Miller volunteered to move from quarterback to h-back/wide receiver in the offseason after his surgically repaired shoulder wasn’t ready to withstand the rigors of playing quarterback, at least at the start of the year. We knew he was a special playmaker with the ball in his hands, but did he have the hands to be a premier pass-catcher?
Well, the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year has answered that in resounding fashion in his first game in his new position. With Ohio State trailing 17-14 at halftime and on upset alert, the Buckeyes went to their veteran playmaker and Cardale Jones dropped in the ball nicely for Miller to snatch it out of the air and tip-toe the sideline and regain his balance and take it to the house for the go-ahead score.
