BATON ROUGE, La. - LSU coach Les Miles said that he wouldnt hesitate to make a change at quarterback if starter Brandon Harris struggled against Jacksonville State on Saturday night. So when Harris began the game with several erratic throws that led to consecutive three-and-outs, Miles didnt waste any time.We went a couple series and felt like Brandon was not really comfortable, Miles said.Backup Danny Etling, a Purdue transfer, entered the game to a joyous ovation on the first series of the second quarter and led LSU on three straight scoring drives, helping the Tigers pull away for a 34-13 victory. Etlings mere presence energized the crowd and LSUs offense, something sorely needed after the Tigers struggled to generate points in a season-opening 16-14 loss to Wisconsin.So, what now? Is the Brandon Harris era over at LSU? A strong indication might have been that Harris never re-entered the game. In fact, third string quarterback Justin McMillan came in during the final series to run the offense after the game was out of hand.I think we have to get Brandon comfortable and settled down and in the flow, and I dont know that that will happen, Miles said. It just kind of depends on how this quarterback competition plays out.It would be a shock if Etling isnt the starter when LSU opens SEC play by hosting Mississippi State on Saturday.Missouri putting up record offense:?Missouris offensively deprived fans suddenly have something to be excited about. Offense. Plenty of it.Missouris 61-21 blowout of Eastern Michigan on Saturday can be passed off as simply beating up on an inferior opponent. Whether it translates to superior defenses in the SEC remains to be seen, but it already appears as though coach Barry Odom pushed the right button in hiring Utah State offensive coordinator Josh Heupel. The numbers put up by Heupels uptempo offense so far indicate Missouris offense is trending in the right direction.Missouri scored only 15 offensive touchdowns last season, but has already scored eight in two games this seasonMissouri has run 178 plays in two games, including 100 in its season opener against West Virginia.Missouri scored more points on Saturday (61) than it did in its final seven games last season combined (56).Sophomore quarterback Drew Lock appears to be flourishing in Heupels offense. He tied a school record with five touchdown passes on Saturday, while also throwing for a career-high 450 yards.Missouri racked up 647 yards of offense on Saturday, the most since 2011.Missouris 61-point output on Saturday was its highest-scoring game since 2012.A true test for Missouris offense comes this week against Georgia and its experienced secondary. It will be a rematch of last years 10-9 Georgia win in Athens, but surely we can expect a much more explosive offensive showing this time around.Was Tennessees win in Bristol fools gold?: Tennessee proved they are, indeed, a contender in the SEC during its 45-24 runaway victory against Virginia Tech in the Battle at Bristol. However, the Vols know they need to play better to win big games coming up in the teeth of their schedule.Virginia Tech outgained Tennessee 400 to 330 in total offense on Saturday, while the Vols only passed for 91 yards.Credit Tennessees defense for having a nose for the ball, forcing and recovering five fumbles that swung the balance of the game. However, Tennessee cant rely on that formula if they want to succeed in a daunting four-game stretch beginning Sept. 24 where they host Florida, travel to Georgia and Texas A&M and face Alabama in Knoxville.Hogs get biggest week two win in college football: Back at SEC Media Days in July, Arkansas coach Bret Bielema delivered a memorable quip. At Arkansas were not built very sexy, he said. We need a lot of time in the bathroom to get ready and come out and look great.Never was that more evident that Saturdays 41-38 overtime win over No. 15 TCU and its sexy passing attack. Arkansas lineman Dan Skipper blocked a potential game-winning field goal from TCU with 10 seconds left in regulation, and quarterback Austin Allen ran over several would-be TCU defenders for the game-winning touchdown run from five yards out in the second overtime. The Razorbacks took on the tough, gritty demeanor of their head coach in the comeback win.Our guys have been scarred, Bielema said. Weve lost some close games, stubbed their toe a little bit early on. But this groups always said, You know, why not us?Extra points:Mississippi State might have found its quarterback. Nick Fitzgerald set a school-record for rushing yards by a quarterback with 195 yards on 17 carries in the Bulldogs 27-14 win over South Carolina.Florida QB Luke Del Rio (19-for-32, 320 yards vs. Kentucky) became the first Gators quarterback to throw for 300 yards in a game since Tyler Murphy did so against Vanderbilt in 2013.After allowing 34 unanswered points in a 44-35 loss to Southern Miss last week, the Wildcats were outscored 79-0 in six quarters before finding the end zone late against Floridas backups.Why was Nick Saban upset with Alabamas performance after Saturdays 38-10 win over Western Kentucky? Alabama committed 12 penalties for 84 yards and rushed for only 3.2 yards per carry. Perhaps Saban was just trying to get his teams attention, though the Crimson Tide probably wont need any extra motivation this week as they try to break a two-game losing streak to Ole Miss.

At this level and in the Southeastern Conference, every game is a big game.Stoops lauded the play of Johnson, who relieved Barker and led Kentucky to its only touchdown in a 45-7 loss at Florida last Saturday.It was good to see Stephen come in and play like that, Stoops said. To see him play like he did was really good. I thought he calmed down and made some good decisions -- early on it was a little rough.

Charles Walker later scored on a 65-yard punt return to cap the Wildcats scoring.THE TAKEAWAYKENTUCKY: Stoops, a former defensive coordinator at Florida State, became more involved in his teams defensive game plan last week after the Wildcats gave up 1,084 yards in the first two games. But the problems continued for Kentucky, which surrendered 500 yards to the Aggies. On the flip side, the Wildcats finished with a season-high 692 yards of offense.I was happy with the way our team responded, Stoops said. A victory is a victory. Were 1-2 and we have a chance to get to .500 next week. Well take a victory any way we can. Were going to learn from it and get better.Stoops said Barker was taken to a nearby hospital but didnt know the extent of his injury.NEW MEXICO STATE: The Aggies, coming off a 32-31 victory over New Mexico, fell to 0-20 against SEC opponents.
