re: Brandon Harris will start next game

but give me the SEC game experience over 6/14 100yards at home vs a FCS team.

Experience means nothing if a player is terrible.

And did you even watch the game, particularly the second qtr?. Etling looked very solid and you could see how much better the team reacted to the change.

I'll never understand that line of thinking. Etling doesn't have experience playing MSU because he's never had the opportunity, if you don't give it to him then he'll never have the experience. He earned the start and Harris has earned the bench...maybe they'll both wind up better for it, that's coaching. It's not like he has no experience. He's started against the B1G schools

The only reason he didn't complete a pass in the 2nd half is due to drops and penalties calling plays back. Or else his stat line would look something like 9/14 200 yards 2 TD 0 picks. He played better than his real stats show

While Etling didn't light the world on fire, the fact that he energized the entire team and Tiger Stadium roared when the offense made a first down, speaks to how little we expect of our offense right now. Pretty sad. I like Brandon Harris but he is just off right now and has not improved much during his years here.

Is Etling the answer, do we go back to Harris? That I don't know but I honestly believe if we had not made a switch last night we potentially lose that game.

I sure hope not
