per ESPN:

For now, Miller said he plans to embrace the competition -- an aspect of his career at Ohio State that Jones and Barrett simply can't match. Miller has been through more battles, won more games, played in more big moments. The experience ought to serve him well next month and in whatever awaits in the weeks that immediately follow.

"I know who I am as a person," Miller told the Dispatch. "I know who I am as an athlete. As it stands right now, I know I am the best athlete in college football."

Sounds like a guy who's ready to attack whatever assignment comes his way.

Go Gophers!!
 

When he is healthy, this guy is unstoppable. For the Big Ten's sake, I hope he has a monster year.
 

He may be the best athelete, but he is the third best QB at OSU.

I would expect to see him in the slot some with Barrett playing QB most of the time. That would be kind of a nightmare.
Imagine having Miller in the slot and he and Barrett running reverses, or something like the inside bubble screen Iowa used to run. It would seem to me that would be really hard to contain, especially since either of them is also a good enough athlete to catch a pass back and take off.
 

Would expect Miller to be a slash this year (a la kordell Stewart) which will kill d coords because the sub package problems it will cause

Would expect more along the line of jet sweeps with Miller going behind Barrett (essentially makes every play an option pass play) like Florida used to run with Tebow and their scat backs.
Would see Jones and Miller fitting in as the goal line/3rd and very short qbs used to finish drives and keep the chains moving
 

You are probably right, will be a challenge to defend.
