Yes, regardless of where he came from, Etling is no Brees. I agree with the 3rd down call but we should have spread the formation.
Yet more common sense from mobius. Might work if O and Emsminger had more than 6 games to work on things as precise as a back shoulder throw.
Etling is definitely no Brees but a back shoulder throw is pretty easy to do on the goal line, or at least it should be for a college quarterback. You just throw the ball at the pylon. Your receiver must use his body to force the defender to the inside so the he can't make a play on the ball. Ball is thrown high enough where the defender can't jump it.
We shoulda jump passed on them fuggers right there. What better way ever to beat them bastards in that spot
