It's legal to hand to a guard providing he turns to face his goal line and is at least 1 yard behind the line of scrimmage when he receives the ball. You're confusing restriction about a lineman lined up next to the snapper with part b of the rule, which states that an end or back can receive the hand off without turning to face their goal line.

REPLY: And also remember that these restrictions are only for a lineman receiving a forward handoff. If he comes behind the QB to get the handoff, it's completely legal with no special restrictions whatsoever. From the sound of your play though, it does indeed sound like the QB handed it forward, so those restrictions would apply.
