Spring Game Central: Ohio State

BTN.com senior writer Tom Dienhart went to Columbus and tweeted live from the stadium. Follow Tom here: @BTNTomDienhart. Or look in this post for a sampling of his tweets. The Big Ten Network will archive the game on BTN2Go. And it will be replayed Saturday at 11 p.m. on BTN TV.

Ohio State’s Scarlet team defeated the Gray team, 20-14, Saturday on a nippy, gray afternoon at Ohio Stadium in the 2012 LiFE Sports Spring Game. Braxton Miller threw for 258 yards and Rod Smith capped his 47-yard rushing day with a winning touchdown run from seven yards out. True freshman receiver Michael Thomas wasted no time in building a nice rapport with Miller as he caught 12 passes for 131 yards. Red-shirt freshman tight end Nick Vannett caught five passes for 52 yards. Miller was 24-of-31 on the day with one pass intercepted by Adam Griffin.

LB Curtis Grant has a stinger. He could have used the work today for a LB corps with something to prove. #buckeyes #B1G—

I will be watching the #Buckeye offense today. Any receivers stepping up? O-line has 3 news starters. How does QB Braxton Miller look? #B1G—

RB Carlos Hyde is a guy who could see a bigger load today with Jordan Hall out. Also Bri'onte Dunn. #GoBucks—

Who will be the WOW players Urban wants? He says TE Stoneburner is best pass catcher. That has to change. #GoBucks—

Urban has said he needs to be a quick/decisive decision maker. RT @deuceII @BTNTomDienhart Miller looks very accurate in opening drive—

Didn't miss a pass. Notice the quick pace, too. RT @BlockONation @BTNTomDienhart – Braxton's arm looks great so far! #BlkON #GoBucks—

Keep an eye on Right OT Reid Fragel, a former TE who is making the transition. O-line has to develop. #GoBucks—
