Has your opinion about who wins the Auburn game changed now that Harris is QB?

I've gone from 38-21 AU to 35-33 LSU.

Call me crazy, but I love this spot as the underdog, with the season on the line and one of the hottest QBs in the country against a team that looks ripe for the picking. If we can scheme well (especially on O) and play to our potential (especially on D) we should be just fine.

LSU is probably going to lose.

I just want to see progress by LSU

QB is only one position that i hope progresses. I think Harris is the future but there will be growing pains. Usually always is.

I don't know if it made me switch who I think wins, but I definitely think we have a much better shot

Yeah. I think we beat Auburn this weekend convincingly and get our name back in the national spotlight. Auburn is a pretender.

Maybe Les is just fricking with us and Jennings is out there for the first series.

Negative.

Frankly I'm scared Les sticks to his stubborn ways and puts Harris into bad situations that cause him to fail. I'll be happy if I'm wrong and the first to admit it. (Example, last week this was far from the case)

I would have preferred him roll Jennings out there and if he struggled, put Harris in to rally the troops. Just seems logical to handle it this way since this is what Harris has been comfortable with as a freshman. Auburn is loud. That place is the only other venue that I have been to and thought "this might be louder than Death Valley".

I'm with everyone here, this is a tough task for the coaches, players, and especially QB's.... I'd just like to see improvement.

With that said, if we improve I still believe Auburn is overrated and we could pull out this W.

I still think that Auburn will be more than the Defense can handle and I'm not expecting BH to continue playing lights out. However, imo with Jennings we would have gotten blown out. With BH, it should be a close game, but I'm not expecting any miracles. I just want to be able to look at this team after the game win or lose and know that they're getting better.

Absolutely. It went from a 20% chance of winning, up to a near 70% chance in my mind.

We win by 4 points, IMO.

Harris aside this team is so young. It's tough to win on the road in the sec with veterans. I think this game will be won or be competitive if LSU can run the ball. The oline needs to show up with an attitude. Keep the defense fresh and we can win.

Definite loss with Jennings Maybe a future Heisman for Harris. You bet my outlook has changed.

I had this game marked down as a loss before the season, and even more so after MSU, but seeing how both teams have played recently, I'm now thinking it's 50/50 and we have a good chance to win a close one. I don't know what it is about Harris, but more than just his numbers, it feels like he's the right guy. Everyone on the team just seems to play better when he's out there.

I do believe starting BH6 will give LSU the best chance to win Saturday against the dreaded blue gumps...

Not really considering the lack of playing time given to Harris so far (which should have been avoided) and the eventual denaturing of him in the game by Miles.

The worst case senario would be if Harris struggles and Miles elects to replace Harris and send in Jennings. This again only delays Harris' development leading to more losses.
