“I had a Game Boy and there’s a Brett Favre video, and he’s showing play-action and hiding the ball like this,” LSU’s quarterback says, gesturing as if he’s tucking an imaginary ball into his belly.

That’s where it started for Etling, the fifth-year senior who’s off to a hot start in the 2017 season. The 12th-ranked Tigers (2-0) meet Mississippi State (2-0) on Saturday night in Starkville with one of the more accurate passers, at least through two games, in college football.
