Did Les Miles, LSU Have ​a Chance to Steal Braxton Miller from Ohio State?

COLUMBUS, Ohio — When Braxton Miller confirmed two weeks ago to the Columbus Dispatch that he will be spending the 2015 season at Ohio State, it was supposed to bring an end to the speculation that has surrounded the Buckeyes quarterback throughout the college football offseason.

But while there's no longer any doubt about what team Miller will be playing for this fall, LSU head coach Les Miles has provided some interesting insight into the process that led to the two-time Big Ten MVP's return to Columbus.

Speaking to ESPN during his "car wash" tour of the network on Monday, Miles revealed that he was interested in making a run at Miller, who as a graduate transfer would have had the ability to gain immediate eligibility for the 2015 season had he opted to leave OSU.
