Sounding like a grizzled manager referring to his shut-down relief pitcher, Urban Meyer called Kenny Guiton “the old right-hander.” Come to think of it, maybe Guiton is No. 3 Ohio State’s closer. He took over when Braxton Miller left with a sprained left knee, running for one touchdown and passing for two on Saturday while […]
