Etling threw a screen pass to Guice in the 2nd quarter, where he had to shift over a step and change his release point to get the ball to Derrius. The play ended up going all the way down to the 1 yard line.

I can't help but think that Brandon Harris would not have made that play because he doesn't seem to be able to make plays in tight spaces where there are lots of bodies flying around. I think that was a great example of how Etling will fit our offense better than BH. Those types of long handoff plays require the QB to improvise and show a deft touch and accuracy.

It was a great call. Their DL was killing our OL with the bull rush.

And yes, I don't think Harris's touch is that good on short flicks like that. He usually breaks LFs fingers

6/14, 100 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.

That's the best game (QBR wise) that Danny Etling has ever had in his career. Let it sink in.

LSU- The only school in the country to talk about how to "complete a screen pass"

Im trying to think of a pass that BH is capable of throwing. His footwork is so bad that he is killing his chances of completing any pass from the start. He has no idea what a pocket is much less how to move in one.

I nearly fell off the couch. I've been thinking for years that the screen was just not part of our offense or that we never could get the timing down or that our o-line tipped off the defense or whatever. Then we run a flawless screen play for a huge gain. That one play more than any other in the 2nd quarter highlighted the difference between Harris and Etling.

In the last 2 games we've run 3 screen passes.

Which is pretty exciting considering we've run maybe 3 total since 2011.
