Quarterback
/ Defensive Front Seven |
Quarterback
Braxton Miller will continue
pushing the Ohio State
offense with his dazzling
footwork and rushing totals.
He alone is good enough
to give any team a Top
10 ranking. Despite never
being able to prove himself
as a passer yet, Miller
will be a legit Heisman
candidate. The Buckeyes
have a great formula in
place for winning Big
Ten games, the defensive
line and the linebackers
heading into next season
will be full of experience
and talent, which is a
far cry from where this
team was a year ago when
having to replace so many
starters here. |

Offensive
Line / Secondary |
Every
year it seems this team
has a huge hole at one
unit where turnover is
massive. The offensive
line will carry that torch
this off-season. The entire
unit was full of All-Conference
players that are no longer
a part of the team. Just
like the defense was a
year ago, this front line
will go through a complete
rebuilding phase with
little to no experience
available. The secondary
isn't short on talent,
but for some reason they
just have not been able
to put things together.
With cornerback Bradley
Roby skipping out early
to the NFL much work will
need to be done with this
group. |
