Guiton To The Rescue For Buckeyes

NICE. Mad props to Kenny G. Found a good video of him from 2011, what a great kid. So happy, so positive. Way to go Kenny. Best backup Buckeye QB ever.

Thanks for the comment. We know if Brax can't go, Guiton would give them a chance. But man PSU looks real good right now.

I think that we may actually see the offense run "smoother" with Guiton in. He knows the game very well and seems unflappable.

Not "better", because Braxton is an athletic freak who has a strong arm and crazy skills, but more of "playing within the system".

Way to go Kenny G, you are the man. I really liked the way he stood in the pocket and then rolled out to buy more time several times in the game. There were serveral times I thought he was going to be sacked, and then he would throw the ball right before the defender got to him.

Go Bucks.

From the little we've seen from Guiton to date, he looks to be more of a point guard at QB. Frankly, I think that's what this offense is designed for. We don't have the horses at the skill positions to go too far without a special weapon like Brax at QB, but I think we would be more up tempo and spread the field more with a skill set like KG at QB. He also missed a couple of deep passes that shows he just needs to game reps to get it right. I think the offense can look crisp next week against a D like PSU with KG and Carlos, especially if we can get Hall back to take the Philly role, and Philly is healthy enough to go at WR to take some pressure off Devin and open the deep middle for Heurman.

Love to both QB's on the field at the same time.We know it works.GO BUCKS!

Braxton is a much much better athlete than Kenny is but lets face it, Brax does a crappy job of getting the ball to receivers on short passes and finesse passes. He doesn't see ar react quick enough to hit the open receiver and he often throws way too hard and is inaccurate on his short passes, severely limiting their chance to run after the catch IF they can catch it at all. I think we should get Kenny and Brax on the field at the same time, on occassion. This would open the opportunity to hit Brax in space . . which is where he does his thing.

Kenny is not a runner but he could probably run the option more effectively. Kenny has a coolness under pressure that Brax only has when he is running the ball OR throwing the long ball.

With our defense, we are going to have put a lot of points on the board, so why not create a few more options?

THIS ^^^^^^. Many times I was screaming thinking he was about to get sacked, but he kept his cool. Not many QBs - especially backup QBs - would stay cool like that. Impressive.

If we need to protect XBRAX360's health for the final 2 games, I am totally comfortable with KG -- and it might not be a bad idea.

Great points, he showed confidence and poise well beyond his experience. He looked like he belonged in that situation.
