Ohio State's quarterback hurt, out for season

IU OSU Football

Ohio State quarterback Braxton Miller reinjured his right throwing shoulder during a practice Monday and will miss the entire 2014 season, the University announced Tuesday.

“This is an unfortunate injury to a young man who means so much to this program and to Buckeye nation,” Ohio State Coach Urban Meyer said.

IU will play Ohio State on Nov. 22 in Columbus at a time to be announced later.

Miller’s Buckeyes are grouped with IU in the newly-structured East Division of the Big Ten conference.

Since reports of his injury, Ohio State has dropped from 10-1 to 40-1 favorites to win the Big Ten, according to the sports booking organization Bovada.

Ohio State and Michigan State have both overtaken the Buckeyes as favorites to take the conference crown.

Last season against IU, Miller wreaked havoc on the Hoosier defense, picking up 169 rushing yards and two scores, while throwing for 160 yards and two more touchdowns in a 42-14 Buckeye win.

Miller had surgery on his shoulder in February after injuring it on the first drive of Ohio State’s Orange Bowl loss to Clemson. He has since been recovering from the injury while participating in camp activities.

Miller plans to come back for his fourth year of eligibility next season, he said.

He, along with IU junior quarterback Nate Sudfeld, was named to the Manning Award Watch List last week, which recognizes the best quarterback in college football each season.
