And regardless of drops or no drops, the passes were much more on target than we are used to seeing


Etling was more on target against JSU than Harris was. Harris simply didn't have it and needed to come out.

However, on what amounted to 19 drop backs (15 actual throws), Etling had 6 bad passes. Depending on how you view the 1st half INT with no time remaining, Harris had 6 or 7 bad passes out of 26 dropbacks (22 actual throws) against Wisconsin. The idea that Etling was more accurate than Harris in the game is a myth.

The difference between Etling and Harris, up to this point, is that A) Etling simply looks better doing it from a fundamental standpoint and B) Etling strung together a nice quarter - 6/8 is better than we've seen from Harris in any stretch this year.

You could be right, but my perception is different. I just saw so much more touch, which is a subset of accuracy to me.

No. I would say the difference is LSU scored more points than the opponent with Etling at QB for whatever reason. The stats are useless for Etling so far, other than the W. He really only played 2 quarters anyway. Les put the parking brake on in the fourth quarter as expected.
