Ed Orgeron waited all summer to see Danny Etling throw in a live setting - post back surgery and all.
So far, the LSU coach likes what he sees.
"All through camp he's been consistent," Orgeron said Saturday after a preseason scrimmage. "He looks like he's throwing the ball better."
Etling said during the week he felt "way ahead of where we were when he stepped off the field in the spring," which was just days before a back surgery that required six weeks of rehabilitation before he could begin throwing again.
He threw to teammates during the summer, but not until the start of preseason practices Monday could coaches get a good look at their first-year senior signal caller.
