Some of Danny Etling's road starts: @ Notre Dame in 2014, @ Michigan State in 2013 and @ Penn State in 2013. He starts @ Auburn next.


He will be fine.

How did he do in those starts? Hopefully well.




edit:
2013: Appeared in eight games, starting the final seven ... complete 149 of 267 passing attempts (55.8 percent) for 1,690 yards and 10 touchdowns ... made first collegiate appearance as a reserve against Northern Illinois on Sept. 28. Went 19 of 39 for 241 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions ... completed 14 of 35 passes for 184 yards and one touchdown in first collegiate start against Nebraska on Oct. 12 ... was 14 of 25 for 160 yards at Michigan State on Oct. 19 ... went 13 of 29 for 89 yards against No. 4 Ohio State on Nov. 2 ... finished 15 of 28 for 145 yards and a touchdown against Iowa on Nov. 9 ... was 21 of 33 for 223 yards and a touchdown at Penn State on Nov. 16 ... went 20 of 29 for 163 yards and a touchdown against Illinois on Nov. 23 ... had a career-high 33 completions on 49 attempts for 485 yards and four touchdowns at Indiana on Nov. 30.

I think, given how awful his team was, you'd have to actually watch the games, rather than read a stat line, to see how he handled the situation.

I doubt they did very well as a team.

eta:
While I'm here, I have a question i am sure has been asked and answered already, but I can't find anything. He played as a true freshman in 2013, then as a true sophomore in 2014. Last year, as a junior, he sat out a year for us. This year, he would be a senior. How is he eligible to play next year? Was he able to utilize a red shirt for the year he had to sit out due to transfer rules?

Yes, that exactly. When he transferred in he used his redshirt year to sit out.

I think the OP is just saying that Etling has been in a big time atmosphere before.

Last year would be his red-shirt year.

You have 5 years to play 4

Notre Dame lost 14-30
27-40 234 2 TD 2 INT

Michigan St lost 0-14
14-25 160 1 INT

Penn St lost 21-45
21-31 223 1 TD 1 INT

But it's hard to judge those stats with the team is played with then and with the team he is playing with now. I love what I have seen with him so far. He doesn't seem to get rattled and he owns it when he makes a bad throw or a mistake, unlike someone else.

Interesting. I assumed the point of the transfer rule was to penalize the player by removing a year of eligibility. Didn't know the red shirt could be used.

Thanks, team.

I understand that. My post just said I wonder how he did (as in I wonder how he handled the pressure).

And I was wondering how he handled those hostile environments.

Collegiate athletes all have 5 years to play 4. You can take that redshirt year any year you want.

Technically Harris could redshirt next year, and come back in 2018 to piss off the rant as a rsSenior.

I find it interesting that both LSU and Florida have former Boilermakers starting for them right now.

I agree that trying to compare Etling's first road start for LSU to Harris' first road start 2 years ago is like comparing apples to oranges. Etlings started road games before, whereas Harris was as green as can be the last time we went to Auburn.

It's obvious with the rushing yds he ran for his life.
