Pretty sure Joe Montana would "struggle mightily" if he had to play behind a line that performed as poorly as the one Etling had that night. Having zero time or space to look downfield and step up in the pocket can make even the best QBs look mediocre. I just worry that Etling's lack of running ability and shiftiness will limit Canada in terms of the variety of plays he can call.

Tigers are around a 12-15 ranked football program right now and I don't see that changing until there is an infusion of talent in the Offensive Line that's a massive improvement from what's been recruited the last 4 or 5 years.

Botton line, Offense will still struggle at times because of this. It's going to be the SOS with OL inconsistency and mental breakdowns.

Last shot here for Grimes to show that he can coach and make this bunch productive. Hope that he does it, but I don't see it happening.............

Do you're basically saying that you don't trust Canada to play the QB who gives us the best chance to win?
