Or...the competition got tougher in addition to the injury. Look BH has potential. But- he is a dual threat QB in a pro-style offense. I don't think he has shown he can go through progressions when the first option is covered. The O line was put in a bad spot last year imo and has taken too much of the blame. Other than Alabama, we shouldn't have been stopped with better play calling and decent QB play. The deep ball, which BH seems to throw well (all world receivers help), isn't enough against a well coached squad with talent. A lot of fans are saying 11-1 or 12-0. Unless BH improves, the usual opponents will scheme accordingly and two losses is a given. As a junior with this much experience, BH should turn the corner. I guess time will tell. FWIW, I think he will. One week until we kick this shite off. Geaux Tigers.

The defensive backfields of Arkansas and TAMU were not any better than any we faced through the month of September.

So... He showed he was a young and inexperienced QB? The nerve.

From who?
The OL hasn't been blamed nearly enough for their pass pro, which was really bad during that three-game stretch. Harris is almost universally blamed for his "poor" performance.

And maybe the defense not giving up ~250 ypg on the ground?


No one is denying that Harris needs to improve. This article points to the fact that he wasn't as awful as the popular lazy narrative suggests. In fact, he was well on his way to a really good season prior to the Bama game. Was that the result of injury? Maybe. But you can bet your arse it didn't help matters.
