re: Time for Brennan to get a legit opportunity?

Etling was FAR from the biggest problem on Sat. night. Matt references the 41-7 beating at AU 3 years ago. It would have been the same even with Brennan in the game. MSU still would have owned LSU's defense. The drops weren't on Etling.

Now, if you are "playing for next year" already, then I understand putting in Brennan and accept the results as part of the building process. Also, Matt is being a bit disingenuous comparing Georgia and Texas to LSU. Yes, they have played true Freshman QB's. But that is a result of injury vs. strategy. If Etling were to get hurt Brennan would play, just like the other two.

FWIW: I never have gotten the impression that Ogeron thought this team was all that talented. Him playing virtually all of the true freshman and comments that they didn't put championship goals on this team kind of cement that. Honestly, I think Brennan is going to be the starting QB by November because I think O is "playing for next year" (even if he doesn't specifically say so). The only way Brennan isn't the starting QB is if LSU gets to the Bama game 7-1

Fair or unfair, Etling only has one more loss left in his career. If/when that happens I think Ogeron "officially" moves on to next year by starting Brennan.
