COLUMBUS, Ohio -

“It’s time to give him a chance.”

Those were OSU Head Coach Luke Fickell’s words to reporters Thursday, as he named freshman Braxton Miller as the Bucks’ starting quarterback for the Colorado game Saturday (3:30pm kickoff at Ohio Stadium).

“He’s got a lot of ability… it’s what we think right now the team needs.” Fickell said.

Miller will get his first start in his 4th career game at OSU. Former Buckeye QB Terrelle Pryor also got his first OSU start in his 4th career game.
