BUT you have to call the right plays early on to get him some confidence.

Start Jenkins and play Harris at least as much.


There is absolutely no upside in starting Jennings. With Harris you have some hope of putting up points.

Harris

Jennings stunk it up at home against NMS, no excuse for that. Harris is the future let him play now and get experience. This season is pretty much sunk. After watching the first six games of the season its obvious that the corrections that need to be made aren't being made by the coaching staff.

Did you just not watch our home games this year?


His problem is trusting his eyes when he sees the open man and letting the ball go, not accuracy. LSU runs the same predictable routes over and over again. Jennings' passess are usually on target (except for screens), it's just that the WR are covered because every route is predictable. Go watch the Wisc. game, most passes were on target, just well defended.

I watched AJ come in and throw a catachable ball on his first three passes. He later threw a nice deep-post to Dural. I don't know if Harris threw one ball that was on target Sat. The one pass that you're hanging your hat on was an underthrown deep ball that Dupree made a nice play to come back to get.

Harris probably gives you a better chance to make something out of nothing, but from play to play I don't see very much accuracy. That was evident even in the spring game.

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


I keep seeing this posted and im not sure why. The offense has at least ine receiver open on every pass play. The qbs arent throwing well, hanging in the pocket, reading defenses well, or staying poised. You can say its the offense or coaching but they're young and need experience to get better.

I think start Jennings.

Once BH learns to step UP in the pocket, like Jennings does, and not take off left or right when the pocket breaks down, he will improve greatly IMO

This team will take its lumps this year and get better. I'm just glad our toughest games are at home. I hope these boys have tough skin for the remainder of the year and learn and grow.

Yeah, now go watch the games against Mississippi St and New Mexico St. Then Google his completion percentage.

Before Auburn, Harris was throwing 73.33% on the year. Compare that with 50.60% for Jenning.

Have you completely forgotten that Jennings has been a statue in the pocket his entire career here? Or how about Harris stepping up in the pocket every other game he has played?

My goodness, the level of stupidity being displayed on this board is mind blowing.

What delusion? What exactly has Jennings done this year since Diarse went beast mode in the Wisconsin game?

Harris can only learn this skill by playing. Look, if Harris is truly our future, play him now so he'll learn these skills before next season.

Throw single coverage passes to Dural vs scrub schools and complete 50% of his throws.
