When University of Toledo coach Jason Candle was evaluating the play of junior quarterback Mitch Guadagni in his first career start, a 66-3 thrashing of Virginia Military Institute on Saturday at the Glass Bowl, he pointed to one play as an embodiment of the qualities that Guadagni brings to the position.
Late in the second quarter, Guadagni rolled right in the pocket to escape pressure up the middle. Always a threat to run, Guadagni surveyed the defense as he escaped. Senior wide receiver Cody Thompson broke off his out route and improvised by running up the sideline into open space.
