I agree. would have been happy to see Harris in at some point in the third.

Etling played bad but damn any QB would have played bad with the way our offensive line blocked. O line is what got us beat. Gotta get better at that position.

I see where your going with this, but its all situational. With Etling, we set offensive records in 3 games, put up points and did it all in the second half. In the huge spotlight of that moment in the back half of the 4th quarter down 7-0 against the #1 team in the country (ALABAMA), does anyone REALLY, ACTUALLY think BH could have stepped in and handle that moment? Everything we have seen from him says no. Why would a guy like Coach O but his arse on the line and make a knee-jerk, hail mary call like that with his coaching future on the line?

I would take my chances with the guys who proved they could move the ball together as a unit in the 3 games prior.

So stupid. The real question should be why didn't we put the second string O-Line in? They were the ones struggling.

I'm sorry, I didn't realize BH was 9-0 with a 13-3 TD/Int ratio this season...

DE didn't do shite against Auburn or Alabama. Never led us to a TD against either. Not one fricking TD

Yet he is so much better than Harris. GTFO

If BH was struggling like DE was I would have the same opinion

I would as well.. I disagree with many posters on this site when it comes to Brandon Harris.. I think he is way different than JJ and Jennings.. I think he is more Jamarcus Russell.. Think he is very gifted physically with his arm.. And I think in a very simple system he could do very well. I would have liked to see that system vs Bama in the Second half...simple zone read system short quick throws... It gets the defense to actually play defense (and be on their heals) then to be attacking all the time such as how our defense and bama's defense was the whole night...

Harris is simply a great athlete with a very good arm. He's a thrower, not a passer. Coach O stated that he's "not an option." Not sure why you can't quite understand that not an option means he's not going to play

Cool hope DE gets him the HC job then.

I wouldn't bet my house on it though

The problem was not DE and BH would not have solved that. The problem was our tackles getting murdered

The tackles missed a lot that night but wide open passes were not it. DE was the problem. The one thing he has for him is poise. If you cannot be good at the one thing you are supposed to be good at then you are the problem.

Oh, he was THE problem? The only one? Go pump for your black QB somewhere else. The entire offense, from those game planning, on down sucked. This includes DE. But guess what, Harris sucks too. It's not the kids' fault though. I think we all know what has caused LSU's problems.

He didn't say he was the only problem Jesus man. Ed is gonna ride with Danny till the end. It's gonna be interesting.

Doesn't matter who was playing QB if the run game is being stuffed every play and the QB has no time in the pocket because the O-line is being dominated

Oh shut the frick up already.

Etling wasn't great by any means but to act, insinuate or believe the he was what's wrong with our offense sat night is just not true.
If you believe that then you obv have an agenda which your race baiting, bitch arse certainly does.

frick yourself.
