Video: LSU benches Brandon Harris, Danny Etling immediately throws long TD pass
Published:
Les Miles has apparently seen enough of quarterback Brandon Harris, as the Tigers’ head coach has benched Harris for backup Danny Etling in the second quarter against Jacksonville State.
How did Etling respond? Pretty well actually, as the quarterback came in and threw a 46-yard touchdown soon after entering the game:

LSU’s offense had been sputtering before this point, getting held scoreless without star running back Leonard Fournette in the lineup – the junior Heisman candidate did not suit up after suffering an injury in the opener against Wisconsin.
If Etling can keep it up, the LSU offense may finally have a quarterback to rally behind with conference play beginning next week.
