LSU quarterback Danny Etling has a big arm.
At this point, it’s hard to deny that.
Whether the Tigers can use that arm power efficiently against the SEC’s top teams remains to be seen. But the talent is there.
You may remember Etling showing off his cannon a couple weeks ago when the Tigers hosted Chattanooga.
Once again this Saturday, Etling was dropping bombs in Baton Rouge.
Check out this impressive 87-yard touchdown pass to Drake Davis against Syracuse on Saturday night:
Danny Etling goes DEEP!

From Etling’s launching point to where the ball was caught, it traveled about 55 yards in the air.
Etling was 10-for-17 with 188 passing yards and a pair of touchdowns nearing the end of the third quarter against the Orange.
The Tigers were ahead 28-12.
