| Kenny Guiton by David Briggs - ToledoBlade |
After the 76-0 destruction of Florida A&M Ohio State improved
to 4-0 behind a school singlke game record 6 touchdown passes by Kenny Guiton,
in the FIRST Half. Many Buckeye fans who were in meltdown mode after the
incumbent Braxton Miller missed another start, this time with a knee injury. It
bears examining whether or not the passing style of Guiton is a better fit for
the offense than that of Miller.
Here are the CAREER stats of each for comparison:

Guiton appears to be more accurate as a passer but does not go
down field as much as Miller. The supposed advantage that Miller has running is
actually not much if any advantage at all. Guiton has a higher per carry
average on fewer opportunities. He is a
pass first QB while Miller’s rush to pass ratio is much higher. Ohio State is
currently 7th in the nation in rushing and probably needs Guiton’s
arm more than Miller’s legs.
