If you have any social media account you check with any sort of regularity, chances are you've seen it.
"I've probably watched it on Vine, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat," Ohio State redshirt senior right tackle Chase Farris said Wednesday. "On the Ohio State Snapchat, everybody's just walking around, just spinning on everybody. Walking to class, spin moves. You get on the OSU Snapchat, everybody's like 'Braxton Miller spin.'"
The Braxton Miller spin, of course, is the ridiculous move the Buckeye quarterback turned H-back put on display Monday night in his team's 42-24 win over Virginia Tech at Lane Stadium. Farris said he stopped for a second and felt his eyes get wide, before realizing he was on the field and needed to finish the play. It was that impressive.
It put Ohio State up by double digits for good against the Hokies, and all but broke the Internet.
On Wednesday, Miller called his 53-yard touchdown run probably his second-best play as a Buckeye, behind only the side-step and dive for a score he did at Penn State in 2012.
"Sometimes I do practice them. Especially on Madden," Miller said of the spins, flashing that bright white smile we've all become accustomed to seeing. "I do, I actually do. Sometimes if someone's coming at an angle I actually do practice some of the stuff I do in the games."
It sure looked like the two-time Big Ten Player of the Year spends his spare time making those who aren't fortunate enough to be blessed with his freak ability look silly, just like he did the two defenders Monday night.
"The interesting thing about our offense is he touched the ball four different ways ... you can't just do that at wide receiver," Urban Meyer said of Miller Wednesday. "That's something we've been doing for years. It's great to be able to do that with a guy like Braxton."
Miller — who said he doesn't have cable television so thus has just seen the play on the Internet or at the WHAC — possesses a skill set makes it easy for any coach to have success, which is apparent in his 24 straight wins as a starting quarterback in 2012-13 in Meyer's first two years.
But the one on Monday night was special. Everyone was watching. Everyone was talking about it on social media. And now, students are trying to imitate it on Ohio State's campus. It's just not something you see everyday.
"Of course there were going to be reactions in there," Farris said of the team film room when the play came across the screen. "Did you guys ohhh and ahh when you saw it?"
The press box did buzz about Miller's spin, which is why it's still being talked about two days later. It's an early play of the year candidate for college football, and the Buckeyes are only three days away from hosting Hawai'i for their second game of the season.
"Everybody's watching the game Monday night, made me go like, 'Dang, everybody's hitting me up,' and stuff like that," Miller said, noting how celebs like LeBron James drew attention to it on Twitter and elsewhere. "Just good to know I do something good on the field and they really notice it and stuff like that."
It came in his first game at his new position, and while he might still be a raw at a few of the finer aspects of it, plays like that from Miller are what give Ohio State something no other teams have: Ridiculous skill all over the field.
"No matter where you put him on the field he's going to make plays," Curtis Samuel, another H-back, said Wednesday of Miller. "I knew that he had it in him and he knew he had it in himself so he just went out there and did what he had to do."
What he had to do what put the Internet on ice for a few hours, after waiting his turn to make a play in an already loaded offense that only gets better this weekend with the return of three players.
"Playing this position, you gotta be patient. Half the time you're not even touching the ball for the first half or first quarter, whatever," Miller said. "Coach Meyer is going to get the ball in the playmakers hand, so you gotta be patient."
He won't have to be patient much longer if he keeps making plays like the one against the Hokies.
