Les Miles refutes any report that Etling is sidelined. He says the #LSU QB suffered a slight injury but is practicing and will travel.

That is not peripheral neuropathy

I suffer with this too. It generally takes me 4 to 6 weeks to recover from the onset.

I would recommend an adjustment, deep tissue massage, and anti-inflammatory natural remedies such as tumeric and cat's claw.

i doubt les would let etling sling it around much anyway. if a backup is in they will be handing it off every time.

uh, and the defense probably knows that too. Hence the problem.

whatever changes or opening up of the offense by more play action and zone read may have just been thrown in the garbage. I don't think they will be wanting Harris to run at all and risking injury with the potential of having to throw a true freshman out there.

All this time I thought Ettling was still in his Jr year and would still be here next year???

ETA: LSUsports.net calls him a RS-JR... So sounds like article is inaccurate.

My thoughts exactly, the injury they described is one I suffered a couple years ago. Lumbar radiculopathy. Still bothers me....

They're not going to change a gameplan because the backup QB got hurt. BH is still playing, and until that changes, there's no need to change anything.

Scott will hand off and maybe do some option play late in the game. Them again, Miles may trot Etling out just to hand it off, who really knows.

Scott may be young and have arm limitations but he is a chain-mover. I'll take him in a pinch all day long.



I'd just assume see him play in a cupcake game or two before playing him over a hobbled but not crippled Etling.

It's much, much more likely that he's unable to move the offense if he's forced to play at this stage of his career.
