QB wasn't the problem last game and anyone who thinks it was wasn't paying attention.

The OL was atrocious. Advocate's article says it all, LSU QBs were pressured on 14 of 25 drop backs...MORE THAN 50% of the time our QBs were under pressure quickly.

Both Etling and Brennan played well considering the amount of pressure they were under. INT was not Brennan's fault at all.

Syracuse dropped another INT right in their hands, probably a pick 6.

The more I watch LSU, the more QB IS THE PROBLEM to me. We haven't had a good college qb in a long long time. Moo State, Syracuse, Arkansas and the Gumps always beat us at QB play. Freshman or Sophomore, it doesn't matter. They get them in and they make things happen and play worlds better at that spot than we ever do. They keep drives alive with their feet. We throw 5 yards on a third and 13.

We are the Saints during the Jim Finks days. He actually believed you could win the Super Bowl with an avg qb. That's why we were stuck with Hebert and Walsh and Wilson.

Except a different QB might be able to handle the OL issues better. Look at the 2 images below from the Advocate. Both times showing plays that COULD have been made, but Etling was unable to find either guy under pressure. Those aren't easy, but they are plays that the better QB's in this league will make to extend drives. Can Brennan do that? I have no idea, but we won't know until he tries.

This really needs to be repeated again and again. The way the Syracuse D got to the offensive backfield on so many plays reminded me of Fournette against Bama two years ago when first contact was made every damn play behind the line of scrimmage.

Lol at not being his fault. Also, was the pic 6 that should have been not his fault either?

Correct. The one that was dropped was definitely his fault. But no harm done there. Just learn from it.

The second one was not his fault. It looked like an awful throw, but when I rewatched it, the receiver ran a wrong route or cut the wrong way, and owned up to it.

I’m excited to see him bulk up and get more comfortable and more experience. He was being rushed and still kept his eyes downfield going through his progression.
