To be fair...we sucked against spread teams, which LSU is not.

OR he's just not confident due to a lack of trust from the coaching staff... just a thought

Um... I'm going to go with the "better defenses" theory. I don't know...because facts and stuff.


Nope.

Ole Miss gave up 440 pass yards (73% 9.8 ypa) and 6 TDs to Allen

Arkansas gave up 500 pass yards (76% 10.2 ypa) 5 TDs, and 46 rush yards 2 TDs to Dak

Good grief, if he was hurt why would you continue to let him play? Face it he is a bad QB.

Parents said he suffered a sprained AC joint and a sprained knee during the Alabama game

I had very high hopes for him. He was pretty bad this month.

IF he was hurt, then CLM has truly lost faith in Jennings.

Using the same reasoning, it is rational speculation that Les Miles had a stroke on the morning of 1/9/12.
The evidence in support is far more dramatic and persuasive.

Oh Jesus here we go again with the "Harris was injured" crap. Same as last year when people said he was injured during Auburn. Let it go man
:smh:

He WAS injured in the Auburn game.

It's also rational to deduce he couldn't handle the better defenses on our schedule.


I'd go a little further. Bama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss all took us out of our game plans and made BH more predictable, thus hindering his effectiveness. In the case of Bama, they stuffed our run due to LM's insistence on running the ball. In the case of Arkansas and Ole Miss, they jumped out to early leads, forcing us to essentially abandon our game plan, thereby putting more onto BH's shoulders. So, it was Bama's great defense more so than the defenses of Arkansas and Ole Miss. Just my $0.02.

While we're at it, what are the chances Keehn has been playing with athlete's foot all year?

Does not explain Texas A&M at all. Does not explain the change in play calling. Does not explain the change in mechanics.

On the other hand, this statement explains his performance, his production, and the play calling in all four games:

If your theory about injury was true,wouldn't it make more sense to claim that he got hurt the game before vs WKU?


If he were injured how great would it be if we had a QB on the roster that was good enough to take a snap in his place? Other teams seem to have backups.

God you guys are pitiful? He was fine. Did you not see him running the whole game?

"plant correctly". I'm not sure how you can type this without laughing.

He's always had a strong arm and little touch. Likewise, last season and this season (pre and post Bama) he's had trouble getting the ball down. Even in HS his accuracy was spotty

That doesn't mean he can't get better. But he had the same issues with accuracy before the Bama game that he had prior. Those problems just became more magnified when the games got bigger and the competition got consistently better. It had nothing to do with a phantom injury

Replay the a&m game and watch each throw. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn.

I dont know about his injury, but my head is still hurting from having to watch that.
