I say in this bowl game go out and let Harris throw it 30 times or more just let it rip and try to run the score up. Fournette doesn't need any unnecessary pounding. Just keep him healthy and let's see what our receivers can do when Harris let's it rip. anyone agree?

Sounds good to me. I'll call Miles and let him know.

I have a better idea: Let Tyron Johnson run the wishbone.

he does need to get some kind of confidence back, but still can't understand why not run the read option more, just baffles me!

The myth that Les doesn't like to throw the ball needs to stop. Yes the offense doesn't have passing creativity but they do throw the ball.

What in the last 4 games makes you believe Harris throwing will lead to more scores?

He has a whole offseason to recover.

If Harris throws the ball 30 times, then he will complete about 12 of those throws. That will not run up the score on any team.

Harris threw it 21 times with only 7 completions... so you want only 2 more completions exhausting 10 more plays.

As bad as he was against ATM, we might not throw 10 passes in the bowl game.

He's got a strong arm but the touch isn't there. That only comes with practice and it's not going to magically before the bowl.

Under Miles this statement has never happened. Not once.

How many of those throws were short, safe throws?

I would hope the 'open up the passing attack' is more than just throwing more of the same routes that weren't / aren't working up to this point in the season.
