You can't see the entire field at the same time, so it doesn't matter if a guy is open before or after the read gets you there. He is coached to follow the reads. It could very well be that he's following the reads he's being coached and that's why Leach hasn't been too hard on him, whereas he's been pretty vocal about the receivers. This would make the problem more if a scheme issue than a Will issue.

Clearly there's been some adjustments by defenses since the Kentucky game where no one is doing the the rush 3 drop 8 thing anymore. I'm not saying Will is playing well, only that it's very possible that he's following the reads as they're being coached, he's just not being coached well right now based on how defenses have been playing us.
I can't imagine that the offense is designed to immediately check it down to a running back very often. I don't think the Air Raid is much different than most other offenses as far as reads go. Especially with it being based off of the BYU offense under LaVell Edwards.

People are typically rushing four most of the time and using stunts and things like that. Georgia was leaving the middle of the field wide open. Once Will started to hit that some things improved.
