He ended up going 4-1




Came in at end of Ole Miss game which was a loss. Lost the Arkansas game with zero offense in the 2nd half. Won the bowl game against Georgia Tech. Many glossed over his actual stats though. 16/25 142/1/0. Didn't exactly set the world on fire.

It's obvious that Harris has the best physical tools at the QB position on the roster. Should be a great competition and Cam will choose the one that gives the team the best chance to win.

I was asking really, I didn't know the exact stat line. I said 4-1 or something like that. I couldn't recall

I could see a dual system starting out and then a transition to Harris but I can't imagine les and co letting a true freshman start the first snap

He actually had an 86 yard pass TD called back which would have made it 17/25 228 2 TDs and added another 25 yards on the ground, which is great in a game where you are a true freshman in your 2nd start against a top 15 team. I mean Scott was the leading rusher with 65 yards, Williams was #2 with 42, and JJ was #3.

I agree with this. If Harris can be good when the defense is not vanilla, and he runs the full offense in the fall pretty decent, then he should start. If Jennings has improved his accuracy and actually leans on his legs as an asset, then he will start. Those are the only real things still holding them back.

I thought those stats were pretty good considering
he was a true freshman making his 2nd start. Mett threw for 190 yds in his 1st start vs. N. Tex after being in the program a full yr and college football 3 yrs.

I agree.
