re: This ain't Les Miles LSU team

Paul Finebaum said this week there is nothing different about LSU this year. Wrong! The coach is very different. The OC Steve Ensminger is very different. The quarterback is different. He can actually throw the long ball with accuracy. Which makes the entire offense different. No longer can teams put 8 or 9 in the box to stop Fournette. Etling isn't the best QB in the SEC but we don't need him to be the best. We just need him to be good enough to keep the defense from putting 8 or 9 up front to stop No. 7. If they don't stack up up front, Fournette will get his yardage. This ain't Les Miles offense any more. It's Coach O's and it will be good enough to beat Bama Saturday.

To be honest Etling doesn't throw the deep ball as well as Harris. But this obviously isn't the only barometer to playing the QB position well. Decision making, accuracy on short to intermediate routes, and pocket presence are his strong points.
