Harris' role going forward will be interesting

Sitting on the bench is not interesting, baw

Ettling is 2 picks and a bad half away from being benched. We know this because Les Miles.

barring injury and blowouts, if Harris sees the field again, Les will lose his job

I don't know but it looked to me that after Etling took that knee to end the game, Harris ran over to him and congratulated him. I know he's made some questionable decisions over the past few days but I was glad to see this. I know he wants to be the man and who doesn't, that's why players come here. Maybe he saw how much more efficient the offense was and is accepting that he just wasn't getting it done at the moment. Harris always seemed like a good kid and I think he will start to put in that extra work and when he is called on again, you will see an improved player.

Etling is the qb. If not this year, LSU will flirt with the ship next year, unless there is a coaching change. I know many may disagree, but it would almost be a shame for Etling if Miles and Cam are gone after this season. New coach and staff could make it more unlikely to win it all right away next year.

ETA: thinking back, Mauck, and Flynn won championships after having their breakout season. It sets up nicely for Etling with continued success this season.

Les is saving Harris for the championship game!

Yeah, it would really suck for a qb to get an OC who could develop him & to have a HC who runs, or allows his OC to run, an offense that puts him in a position to spread the ball around to the talent that surrounds him.
Surely you don't believe LM & CC will have this team prepared to "flirt with a championship"? It would be a blessing to Etling, & every other member of the team, if LM & CC are gone after this season. Someone in another post mentioned that LM is

; unfortunately, this is the insanity that could become fact. (JJ/JL 2011). I was a CLM supporter but I have seen the light, his time here is over. He has done great things for the LSU football program & been a great ambassador for the university but his time here is done, the game has passed him up & he stubbornly refuses to accept it. Etling is too little too late & even then, it's not like CLM really "likes" that he had to make the move.

Watched him closely in pre-game....that sealed the deal for me on his character...not impressed
