It really doesn't matter which one starts because neither is going to have great success in Miles' offensive approach.

That said, I've always felt Jennings is clearly the more accurate of the two and at least gives his guys a chance to catch the ball. Harris gives you more of an opportunity to create something big out of a broken play, but IMO it's hard to rely on him to string together completions against a sold D (which UF certainly has)

IMO I start Jennings, then bring Harris in mid 2nd quarter after the D establishes a few tendencies....set Harris up to get some rhythm.

Unless Jennings is spot on and our offense is moving the ball and in good field position, I just don't anticipate it

Jennings has never started a true away game. I'm willing to bet he comes out playing better than harris did.

You said he looked good throwing on the run. Many of his passes against Auburn were thrown on the run. Most of these passes were absolutely fricking horrible.

I'm willing to bet Harris would have come out better against NMSU at home than Jennings did.

Harris has More Upside and Downside !!!

Start Jenkins and play Harris at least as much....until
either becomes the #1 Choice.

Can't see 3 SEC Wins wins with either as primary QB.

he does...on designed waggles and boots...big difference compared to scrambling....routes are different for one.

scrambles

I guess you don't understand how sprinting him out by design can be helpful to him. It limits his reads and gets him in space. If the throw isn't there he can take off. I could be wrong but I sure would like to see the staff give it a shot. It just could work...better than using a dual threat qb as a dropback passer.

I'm amazed that this guy doesn't understand the difference.

Harris is obviously the better choice, BUT you have to call the right plays early on to get him some confidence. Once this kid gets rolling, it's on. But our coaching staff is............well you know.

I say we engage Tank mode and go with Kragthorpe the rest of the season.
