Harris' problem wasn't the throw. It was everything that happened before the throw. He turned to slow toward the intended receiver and still had a late release. The decision was sound. Now this is something similar to what Cam Cameron has already criticized him about, although at the time it was for taking an extra step before his release. Essentially the same issue on such a quick route. The ball has got to come out quicker.

Cam Cameron was determined to prove his point, no matter how many laps around the LSU practice fields in the sweltering Bayou humidity it took.

The message Cameron was aiming to teach his precocious 18-year-old early enrolled quarterback was that, no matter what, he could not keep taking that dang false step.

"It's gonna get us beat," Cameron kept telling the kid.

"You're gonna be late."

Brandon Harris had been doing it ever since he arrived in Baton Rouge. Heck, he did it in high school too. But those days were over -- although Cameron's message actually reached more than just his young QB.

"We don't take a punch step for a right hander," Cameron said. "We pivot on our left foot. We think that allows us to get the ball out faster, whether it's off of one step or a quick three or a quick five."

Harris got away with being a step more deliberate in high school. In the SEC, Cameron warned him, that extra step was going to muck everything up and probably would translate into some Pick-6s. So the coach started keeping tabs on Harris' footwork. Every false step in every rep meant an extra lap after practice.
