Guiton justifies Meyer's faith
Backup quarterback steps in capably when Miller misses a few snaps

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- The equations aren't identical, but they're close enough to help Ohio State reach a conclusion.
Just shy of a year ago, the Buckeyes were on the road against an aggressive defense and seemingly in control of the game when Braxton Miller limped to the sideline. With the starting quarterback removed from the formula, the offense collapsed and the lead went with it.

Kenny Guiton's teammates say they have plenty of confidence in him.

Just less than a week ago, they were on the road again taking on the top defensive unit in the Big Ten when Miller's early success was interrupted by a late hit that required medical attention and kept him off the field. This time, the offense kept right on rolling and actually took a lead with Miller doing nothing but observing.

There are certainly plenty of variables that might make it an imperfect comparison, starting with the fact Miller promptly returned for the next drive after his brief absence last week against Michigan State as opposed to missing a critical fourth quarter last year at Nebraska. But with the Huskers heading to Ohio Stadium on Saturday and Kenny Guiton coming off a rare chance to show his work in a meaningful setting, there doesn't appear to be much doubt the Buckeyes are more comfortable when the numbers change at quarterback.

"What's interesting is [Miller] went down on the first drive, bang, Kenny Guiton goes in, real cool," Ohio State coach Urban Meyer said. "I say, 'Kenny, start taking snaps.' He already did. 'Kenny, make sure you get warmed up.' He's already throwing the ball.

"His demeanor and his preparation are impeccable."

It was very satisfying to see Kenny Guiton in on that one play where he delivered a nice shovel pass for his first TD of his career. I was glad for
him and i think he can fill in very nicley if Braxton goes down for a time or two. Kuddos to ya Kenny.

There would've been no shame in not being able to lead the Bucks back today, under trying circumstances. The fact that Kenny did it speaks volumes about his leadership and composure.

Helluva job. :)
