Why is this news?: Michael Thomas' star on the rise, Ohio State prepares for 'The Bear'

If Ohio State wants to walk out of Blacksburg as the victor on Monday night, it might come down to Michael Thomas, no matter who is lining up under center. The spring game superstar-turned-indispensable weapon will need to have a big game to keep the wheels of the Buckeye offense moving. He's really the only available Ohio State receiver with any game experience (we see you, Jeff Greene), and although Braxton Miller and Curtis Samuel will bring their dynamic playmaking skills to the position this season, game one's success might fall on Thomas' seasoned shoulders.
