The 2 best throws were incomplete, but he played great. The one where he let Jeter out to dry the ball was beautifully placed in the middle of traffic far down field and that Malachi drop on the sideline that he threw on the run was an NFL throw.

The TD pass was a tight window too. Kid has shown flashes of elite arm talent. I think next few games he really gets in a rhythm. He is making great decisions and really leveraging his running ability to keep the defenses honest.

Such an intelligent and mature young man too.

I was anxious over the play calls in the state game. Yesterday, we were able to run for over 400 yards. Really, there wasn't much reason to throw. Running is the safer option and it was no challenge for them.

What I think we're seeing is a gentle development of Brandon Harris. He's going to SEE a lot of football, make calls and reads without being asked to do a whole lot in the early going. They're slow playing him and asking him to be a game manager. LSU wins, he makes some throws when he's asked to, scrambles for some firsts etc.

I think as he proves to Les and Cam that he can make those reads and the easy completions and not look overwhelmed, he'll start to get more and more leash in the form of trust from the coaches and they'll let him go with longer passes in addition to what he's already proved he can do. Sure, I'd like them to be a bit more aggressive but I think as we go on, they'll get more comfortable with Harris.
