Braxton Miller has big shoes to fill in Columbus. He is more than capable of making the Buckeye faithful forget Terrelle Pryor
Ohio State has been surrounded with loads of controversy and negative publicity over the last couple of months, but let’s get back to the gridiron. The Buckeyes are going to have big holes to fill offensively, especially at the quarterback position where the departed Terrelle Pryor has left a giant void at the most important position on the field. The Buckeyes will also have to find a replacement number one receiver (and number two with Dane Sanzenbacher graduated), and a replacement couple of running backs. Not to mention, the key to the offense, the engine that makes it run–former head coach Jim Tressel–is going to have to be replaced.
A giant help (literally) is going to be having two All-Americans on the offensive line, though only for the second half of the season. Right now, the Buckeyes are a hot mess, and they will enter the season with a roster full of question marks and a lot of uncertainty.
