Braxton Miller pulled off maybe his most impressive career feat without playing a snap this season: He somehow became underrated despite being the reigning two-time Silver Football winner. Such are the perils, however, of being sidelined; the circus must go on.
But while J.T. Barrett prospered before succumbing to his own injury against Michigan, and Cardale Jones will lead Ohio State into the inaugural playoffs, Urban Meyer again said today he expects his offensive dynamo back at Ohio State in 2015.
Urban Meyer said he expects Braxton Miller to return. "We've had conversations, but I expect him to be back at Ohio State."

And while this would be a coupe for Ohio State fans, the caveat of "conversations" is interesting even though Urban Meyer isn't going to upset the apple cart before the biggest game of his Ohio State career by saying the preseason Heisman favorite doesn't have a spot in Columbus next year. However, the last time Urban spoke on this matter, he walked back from his previous commitment of Braxton Miller being their "guy" in 2015.
In the past week alone, Braxton has been linked (by credulous reporters) to Duke, LSU, Oregon, and Florida State.
