Among the most well-liked backup quarterbacks in recent Buckeye history was Guiton. In a 2012 game against Purdue, he took Braxton Miller’s place due to injury and led a comeback victory that kept the team’s record perfect at 12-0. The next season, he started two games in Miller’s place and threw six touchdown passes in the first half of the game against Florida A&M.

The 32-year-old Guiton will have the rest of the season to try out for this position and try out for a more permanent designation, even though Arkansas is 2-6 and 0-5 in the SEC.
