Re: He realizes he is an insurance policy in case starter Braxton Miller goes down.

Kenny could easily be the 2nd most important player on the team (and he isn't a starter). In any game, if you can't field a competent QB you don't have a very good chance of winning the game; and against a very good team, you basically have no chance.

Kenny is proof of how successful you can be as a quarterback, even with limited skill, if you can make proper reads. I've said it before, but if Braxton could make the quick decisions Guiton does, he'd walk away with the Heisman. Same could be said for Denard, who never figured out how to properly read the zone option.

Kenny is the type of guy who I can see coming back as a coach in a few years. Smart kid, good leader, and bleeds scarlet and gray. I almost feel bad that he never really got a shot to be a starter, I feel he could have made a much better quarterback than many of the previous OSU quarterbacks like Boeckman, Zwick, or Bauserman.

A bridge from Terrelle Pryor and Jim Tressel to Urban Meyer and Braxton Miller, Ohio State backup QB Kenny Guiton is a perfect man for desperate times

COLUMBUS, Ohio – As Ohio State scrambled to find a third scholarship quarterback in 2009, desperate to find a recruit to join Terrelle Pryor and Joe Bauserman in assistant coach Nick Siciliano's quarterbacks room, the Buckeyes stumbled upon Kenny Guiton.

It was just a few days before National Signing Day. Tajh Boyd had decided on Clemson over Ohio State, and Austin Boucher stuck with his pledge to Miami (Ohio) rather than flip to the Buckeyes. Then-recruiting coordinator John Peterson was in Houston, and as the call went out to the OSU staff to find a quarterback, Guiton was in Houston, too, as an under-recruited senior at Eisenhower High.

A day later, he agreed to be a Buckeye, and Eisenhower coach Ray Evans told The Plain Dealer, "It's a great family and they've done a real good job with the kid. He's a 'yes sir, no sir,' kid.”

Last week, more than four years later, Guiton stood in the sun outside Ohio State's practice facility, completely comfortable with his role as a Buckeye. It's a role that leaves him under-appreciated until, in times of desperation, the Buckeyes need him again.

Does offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Tom Herman have faith in Guiton if he's needed?

“Without a doubt,” Herman said. “Without a doubt.”
