Braxton Miller HeismanHeading into the 2014 college football season, Braxton Miller, then Ohio State’s starting quarterback, was seen as a Heisman Trophy favorite. Miller, a two-time Big Ten MVP, was expected to have a massive senior campaign. Of course, he got hurt, injuring his shoulder and missing the entire season.
Now he’s back, this time as a wide receiver/H-back in Urban Meyer’s vaunted offense.
Miller made his debut at the position Monday night and, boy, it was a good one. He totaled 140 yards and two touchdowns in Ohio State’s 42-24 victory and made some ridiculous plays.
The Heisman Trophy hype has started again.

Braxton Miller still after that Heisman

I don’t think it’s that far-fetched to say Braxton Miller could compete for the Heisman. He’s like Percy Harvin. Can beat you in # of ways.

It’s (very) early, but Miller should certainly be close to the top of the Heisman Trophy watch list.
Ohio State plays Hawaii this Saturday.
