[quote]This is always hilarious saying BH is a run threat. He is neither a run nor pass threat.[/quot
He has not proven himself to be a good runner but he does have a stronger arm and has proven to throw a better deep ball than DE. That said I think DE is the better QB. However, it probably would have been a good idea to give BH a couple of series in the second half we were not moving the ball---IF we had prepared him during the 2 weeks we had.
Bottom line is neither QB was likely to be effective. One has accuracy problems & poor composure, one does not possess good arm strength and for some reason did not show good composure in this game and had accuracy problems also. You need an effective QB to beat Bama, no way you run your way to victory. It will be pass first when that becomes effective then you can run.

So because he throws a better deep ball we would win the game? We would have literally ran the same exact offense that Miles just got fired for if that would have happened. Pound the rock into a brick wall and throw 40 yard bombs and pray to god we get lucky. No thank you. BH had his shot and blew it. Etling deserved the start and still deserves the start this weekend

quote:I 100% agree Etling is the better QB, but it's nonsense to say Harris isn't a run threat. He may prefer passing from the pocket, but he had plenty of rollouts and bootlegs where he got to the edge VERY quickly, outrunning edge rushers to do so.

quote:Given that Alabama has great pashrushers, and given that Etling has shown a tendency to get hit hard a couple times a game from even weaker defenses, it would have been stupid to NOT prepare him.

Harris is a junior and a former starter. You can't save him for later, so he needs to be ready.
You have to be able to take advantage of anything you have in the arsenal; in a tied game in the 4th quarter, when your offense is still sitting at 100 yds total for the game, you need to be open to any option. The game was there for the taking, if you make the right move. Not saying we would win or Harris would work out, but he was worth a try for a series.
