Tough is his SEC-caliber attribute. Every other pass over 5 yards is either overthrown or one-hopped. He doesn't know when to run and he had plenty of those opportunities. At least pick up 2 or 3 yards and slide. As far as records, we played against historically bad defenses in most of those games. It's not hard to break offensive records when you have Guice and Fournette running wild. No doubt in my mind that we could have been breaking records if CLM and Cam could run a decent offensive scheme.


You can't deny the improvement of production under Etling. I never said that he was all that but he has played well enough for me to call him more than just serviceable. His ability to go through progressions alone put him in a better category IMO.

Don't listen to these idiots or engage them they don't know anything. Etling has been the reason this ship didn't sink after miles and harris had us in the worst possible spot we could be at the beginning of the year. He didn't have fournette healthy to lean on guice has been great but levels off quite a bit vs the better defenses. Etling has been our most consistent offensive player and the unquestioned leader of this team. Without him we'd be in doubt of making a bowl. He took an offense struggling to gain 330ypg and beat teams like miss st and jville state and has turned our offense into one that avgs about 500 ypg and has broken at least 5 records in less than a season. Thank god coach O and the staff know better and there's no threat of Etling losing his job next season.
