Illinois Football: Breakdown of the Western Illinois offense

Here is the breakdown of the Western Illinois offense.

Quarterback (D-)

The starting quarterback for the Western Illinois Leathernecks is Sean McGuire. He is a 6-foot-3, 228-pound senior from Franklin, Wisconsin.

McGuire had an okay first game of the season against Montana State. He threw for 164 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. He wasn’t effective on the ground, though. He rushed for a total of -14 yards.

Overall, McGuire isn’t a polished quarterback, but he brings a lot of grit to the field. He reminds me of a poor man’s version of Jeff Garcia.
