No. 8 – Braxton Miller in the “spin” cycle against Virginia Tech (2015)
The time former quarterback turned wide receiver Braxton Miller spun his way out of trouble in Blacksburg will forever be a favorite GIF of Buckeye fans everywhere.
Ohio State was coming off a national championship and were all set to get revenge on the one team that beat it in 2014 when it embarked on a trip to Virginia Tech. As the No. 1 ranked squad, the Buckeyes didn’t look spectacular, but more than took care of business on the road in a very hostile environment.
Cardale Jones won the starting job over J.T. Barrett and Miller who decided to move to wide receiver because of a shoulder injury. It’s a good thing he did. Everyone will remember the time Miller took an end-around, caught the edge and spun away from two Hokie defenders to leave a couple of jock-straps on the ground and race to the end zone.
