Will Danny Etling and only 4 losses save Miles job at end of year?

No. As weak as the SEC is this year I'd want him gone if he loses 3 games. No excuse with this team with what we had coming back to lose 3 games. 2 losses maybe. 1 definitely comes back.

If we get to 4 losses? Do u really see us scoring enough points against SEC defenses to win 9 games?

SEC Championship or bust. It's been said.

That dude needs a "take a break" PM

The stadium and players reacted incredibly after the td. After the hopelessness of last week, you can see the change in the attitude of everyone there. There was an honest feeling that the QB change could affect the expectations of the season.

That being said, that feeling kinda went away by the end. The 2nd half was a chance to put some of the concerns away and it just didnt. The truth is we have tremendous deficiencies. Starting with the o line. If they do not gel ASAP we will lose 4 games and there will be no further reprieve for Miles. Not with the favorable schedule and returning talent.

Etling just managed to complete zero passes in an entire half vs. Jacksonville State. What makes you think he's capable of saving anyone's job?

I'm not gonna say he looks like an NFL starter, and I do wonder if he came in hot and came back to earth as play went on.
But someone else noted that the plays changed in the second half. I think first half (second quarter), we called plays we know he could run, and it allowed us to gain control of the game. 2nd half, it seemed like a mix of runs to move clock, and more difficult pass routes to see how he'd do. Hate to say, he didn't set the world on fire.

Good thing is, with a healthy Fournette, then a composed QB capable of running a short passing game might be all we need to stick in almost every game we have left.
