I don't know what the policy is on posting articles from other sites, but when it is particularly pertinent, as I think it is in this case, I like to share it with other Buckeye fans. I rip on the Toledo Blade quite a bit, but they do have some good articles on occasion that are worth reading. Here is another good article by David Briggs. I haven't read this anywhere on 11W. If it was posted already, I apologize.
It seems that Braxton and his family are going the extra mile to become a "Heisman type" of QB. He went to San Diego, on his own(or parent's) dime to improve his quarterbacking skills, immediately after the season ended. A man named George Whitfield, a recent QB expert trainer, and former player for Tiffin University has been working with Braxton in southern California. On the beach. Anyway, you can read the rest of it here:

^^^Had a lot of fun in that town for 4 and a half years when I went to the Berg. Met many ppl from college and in Town that were great ppl.
As for Brax360...it will be him and Johnny the whole way next year till Mid December for the Heisman. I'm going with Brax winning it bc I can't see tSEC allowing for 4600 total yards or more this year from Johnny. They'll be keying on him more, as will teams that OSU plays. However OSU will have many more weapons at Brax's disposal this year. I can't wait for late August;-)

I've lived in Tiffin my whole life. Well just outside of it atleast!
Wow. Somebody downvoted me for this. Incredible. Maybe they're not a fan of The Blade? Or Braxton?
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
Thought it too, but don't bring up down votes. Usually only leads to more.
Right. :)
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
I'm convinced many downvotes on seemingly innocuous posts are due to fat thumbs on touchscreens.
I accidently fat fingered you. I'll throw some +1s your way.
Never understood the whole scared concept of not bringing up blatantly stupid down votes. I know it's anonymous but we can still let the voter know we think it was a dumb/dick-move...but instead we accept that it will only bring more down votes. Makes no sense at all, again I'm talking about blatant and obviously uncalled for down votes.

D.Anthony, you know what happens when you do complain. It's not fear of more downvotes, it just snowballs into more arguments which in turn does become a very large amount of downvotes.
Its not fear, just does not good complaining about them or even questioning them. Its just stupid and if you just move on and keep commenting around, 1,2,3 downvotes by some one won't matter anyways.
It just helps to walk away and not question why. Keeps the stress down!
Wow, this is cool. Imagine Braxton's juking/scrambling ability combined with ridiculous down field passing ability. Throw in our newly signed play makers, how do you defend that?
"I'm One Bad Buckeye, and I approve this message."
I agree. When my daughter was in high school a few years ago, I sent her to numerous camps for soccer. One was @ Ohio State. Money well spent.
As a parent, sometimes you have to go the extra mile if you want your kid to excel in a certain sport. It's good to see the Miller's do this. Maybe this will offset the time missed preparing for a bowl game.
"Here officer, hold my beer while I find my license."
I was at this game. Right at that juke, when he broke his ankles, I jumped up[ and started screaming. It was great seeing a wave of fans jump to their feet. beautiful
That first gif is possibly the most beautiful juke I've ever seen. It just looks so natural for him to do something that impressive.
that stutter step . . . SWEET BABY JESUS
Loving those videos almost as much as the original post... Well done guys!
Love the videos! Let's just say, "Braxton knows where the end zone is."

The CaL, and Penn State jukes are my favorite moments from last season. I remember screaming "That was freakin awesome" after the TD against Penn State.
Thanks to the ref for that block in the Indiana game. lol
"YOLO" = I'm about to do something extremely ignorant/stupid & I need an excuse to do it.
I was at the Cal game last year and seeing it live was amazing when it happened. Even my buddy a Cal Alum was star struck. I couldn't wait to watch it later that night on the highlights!
Because they wouldn't let me go for 3!

The offense will be so much better if Brax scrambles a bit more instead of keeping his eyes down field and making a bad throw or taking a sack. I think Urbz said that Brax didn't scramble at all last season. Instead of -6 the play goes for +? that makes a huge difference. The O-Line kept him pretty clean majority of his sacks where from not making an early enough decision to just pick up what he can.
Just wanted to give Spoonerbuck33 his props for first bringing this up in December. Here is a link to the previous thread. http://www.elevenwarriors.com/forum/football/2012/12/braxton-working-with-qb-guru
buckeydude, thanks for the update and link. Up vote for you.
I remembered it too, but I was too lazy to look it up so thanks Blue.
You're my boy Blue!
Just like the PSU juke move, B Miller showing his unbelievable peripheral vision and balance.
Love the pancake by Linsley too.
Favorite block of the year by MR. Chuck Linsley.
It would be nice for Brax to win a Heisman, because he clearly has the talent to do so; however, get my beloved Buckeyes a National Championship instead and he will be loved even more so.
Don't give up... Don't ever give up.
Getting both is my prayer.

Silly Gravity, the Xbrax360 doesn't abide by your stupid laws.
Awesome clips Kareem! Can't wait for the appetizer that is known as spring ball in a few weeks!
