Could it also be that BH does better without pressure and Etling does better under pressure?

Kinda like at the driving range vs on the course. I always hit golf balls like a pro on the range and then suck it up on the course. I see BH as that kind of player. Just as good as Etling but the pressure cooks him and he's not that great.

What I keep saying, to which I think the coaches weren't too off the mark by starting Harris. He could very well be a practice warrior. I'm mainly curious about the Etling comment.

it has come up several times on this board that Harris appears to be a practice pro. Evidently, under pressure he cant find his reads, panics, and rushes the throw.

Just watching the in game performances of BH and DE it looks to me like it is a problem between the ears now for Harris.

i have heard from multiple people that Harris is a hell of a practice QB...No pressure, gets redo's, and doesnt worry bout the defense

State game, we were getting blown out. No pressure, came in and played well.

Sam houston, were already winning even with Jennings starting. No pressure though for Harris coming in with a lead.


UF. The one game he played well with pressure.

this is the EXACT example I just gave to a buddy in my office.

Some players are practice players and some are "gamers." I'm assuming that's the reason because Etling is clearly better and more in control than Harris in game situations. Maybe practice is different. I hope that's it.
