re: Under Miles, How Did This Team Go 2-2?

It's clear this team functions better with Etling. He does all the little things correct, plus puts in extra time in the film room, and throws the ball better. Why was Harris on the field?

You're spot on with everything you said in that quote, in my opinion. So far, the offense looks a hundred times better with Etling.

But I'm pretty sure Etling was not able to play last year due to his transfer from Purdue, and Harris didn't play that bad last year, in my eyes. And then I believe Etling hurt his back (or some kind of injury) a week or two before the Wisconsin game.

So you have a Junior QB that started every game last year, or a transfer from a different program to start the season. I have no idea how either QB looked in practices, but imagine what every damn poster here on the rant would be complaining about if Etling started the Wisconsin game and Harris never got his chance.

In that scenario, If Etlings stats were exactly the same as they are now, people would be screaming bloody murder.
