Meyer recently discussed his plans to expand the offensive playbook this season, as noted by David Briggs of the Toledo Blade. Apparently, Miller and the explosive Buckeyes offense were held back by a scaled-back playbook in 2012.

We even did some single-wing, which means a direct snap to the quarterback, and one of our best plays was the quarterback counter because he’s our best player. You’ll see a different style of offense this year.
