Miles' remark during ESPN post-game interview about Harris...
Posted on 9/13/15 at 1:26 pm

When questioned about Harris' play throughout the game, Les said something to the effect that Harris made a couple of mistakes but otherwise looked pretty good.
My question is, what fricking mistakes could Miles possibly be referring to? In relation to Harris' lack of real-game experience throughout his young career, I thought he made excellent decisions time after time throughout the course of the game.

Throwing him under the bus trying to cover his own faults.

I don't think he meant anything by it. Miles gets lost during interviews and usually makes no sense at all so you have to just remember that.

A couple times he could have kept the read option.

Since you obviously have an in depth understanding of the specific game plan and have been to every practice and scrimmage, have been in all team meeting, it is a legitimate question.
Absent that, your question is just plain stupid. I am confident that there is a lot in this world that you don't understand.

Nobody plays a perfect game. A coach will always point out things a player could have done better, that's a coach's job.
BH overthrew Dupree in the first half, and Dupree bailed him out by going up and making a great catch. He threw to Dural deep in double coverage in the second half, and it could have been intercepted. almost threw the ball up for grabs as he was getting sacked another time. He played very well, but there's room for improvement. If he had thrown for 400 yards and five TD's, there's always room for improvement, and I expect Miles and Cameron to focus on that and help him work toward it.

That is why you a fan and not the head coach of an SEC team. There were a few overthrown balls and some plays where he held the ball too long. There weren't many but there were a few mistakes so Miles was correct.

Harris is told to do something and doesn't do it right or makes another decision, Miles may be referring to something that's not obvious to us.
The post game comment I got a laugh about that Miles made in reference to Dak Prescott, "....we've played against him for six straight years now, he knows how to play...". It was something to that effect.

You must have access LSU's playbook to be so sure of your self!

Hadn't seen that. The Hat

For those disagreeing with me, do you feel that Miles makes sense in his interviews and gives meaningful answers? I've heard Miles say he thought we had good balance when we've had 70-30 pass-to-run ratios and I've heard him say a team had a lot of football left to play when all they had left was the bowl game.

Twice he was lining guys up incorrectly but please let's not let that get in the way of any criticism about Harris.
I'm glad harris is playing but if you are going to be butt hurt about a coach saying there are things to work on, I suggest you quit following sports because every coach says this.

I will grant you that one.
However, why the hell are we we even running the zone-read as part of this supposed pro-style/Bo Schembechler/whatever you want to call our offensive philosophy?
I understand how it is complimentary to our zone blocking scheme, but it doesn't seem like anyone on our offensive staff is highly qualified in effectively instructing how to execute the zone-read. I associate read option plays more with spread attacks, which we are definitely not.
Still, I will agree with you that if those were indeed read plays and not designed handoffs than Harris' decision-making wasn't always crispy.
However, as a passer he was very impressive.

Argumentum ad hominem...very nice.
What concrete evidence can you provide that Harris' decision making was sub-par and detrimental in any manner to the offense's success?

I will take overthrows over underthrows any day of the week.
Only one of those passes (the 4th quarter pass to Dupre with the safety coming over the top) was truly a risky attempt. I attribute that more to frustration on the part of Harris for being handcuffed throughout most of the game rather than simply a bad decision.
I'm willing to bet that he simply wanted to make the play to end the game right then and there. He trusts his receiver to make a play and therefore threw the ball up just to see what might happen.

Well nobody, including Miles, said this about Harris. Your comprehension of context is sub-par and detrimental to your success of understanding things.
If you want to be technical, I see 5 mistakes Harris made just by looking at the top line of his stat sheet. That's assuming you don't believe a pass play is ever designed to yield an incomplete pass.

Way more than a couple of times. It was there all night after giving it 20 times. He'll learn
