I agree, Eling just lacks the arm strength. I love his toughness, but he is too limited. Maybe with a new OC, we can see the potential of Harris come to fruition. Still, the play calling was too conservative. As well as too many of those FB dives.
Right, but O doesn't call any of that. He had to work with what he was given. Don't get me wrong, he fucked up. The game was tight and he made it worse at times, but so did cheddar teeth on the other sideline. The end of the game came down to LSU fucking up 1 too many times.
With O wanting install the spread or versions of it with a mobile QB, what's that do for the Brennan kid from Mississippi? Still a go?
Word is, he very solid to LSU. A good coach will tailor the O to what his QB does well. As long as he is a solid enough athlete to run a few times we should be fine.
Are you mad? Etling's arm is strong enough, and he gets better every game. Quick enough to make a few runs too. Harris has repeatedly proven to be incompetent for the role. He lacks the most important QB quality, making good decisions.
Maybe Harris is just that bad. I'd like to have seen him in a more spread like scheme. Harris was forced into a role that he is not suited for. This goes back to the whole Miles, ruing QB's. Put Harris on TCU, Baylor, Oregon, etc and I'd bet he would be very productive. There is reason most of the passes or very short and underneath. Etling struggles intermediate and deep. I agree, he is improving each week.
I'm still waiting for for Harris to show he has the mental game to match his physical. Hopefully someone else can bring it out. Because so far its been a roller coaster.
