We wouldnt have to imagine, we saw it. I looked for some video of Trent at guard but found this article that I didnt see before, pretty funny stuff.
“I saw Ty [Nsekhe] coming in so I was like, 'We’ve got ourselves a 6-foot-8 left guard. Alright, we’re going to make it happen,’” Williams said he first thought when the injury occurred. “Then he pointed to me and said, ‘Guard.’ And I was like, ‘What? No, not me.’ He said, ‘Yeah, coach said go to guard.’ I didn’t have much time to debate about it. I just had to do it."
Despite Williams’ experience, making the mid-game change to a new position is a huge adjustment. He was initially a bit reluctant to take on the spot.
“There was no discussion,” Williams said. “I wanted a little debate. I wanted to at least ask a couple questions, but it was a, ‘Hey you’re at left guard. You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do. We don’t have anybody else. … I only had 30 second to think about it and I just had to go (with) the flow.”
