re: That was the worst game I've ever watched LSU play in my life.

Wide Receivers:

They played downright awful, 90% of the time they were in single man coverage and still couldn't get any separation. When they did get separation they either dropped the ball or Etling sailed the ball out of bounds. Russel Gage has no business being on the field when y'all have players like Derrick Dillion, Stephen Sullivan, Drake Davis and Jacoby Stevens at your disposal.

This is my issue with the knock against Etling. yes, he's an average QB, but our WRs don't get separation, run lousy routes and can't catch. Throw in poor pass protection which, even though QB pressure may not look as bad, they allowed themselves to get pushed back into the QB which prevented him from being able to step up.

Throw in a very vanilla route tree and I think most QBs are going to struggle. Maybe we need a new QB, but we DEFINITELY need better WR coaching.
