A week prior to Ohio State taking on Oregon in the national championship game, Buckeyes fans spent much of Monday fretting about the future of Braxton Miller and what uniforms their Scarlet and Gray-clad team would don next Monday night. Today, as Ohio State opened up practice and some players to the media, there's something to rejoice in.
Cardale Jones and Taylor Decker each announced their decisions to return to school next year.
Decker, a junior and the longest-tenured starter on Ohio State's offensive line, took to Twitter to make sure that Buckeye fans everywhere knew his thoughts on the matter.

Jones, Ohio State's redshirt sophomore and former third-string quarterback, didn't need Twitter. He had the media's full attention, as expected, days after toppling top-ranked Alabama and days before he'll attempt to knock off his Heisman-winning counterpart, Marcus Mariota.
Cardale Jones: "I'll definitely be back (next year)."

With Decker and Jones announcing their intentions, Buckeye fans will wait — patiently we're sure — for similar certainty as it pertains to junior defensive lineman Adolphus Washington and senior quarterback Braxton Miller.
