Miller accounts for 3 TDs in Buckeyes’ spring game

CINCINNATI (AP) — Ohio State coach Urban Meyer preferred to talk about Tiger Woods’ two-shot penalty at the Masters than his team’s final spring workout.

”Do you mind if we talk about that for a minute?” he said after the Buckeyes’ annual spring game. ”That’s probably more interesting than what I’ve got to say.”

Still, there was plenty of noteworthy items from Saturday’s intrasquad scrimmage played at the Cincinnati Bengals’ Paul Brown Stadium due to reconstruction being done at Ohio Stadium.

Braxton Miller threw for two touchdowns and ran for another to lead the Scarlet to a 31-14 victory over the Gray before 37,643 scarlet-clad fans.

The junior was the Big Ten’s offensive player of the year last season as the Buckeyes surprised many with a 12-0 season in Urban Meyer’s first year as head coach. Miller, who was 16 of 25 passing for 217 yards, threw scoring passes of 20 yards to Devin Smith and 3 yards to Corey Brown, and also rushed for a 3-yard score.

”I’ve still got to work on some things, watch some film and fix some mistakes,” Miller said. ”I was just trying to make the pass, get guys open and get the ball in their hands.”
