2 Things Etling won't be able to get away with against SEC competition:

I agree on your first point. I disagree on the second. He moves well in the pocket, better than most college QBs.

1. Under-thrown deep balls:

Probably won't be looking deep as much against the heart of the schedule.

Another stupid Etling thread full of ignorant assessments. Can always tell who the "football" ppl are.

Well I see Etling is getting better, you only see 2 things he won't be able to do vs SEC comp.



Since you mentioned "elite DB's" please list those guys, so we will know who they are:

MS ST
Syracuse
Troy
Florida
Auburn
Ole Miss
Alabama
Arkansas
Tennessee
Texas A&M

Now let me remind you "elite"

1. Under-thrown deep balls: Looking back through highlights and several deep balls were under thrown. Receivers helped him out but against elite DBs those are INTs.

How did Manzeil and mccarron get away with it?

This. I'm quite impressed by his pocket presence

That would certainly be concerning. We can't have teams not fearing the deep ball.

Well it will all depend. I'm sure if Canada sees our WR getting separation down the field, he's gonna call for some deep plays.

Thing is, I'm convinced we haven't seen a lot of over the middle mid range shots on purpose. I don't think we want our future opponents knowing we can do that effectively just yet. I think the first game was to show that Etling can actually throw the ball accurately and the second was to show that he can throw it deep so teems won't just load the box automatically on us to stop the run. This will allow Guice to do what he does.

I doubt we will see much difference in the State game either as our WR will be able to get separation for deep passes and the won't be able to stop Guice. I dgaf how good they think their defense is.

There's underthrown deep balls and deep balls thrown into double coverage that are caught for big plays by receivers in almost every game every weekend. Also most DBs don't have good technique so lots of PIs occur on these throws

throwing into triple and quadruple coverage

We have to have the only fan base that makes multiple threads complaining about our QB that has a 189.5 QB rating.

We get it. he's only completing 71% of his passes and has a paltry 12.28 YPA average. Hopefully he'll get better.
