Smoked did you by chance go to the game? MG looked hesitant and uncomfortable in the pocket and made some bad reads on the WCU defense
I think the better question is did
you see the game?
MG had exactly two incompletions.
I just watched the game again. I suggest you do the same. Guillon's first throw is a beauty. After sending D.J. Hall in motion, Hall runs a quick slant over the middle, and
Guillon delivered. The ball was right on the numbers, had great speed, and was right in an empty hole in the zone. Not only that, but if you watch, Guillon looks off the defenders,
never looking in Hall's direction before finally throwing the ball directly to him. The announcers even pointed that fact out.
His second pass, his first incompletion, was a quick screen out to Matt Miller. Guillon saw that the cornerback was blitzing and quickly dumped it off. The linebacker had shifted over to cover Miller, and it looked like W. Carolina knew what was coming. This is the only thing I can fathom might be a 'bad read' by Guillon.
Third pass was a good pass to Trent Davidson after being pressured, but Davidson dropped it. Not a bad read there.
At this point, Guillon is 1 of 3 for 15 yards, one of those incompletions being a drop after a well-thrown ball. From here on out, Guillon doesn't miss a pass.
In our first offensive drive of the fourth quarter, Guillon hit Marcus McKnight for a quick slant route that requires quick delivery, and on target -
Guillon delivered. On Guillon's next pass, he throws a beautifully places 40 yard strike to Ezekial Knight, over one defender, out of reach of another, and perfectly placed and timed for Knight, who bobbled the catch, but managed to hang on to it. I wouldn't call either of those passes 'hesitant' or 'uncomfortable', and I certainly don't think they were 'bad reads'. On the next pass we see Guillon with a little play-action, then tossing the ball *right* to Le'Ron McClain for the TD. No bad read there, nor any hesitation.
And after that, it was Pennington. I don't really understand your comment. Guillon looked composed, accurate, knowledgable of the Tide's playbook.
