Why not Harris?

No

This is always hilarious saying BH is a run threat. He is neither a run nor pass threat.

He has not proven himself to be a good runner but he does have a stronger arm and has proven to throw a better deep ball than DE. That said I think DE is the better QB. However, it probably would have been a good idea to give BH a couple of series in the second half we were not moving the ball---IF we had prepared him during the 2 weeks we had.

Bottom line is neither QB was likely to be effective. One has accuracy problems & poor composure, one does not possess good arm strength and for some reason did not show good composure in this game and had accuracy problems also. You need an effective QB to beat Bama, no way you run your way to victory. It will be pass first when that becomes effective then you can run.

I 100% agree Etling is the better QB, but it's nonsense to say Harris isn't a run threat. He may prefer passing from the pocket, but he had plenty of rollouts and bootlegs where he got to the edge VERY quickly, outrunning edge rushers to do so.

Given that Alabama has great pashrushers, and given that Etling has shown a tendency to get hit hard a couple times a game from even weaker defenses, it would have been stupid to NOT prepare him.

Harris is a junior and a former starter. You can't save him for later, so he needs to be ready.

You have to be able to take advantage of anything you have in the arsenal; in a tied game in the 4th quarter, when your offense is still sitting at 100 yds total for the game, you need to be open to any option. The game was there for the taking, if you make the right move. Not saying we would win or Harris would work out, but he was worth a try for a series.

He actually throws a beautiful deep ball. If he hasn't been an issue off the field, i think he should have gotten a shot

On the few plays ettling wasnt getting hit, he missed some very easy throws

Because when something doesnt work, you keep trying it and hope it suddenly does start working. It is just crazy to try somthing new.

Harris is an interception machine. LSU was in the game until late in the 4th quarter. LSU would have been out of the game immediately if Harris came in.

Agree 100%, not saying pull Etling the rest of the game, but at least give BH a series or two, if he provides no spark or points, you go back to Etling. THis game was oh so familiar to the NCG in 12. CEO should have absolutely tried another QB for a spark. BTW naysayers he put up 16 pts last year on the gumps, i'm sure you've forgotten. In light of our offensive ineptness you at the very least try something else to gain victory.

Bc he's worse than Etling.

Let it go.
