Can Braxton Miller do what no Ohio State freshman quarterback has ever done?
Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is sacked. Can another first-year Ohio State quarterback beat Michigan, like Terrelle Pryor did in 2008?
Art Schlichter couldn't get it done in 1978, but Miller could do what no other Ohio State freshman quarterback has done --- beat Michigan at Michigan.
“Playing there, it’s big; big-time rivalry, big-time game,” OSU senior running back Daniel Herron said. “I think he’s ready for it. If he’s not ready for it, we will have him ready for it.
“This is The Game. It’s like a one-game season. So he has no choice but to be ready for it.”
Columbus Dispatch reporter Tim May writes how coach Luke Fickell is confident that, despite the team’s rather abysmal offensive performances at times in this 6-5 season, his freshman will be up to the task, despite the setting.
“I think that Braxton will continue to do what he’s done,” Fickell said. “He’s a competitor. And sometimes the best thing you can be as a young guy is not realize exactly the magnitude of some different things. And I think that was kind of obvious this past week with (freshman) Ryan Shazier going in as a linebacker.
“Sometimes the young guys, they’re almost oblivious to the different things that are out there and around them. So hopefully that’s the way he continues to attack it.”
