I'm thinking he can put up somehwere around 2500 yards passing with 60% to 62% completetion percentage. I think he will throw for around 20 touchdowns against 5 to 8 picks. On the ground I see him bringing around 800 again with somewhere around 7 to 10 tds. What does everybody else think?

Want to say hello?
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
I am going to go with
160-230, 1900 yds, 22 tds, 11 ints
120 carries, 900 yds, 8 tds
I think he will impress people with his improved accuracy but I think that Guiton will see a little time in blowouts, his running stats won't be out of the world because we have so many backs, and our defense will be so stout that hes going to be dealing with a short field all year long.
I think we'll see a huge leap from him in terms of knowledge, game management, leadership, and I think his stat line will reflect that to a degree. However, 2013 is when we'll see him just pack the stat line and really make a push as one of the elite players in college football
I agree 2013 is where I think he will truly set college football on fire.
Well put, OSUASU. I think he will show marked improvement this year (as one can only expect given his circumstances last season). However, I think he'll hit well over 2000 yards, and honestly I think he'll be closer to 3000. Meyer's biggest stress was that we couldn't pass the ball last year and he wanted to work on it, so I doubt he has his QB come out and only average about 150 or so yards a game through the air. I predict:
63% Completion
2850 yards
24 TD
8 INT
750 rushing
7 TDs
However, I will certainly agree that 2013 will be the year we see him cement himself in the Heisman discussion.
2400 yards passing on 62% completion rate w/ 25 TDs and 8 INTs
750 yards rushing w/ 10 TDs.
The 2012 National Champions.
1850 yds passing, 19 TDs, 8 INTs, 59% completions
1075 yds rushing, 7 TDS, 2 fumbles
Those who stay will be CHAMPIONS!

I'm going first game of the season he goes for 310 - 3 TDs... 95 rushing and 2 TDs.
2048 yards passing 20 TD's 9 INT's 58% completions
837 yards rushing 13 TD's 4.4 yards per carry
vacuuming sucks
Braxton Miller attempted 157 passes last season and averaged 7.3 ypa. I expect his attempts to nearly double to around 300 (Tebow had 350 attempts his sophomore year) and ypa to tick upward to say 8 ypa (TT went for 9.4 soph) for around 2400 yards passing. Best guess is that 13 TDs turns into around 22. Double the attempts equals double the INTs minus one for experience = 7 INTs.
On the ground he had 159 carries last year for a modest 4.5 ypc avg, but that average includes A LOT of sacks, and I expect him to get rid of the ball better this year. Tebow carried 210 times his sophomore year. I'll say Miller gets around 200 carries at around 5 ypc =1000. His 7 TDs from last year climbs up a bit to 10.
So ...
2400 yards passing 22 Tds 7 INTs
1000 yards rushing 10 TDs
I think he passes for at least 2000 Yards, But I will guyss 2500 Passing yards with around 20 Td's, with 5 INT's and 850 Yards rushing. I don't think he will throw to many picks as he will throw a lot of quick passes, and he didn't throw that many last year and he didn't throw the ball well at all.
@AHH
Nice, I like the statistical projection and comparison from last year and to tebow. I was right about with you on the passing side of things, less a few yards but I played it conservatively, I can certainly see him eclipse 2,000 by a solid amount.
Running though, I have to disagree. I think we will see less running (attempts) but more big plays from Braxton. I think he will run more early in the year and once he starts to get his feet under him in the new offense and comfortable, we're going to see his carries drop to about 10-12 per game and they will be BIG runs.
However, they have said he has bulked up, he definitely looks a bit bigger and maybe he is ready to handle the hits.
Anyhow, great way to compare the stats
Anyone know what his current weight is? I'm always happy to see a player develop his body type in the opposite of Denard "featherweight" Robinson.

He'll be better than Robinson...this year...

Better in what sense? Better passer, yes. Robinson has already made himself a college football icon with the records he's broken already.

I think stoney gets a lot of red zone td's.

I hope that for one of those red zone TDs, Stoney goes over and pees on the stantion to the field goal like a dog on a fire hydrant.
I am only half serious and half joking and I'm pretty sure ESPN would have a field day with it and Urban would make Stoney pay for it..but still, it'd be hilarious
2000 yards passing
1000 yards rushing
30+ total TD's
This will be the year he breaks out like Troy Smith did... He will be a Heisman candidate his junior year.
2350 yrds passing, 21 TD, 7 INT, 63% completion percentage
850 yrds rushing, 4.8 ypc, 9 TD
This^^^with possibility of being on the list this year. Just not top 5...not this year anyway. He played in a similar offense at Huber Heights Wayne (state runner up in DI isn't too bad). His stats last year would have been MUCH better if utilized correctly as well as having him penciled in at starting Qb after Akron. But oh well...he'll do well this year.
