ESPN's Brock Huard ranks Ohio State junior Braxton Miller as the No. 5 draft-eligible QB for the 2014 draft.
Miller checks in behind Teddy Bridgewater, Tajh Boyd, Aaron Murray, and Marcus Mariota. However, Huard does place Miller ahead of big names like A.J. McCarron, Johnny Manziel, Stephen Morris, Logan Thomas, and Derek Carr. "Accuracy can't always be taught, but neither can winning and toughness," Huard writes. "If his passing efficiency improves, Miller's stock will soar and NFL teams will clamor for a leader they couldn't find in the 2013 draft." May 8 - 12:43 PM

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

During a radio interview, Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said he plans on stealing some of the things the San Francisco 49ers run on offense.

Meyer said the 49ers are doing stuff he had never seen before. Quarterback Braxton Miller is already expected to take the next step in 2013, but more pistol could be a good thing for the young quarterback. We already know he is a terrific athlete, but solid decision making is critical as well.

Miller was taken out of the game against Purdue after landing on his head on the tail end of a run and immediately taken to the hospital. If he practices pain-free, expect Miller to start against Penn State on Saturday.

Ohio State sophomore QB Braxton Miller is "doing fine" after his visit to the hospital during Saturday's game against Purdue.

Miller's shoulders, neck and head were all examined and everything apparently came back okay. It looked much worse on the field, as Miller stayed down for quite a while and appeared wobbly when helped off. Don't expect word on his availability for next week for another few days.

Ohio State sophomore starting QB Braxton Miller was sidelined during the third quarter of Saturday's game against Purdue after being slammed to the ground following a run.

Miller was down on the field for quite some time and it appears a cart will take him to the locker room from the sideline. ESPN is now reporting that Miller is headed to a local hospital via an ambulance. The sophomore seemed to have slammed his head on the ground during the tackle, but trainers were also checking his leg.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Ohio State sophomore QB Braxton Miller injured his left knee on a play that resulted in a fumble, but is expected to return to the game.

Miller underwent ACL tests on the sideline, and everything came back negative according to sideline reporter Heather Cox. The sophomore's knee apparently hyper-extended while his foot stuck in the ground. Still, the Buckeyes would be wise to decrease his rushing attempts, but his effectiveness is undeniable.

During his press conference on Tuesday, Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer said he expects Cal to play an extra defender in the box to force the Buckeyes to throw during Saturday's game.

Sophomore quarterback Braxton Miller has rushed for 302 yards on 6.9 yards per carry, but many came after scrambling on called passes. In fact, Miller has only attempted four more throws than runs. The sophomore has shown progress this season, specifically with his decision making after only throwing one interception thus far.

Ohio State freshman quarterback Braxton Miller receiving help with his introduction to the Michigan rivalry.

The Buckeyes have won the last seven games against their chief rival. Alas, the 2011 version of Ohio State football is much unlike any in recent memory. That is why Miller is receiving some prepping from experienced teammates about what to expect when they travel to the Big House for Saturday’s game.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Freshman QB Braxton Miller will continue to start for the Buckeyes, according to head coach Luke Fickell.

The vote of confidence comes after Miller was benched in favor of backup Joe Bauserman during Saturday's loss to Michigan State. Miller may continue to struggle this week however, as it was announced that the team would be without receivers DeVier Posey and Verlon Reed for their upcoming game against Nebraska.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller is one many young faces on a Buckeye team that opens the Big Ten schedule at home Saturday against Michigan State.

While Colorado cannot win on the road, the Buffs are not exactly a cupcake. That is why it was good for coach Luke Fickell to get Miller’s feet wet when he did because here comes Michigan State and the Big Ten slate. Miller was only 5-13-83 against the visiting Buffaloes, but he threw 2 TD passes – both to another freshman, Devin Smith. Something that does not show up in the box score, but certainly did in the final score: he directed the offense with plenty of poise in the 37-17 verdict. Miller and Smith are two of many new and young starters on both sides of the ball. It’s time to grow up in a hurry, a process that is off to a good start. Alas, the schedule offers no breaks with trips to Nebraska and Illinois and home date with Wisconsin following the Spartans' visit to Columbus.

Braxton Miller - QB - Buckeyes

Ohio State freshman quarterback Braxton Miller will make his first start on Saturday against visiting Colorado.

Given the situation in Columbus these days, it is best to live or die with the freshman who can become the new face of Ohio State football. Coach Luke Fickell did the sensible thing in going with senior Joe Bauserman to start the season. After all, he needed an experienced player to turn to. With all that has taken place, it would have been too much to ask the prized recruit to step in from the get-go. Miller will have forgettable games such as he did last week against Miami – and it’s best to have those experiences now.
