re: To all those calling for Etling to be benched

Some of those calling for Etling to be benched aren't blaming Etling. The LSU team that was out there Saturday is fighting for a Peach Bowl invite at the end of the year. So if a great majority of the problem is youth...go all in on youth and start Brennan so that he can see what SEC play is and there are no "youth" excuses for next year. Having Brennan out there is much more beneficial to LSU than having an average QB in his last year trotting out there for an LSU squad that isn't playing for anything this year (based on how it looked Saturday). Now obviously you wait till the final horn of the Florida game before you do it, but if that game ends in defeat...gotta bring the kid in.

THIS. Not saying that Etling should be benched, but down 37-7 with 13 minutes left, there was no chance of a comeback. Those are valuable in-game, on the road, SEC reps that Brennan (if you really believe he's the future) could have gotten. Our young defensive players are going to be special next year...but what a waste it will be for them only to trot a young QB with no game experience. That was a lost opportunity for game experience. And if we reach loss 2 or 3, at that point Brennan should get 50% of the snaps every game.
