Ohio State at Cal: Braxton Miller not dressed in pregame warmups

Well who knows if this is subterfuge by Urban Meyer, but at the moment it doesn't look like Braxton Miller will be the starting quarterback for Ohio State against Cal. Miller was not dressed when he took the field before the game in Memorial Stadium.

Braxton Miller is on the field, but is not wearing cleats like the rest of his teammates. WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? pic.twitter.com/62jBoVHfOk

Braxton Miller is out on the field in a t-shirt and shorts throwing a ball around with an OSU staffer. #Cal #OhioState

If Braxton can't go, Kenny Guiton will lead the #Buckeyes pic.twitter.com/fiDwPPDwUx

So that probably means it'll be Kenny Guiton who will be tasked with leading the Buckeyes past the battered Cal defense. Here's how Guiton has performed so far this season.

• 69% completion rate
• 173 passing yards
• Three touchdowns
• One interception
• 10 rushes, 89 yards, one touchdown.

Hard to tell if Braxton being out being is a good thing for Cal, as their defense has been ill-suited to stop any sort of offense or quarterback this season. Heck, Cal knocked out Northwestern's starting quarterback and was gashed and slashed by his backup. So it remains to be seen what it means.

And who knows, maybe this is just cloak-and-dagger. It would be pretty elaborate cloak-and-dagger at this point.

In other injury news, for Cal...

Michael Lowe listed as starting FS. Alex Logan at SS. Nick Forbes at backup weakside LB. Chris McCain at 2nd/3rd rush end #CalFootball

For Ohio State...

MT @TIM_MAYsports: Word is DE Adolphus Washington (groin) didn't make trip, which might lead to frosh Joey Bosa 1st start. Or Steve Miller.
