Yes. Harris had zero confidence to start that Jacksonville St. game. He had been killed the entire week after Wisconsin, and it showed.

Etling came in and provided an immediate spark.

But let's not forget that Harris did the exact same thing the year before against Ms St. and New Mexico St.

Harris's game against Wisconsin did not look so much worse than a few of Etling's games.

That may be true in terms of stats (don't know and too lazy to check), however Etling clearly showed more poise (other than Bama game and that awful decision vs UL) and pocket awareness.
I really can't think of any game other than Bama where Etling really stunk it up. For the most part he did not get us beat and gave his receivers a chance. That's something Harris did too infrequently.
No point in beating a dead horse. Harris is probably done at LSU. We will never know for sure why he has been a disappointment but it just hasn't worked out.

This. The kid was destroyed at that point.

I could post a whole long thing about the Florida game from the previous season as a counterpoint on Harris.
