Ohio State opens with romp over Virginia Tech
Braxton Miller has found a new home at wide receiver, and No. 1 Ohio State has another playmaker.
Miller scored two touchdowns — one on a 54-yard catch, the other on an electrifying 53-yard run — and the Buckeyes began their title defense with a 42-24 victory over host Virginia Tech on Monday night.
“I really would have preferred that third quarterback be over competing for a quarterback job rather than out there as an athlete,” Virginia Tech head coach Frank Beamer said. “I thought he was pretty special.”
Miller made a diving 24-yard reception for his first catch since moving to wide receiver, and he got only better as the night progressed.
