so just watch. First is Troy. Second is Braxton. Looks eerily similar.
