Barnhart on Harris and Nov 7

5. If Brandon Harris keeps playing like this, LSU is going to be hard to beat.

But what caught my eye in the Florida game was LSU quarterback Brandon Harris, who threw for more than 200 yards for the second consecutive game...Harris was 10-of-12 for 189 yards and two TDs in the first half. LSU had a 28-point second quarter that was a thing of beauty. Harris threw a perfect 9-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to Malachi Dupre. He also had passes of 52 and 50 yards to Dupre...The only doubts any of us had about LSU this season was the ability to get something positive out of its quarterback. If Harris keeps playing like this, LSU can beat anybody.

1. The countdown to Nov. 7 has begun.
Both Alabama, a 41-23 winner at Texas A&M, and LSU, a 35-28 winner over Florida, were impressive Saturday. Both will be challenged this Saturday for the reasons we just outlined. But both will be more than double-digit favorites at home. Both are off Oct. 31. Both have big-time running backs. Both have quarterbacks who are not spectacular but are getting the job done.

You see where I’m going here?

Hey, I’m just trying to beat the rush. Because if both teams take care of business on Saturday — and they will — the bandwagon for Nov. 7 is going to get real crowded in a hurry.
