Ohio State expected to be double-digit faves all season

Ben Axelrod is Bleacher Report’s Big Ten lead writer. At the state capitol city of Tallahassee, the drone concerns more Seminoles in trouble – this time for hitting a woman at a bar.

With Urban Meyer unable to decide between the two, he simply had them flip a coin in the meeting room. “Laser-like focus. I went out to our conditioning test the other day and watched it and I am not sure I have seen many human beings do what I saw him do”, Meyer said.

The things coaches will do for top recruits. They met with the team in June to get the focus back on the football field.

When he committed, Kief said of Alabama, “I love everything about it. I love the coaches, the offense, everything”. “But our president is over there when we’re doing well”. I don’t think we ever have.

“At 6’2” and 215 pounds, the former Buckeyes quarterback stretched with his old position group before the start of Ohio State’s first practice of preseason camp Monday but soon found himself running routes once individual drills began.

Saban has had success attracting some of the state of Ohio’s best talent.

And with H-backs Jalin Marshall and Dontre Wilson as well as wide receiver Corey Smith suspended for the Buckeyes’ battle with the Hokies, the reality is that Ohio State may need Miller to do more than just look the part sooner than originally thought.

At the same time, Meyer has been a terror on the recruiting trail, building a championship foundation while rebounding from NCAA sanctions that included the loss of five scholarships incurred from Jim Tressel’s tenure.

This of course brings up an interesting question pertaining to the Buckeyes, with one wondering how they may have fared this past season had Ross stuck around for his senior season.

“These three guys here are flawless examples”, Meyer added.

Faulks said it was Williams’ idea to document Miller’s final season with a documentary, which is tentatively titled “The Return of the Real”. “The coaches have had speakers come and educate us”.

One man who did see it, though, was co-defensive coordinator Luke Fickell.

Next year’s Jalen Ramsey should be spared such a duty.
