quote:

Tell us what happened at Purdue. You got off to a really good start as a freshman and things didn't work out as a sophomore. What happened in that span?

ETLING: I had an ankle injury and tried to play through it one week before it healed up. It didn't work out so well. We decided to go a different way from there.


quote:

What did you learn in your experience as quarterback for Purdue?

ETLING: I definitely learned a lot. I'm not the same quarterback that I was as a freshman, just going in and playing for the first time. I've had a lot of ups and downs in my college career, so it's been nice to have a year off, re-evaluate everything and change my style of play. Learn football again and have fun with it.


quote:

Are all the scrimmages and the spring game an audition for you?

ETLING: Every snap you take is audition, because your teammates see it and the film doesn't lie. We (he and Brandon) continue to show our teammates that we can take care of the ball, get them in the right play and we're energetic.

He sounds like he will be the perfect #2 QB for us this year. A guy with real game experience, mature player. Can't wait to see him in the Spring Game. I think we're in good hands if Harris gets hurt.

Having a good #2 will take pressure off of Harris and build some confidence that the weight is not only on his shoulder. Will do us some good for a change.

He seems great.

Can't wait for the thinly-veiled racist threads calling for him to be the starter before October.

I can already see it after Harris's first incompletion

The sooner you accept the Harris, Etling, McMillain, Scott depth chart, the better.

He is not as fast and athletic but is a hard worker and smart. Is that about right? HAHA

I am really glad the kid is here, however I'll be Suprised if he ever takes meaningful snaps.

So he was replaced as the starter at Purdue and couldn't win that job back (again Purdue) but somehow he'll be the starter at LSU because of a news media interview........

Ok

Paraphrased from 104.9ESPN This morning.


"The reason people inside the program are saying there IS a QB competition is because Etling has been more accurate than Harris despite not having the zip Harris has..."
