Buckeye fans, any news on how Braxton Miller is coming along at wide receiver? Is he expected to get significant playing time or see a starting role? I keep seeing him as this big, physical WR, but then I remember he's only 6'2.

Any news?

I'd imagine he will start against VT given the Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson suspensions. Regardless, I think he's going to see significant snaps. He's too much of a playmaker to sit on the sideline.

He's playing H-back, the player that comes across for the jet sweep. That is where he'll get the bulk of his touches, but he is also running route down the field.

Since he's in the slot, he hopefully won't get pressed too often but that will be a major concern as will his route running. I think he will get a fair shot, but I think in the end he will mostly end up running jet sweeps and not have much success down the field.

He's playing the Percy Harvin role for Urb. He won't really be a true receiver.

6'2 is good height for a WR.

Wow, smallest WR in the country if true.

Dez Bryant and Anquan Boldin would like a word with you.

And at 5'9, Steve Smith just plays extremely too soft.
