Agreed...this is why Miller will transfer, IMO, if he wants to play QB.BR1986FB;1672922 wrote:Meyer's got an interesting "dilemma" next year. What do you do with Braxton Miller? To me, Barrett looks much better running this offense. Definitely a better pure passer. You don't bench Barrett in favor of Miller, imo.
he is on track to graduate in May, so he can transfer and play next season without sitting out.
If he will be backup QB and play another position, he'll stay at Ohio State.

I too think Braxton will transfer. I've changed my stance on it. I don't think he's been traveling to road games, so he's watching ok tv and hears what the media says about it.

Miller headed to OR - bank on it. Called it back in Aug if you'll recall.

Ohio St. lost to (ranked) Vtech and dropped from 5 to 21
Auburn loses to unranked A&M and is still a top ten team
No sec bias here.

That's NEXT year. Plenty of time to beat that to death in the offseason. Right now I had about minny. Why even bring it up? Playoffs should be the focus.

Being reported that Wilson has broken foot and had/is having surgery. I would assume out for the season. Not a huge loss, but still a weapon that oppenents had to account for when on the field.

And OSU was 7/8 in the polls that week.

I doubt other opponents were prepping for dontre wilson. Other than "hey, when this guy gets the ball just be average and you'll tackle him."centralbucksfan;1672962 wrote:Being reported that Wilson has broken foot and had/is having surgery.

Just means more Jalin Marshall on offense, which he looks like a star in the making so that's fine.

It's not a dilemma when one player goes 8/21 for 101 yards and the other 16/26 for 300 in the toughest game of the year.BR1986FB;1672922 wrote:Meyer's got an interesting "dilemma" next year.
A QB's ability to convert third downs throwing the football is one of the position's most important traits. We have one player on our roster who is accurate enough to do it, and another who isn't. IMO it's not a dilemma for any intelligent football coach.
The decision is made even easier knowing how good of a runner Braxton is, because you can slot him at RB, his future position in the NFL.

If he return, I assume will see plenty of 2 QB sets, running a version of the old single wing, where either back could run, and at same time, either one could pass.
Obviously not an every down thing, but would be interesting wrinkle that would keep teams on toes.
Actually would love to see it this year with JT and Jones.

All of this. As weird as it is to say, Braxton needs to take a page from Denard Robinson and become a RB. The fact he can also throw can give an OC all kinds of options for plays, but right now there is no debate in my mind who should be the starter next year. I don't think Braxton's accuracy or decision making is good enough to make him an NFL QB so it would make sense for him to spend the year transitioning to a new position, whether it be WR or RB.lhslep134;1673056 wrote:It's not a dilemma when one player goes 8/21 for 101 yards and the other 16/26 for 300 in the toughest game of the year.

I think Braxton should honestly transfer to Oregon next season in his own best interest. I don't know exactly how this is going to pan out by lets not forget, Braxton Miller is a really good QB and still could make the NFL. The comparison with DR is ridiculous, Braxton can throw the ball much better

That's really not saying much. Neither one can throw well enough to be an NFL QB(IMO on Braxton of course).Classyposter58;1673158 wrote:The comparison with DR is ridiculous, Braxton can throw the ball much better

Who is the Minneapolis civic genius that decided an outdoor stadium is better than the dome they had? Gonna be brutal there this weekend. What a bunch of Swede morons.

Take this with a grain of salt, but an Ohio State website says the Michigan game is set for 8 p.m.: http://t.co/HDPwN7DCyl
