So, how will he do this year?
Watch for Miller to use this season to grow and develop. No, he won’t be able to step on the field as an instant NFL prospect. However, he will get to improve incredibly this particular season since he will be under the guidance of a legendary coach, Urban Meyer.
Miller is in a conference that has considerable quarterback talent including Denard Robinson of Michigan and James Vandenberg of Iowa. But, all points considered, Miller should also become one of the best Big Ten quarterbacks by the end of the season. This is because he presents a dual threat since he can both throw and run with incredible ease. A quarterback with a great running ability as well as a strong arm can be a danger to opponents. Since last year he threw for 13 touchdowns, look for him to improve on that this season.
And, if you’re playing for Meyers, throwing for 13 touchdowns, or even 15, might be a little bit too conservative. Myers will get Miller ratcheted up to throwing more than 15 touchdowns in this coming season. That’s because this legendary coach has a great track record for developing quarterbacks. Plus, Myers has been working with Miller during the entire off-season helping develop greater arm strength.
Although the pass receivers are a little bit questionable for Ohio, if wideouts Corey Brown and Chris Fields are at the top of their game, Miller will have excellent targets for successfully notching up more than 15 touchdowns in the coming season.
