Every JG Throw vs WVU

I felt pretty good about his play....obviously need to give him more time to throw. Also, can someone do this type of video for every Tim Jordan run? :)

Out of all the WRs targeted not many dropped one. Did not see JJ drop one for example. Why didn't we target these guys more? Helton will get better methinks.

Wonder how much different his numbers (and the score) would have been if the OL hadn't looked like the "London Silly Nannys" the first half?!? :mad:

I should have just waited to watch the JG highlights instead of the whole game! He looked like a different kid out there!

If he has time to drop back and set to make the throws, he can make almost all of them. The arm talent is there. I know the popular thing to do is rip players after a tough loss, but I think JG did GREAT against WV.

I fully support this message. JG impressed me. Especially compared to last year. I really like his demeanor and passing.

WVU fan here. Was impressed with JG and was surprised you guys didn't rely on him more later in the game. We didn't have an answer for him and Callaway.

One thing I did not is that most of the time you guys would lose yards on first down which would put you in a hole and leave you with 3rd and long. WVU had this same issue last year. That, and penalties is what really killed you guys on offense.

Still think Pruit is your guy and I think JG is going to have a good year.

I only saw 2 bad throws. First play doesn't count because he was hit as he threw. The bubble screen he threw soon after that pulled the receiver back a couple of yards and destroyed the timing. His last pass into the endzone needed some touch on it but touch has never been JGs strength. The O line got better as the game went along but we were too far in the hole. D line played fairly well but linebackers never showed up. DBs were lost playing man to man and could never find the ball with their backs to the QB all day. We may have play a lot of Zone for a while.

JG did very good. He has progressed nicely and is making good decisions and throws. He had a couple, and I mean 2, bad throws (the crossing pattern that hit the receiver in the knee and the overthrow on the screen), but the rest were good.

Two big things I saw is that he is a drop back pocket passer who can run. He needs work on his roll out passing game. That's not a slight, just an area to work on. And he is best in the intermediate passing game. He could have worked the corners at the 7 to 20 yards deep all day. Very accurate and crisp on those passes.

His biggest weak points is the middle of the field and finesse. He tends to throw low to the middle of the field. And his touch on the ball in the short passing game isn't there yet.

The worst play of the bunch to me was that he didn't send motion into the blitz or check out when WV brought the house on the throw where he got his head taken off. Overall I really wish he would have had 10-15 more attempts. Helton/Pruitt were holding him back and I honestly don't know why. I get that we wanted to eat some clock. Although the 3-7 yard passes are just as good as a run attempt to burn clock.

I can deal with these things. I'd much rather his tendency be to throw low over the middle than for it to sail. Sailing high over the middle is a perfect recipe for a pick. I agree that he could use some touch, but I also don't mind the velocity. Less chance for the defender to close.

He struck me as very talented but raw QB. There's every opportunity for him to be really good if the coaching and effort is there.

Absolutely. Just pointing them out. JG has drastically improved. You can tell what an offseason of coaching with a good staff can do for a kid by just looking at this year vs last for him.

I think it was all part of the game plan. If JG hits Palmer in the corner of the endzone then I think most come away with a much different opinion of the game. Maybe WVU scores again after that. Maybe we don’t jump offsides on that field goal. 36-21 doesnt sound near as bad as 40-14.

The game plan wasn’t bad, but I think after seeing how JG threw the ball around we will see more trust put in him by Pruitt and Helton to go win us games with his arm.

Game plans are meant to be tweaked. Lets hope he does a better job the rest of the season with his playcalling.

Didn’t even look. Protect or kickers, quarterback lead and ballgame? Guarantano obviously is going to do fine this year and be very good next year. Pass block and he will be ok just like any good qb. He has more targets obviously. Wonder what would’ve happened if we had Gone full air raid on West vagina? Not typo
