re: Who will make the call on the starting QB for Wisconsin?

Don't you know that true freshmen aren't allowed to have bad games? ESPECIALLY if it's in his first career start after being a backup all year, on a wet field, against a top-10 (statistically) defense. Unacceptable.

Agree here.

The only way Harris comes in is if Jennings throws like two pick sixes and we are down by 20. Miles will stick with Jennings as much as he can to give him the experience Miles NEEDS..

This is actually an easy answer.
If the rant disagrees with the starter it was Miles. If they agree with the decision then it was Cameron.

You appear to be somewhat of a Jennings apologist.
If Harris get's the start, and fails, I see you coming on here with lot's of "I told yall" bs...
Are you a LSU fan, or a AJ fan?

The latter. I'd put a hell of a lot of money on it.
There is no QB controversy. Yet.

that's what has cracked me up with the pundits mention a controversy. It's a battle, there can't really be a controversy before a game has been played.
It really doesn't matter to me, but assuming they're pretty close I'd give Jennings the first snaps. You'd like a true freshman to get the feel of the game/environment on the sidelines for a couple of series.

Yeah, I kind of got a kick out of people being pissed that the SEC Network wasn't spending a lot of time discussing the LSU QB situation. Probably because the challenger is a true frosh who will get time, but not the first snap.
I think Jennings will get his chance to make it his team. I'm sure at some point there will be a controversy though.

What does this even mean? Jennings apologist? He's a 19-year old kid that plays for my favorite sports team which happens to represent my alma mater. I want him and everyone else on the team to succeed. Zero exceptions.

Considering I'm not 12 and don't want LSU or any of our players to fail at anything... No, this won't happen. If Harris starts and does well I'll be fricking elated. Same goes for Jennings. Or Jared Foster or Brad Kragthorpe. See how this works?

"lsu2006"
But, I guess both? He seems like a good dude. Same for Harris.

I have complete faith in CC to make that decision.
But where I disagree is that AJ starting one game thusfar gives him that decided of a 'experience' advantage over Harris. I think it's laughable to be honest.
Just put the best QB on the field, whether it's a guy with 1 start, or a guy with 0 starts.

Probably more along the lines of having a year in the Miles/Cameron system.

Les has put together a top notch staff, let them do what they were hired to do.
Have we ever had any evidence that he doesnt? It's funny how we like to bash miles and the offense but when the defense allows a qb to go 30-39 and over 340yds we yet again revert to miles as the failure. which i think he completely deserves, but then again win the team wins it's because chavis or cam.
The Head guy makes decisions based on input from the position coaches that see and have meetings with these players every day.

This is what he's been since 2005. Nothing has changed.

Yeah, let's forget the whole season of experience Jennings gained being the back up QB for 12 games.
Now, that is laughable!

While I love me some Les Miles, your assertion simply isn't true. He's considered a joke of a HC throughout much of the rest of the country because of his many questionable decisions in crunch time and for just him being Les. I don't agree with this perception but it's nevertheless out there.
For once, he has the coaching staff to complement him and what he does best, recruiting and CEO of LSU football.
I couldn't disagree more with your assertion that's the way it's been since 2005.
Had Les not started changing his ways a few years back, there is a good chance LSU would've moved on without him.
Les Miles has shown more and more over the years an ability to change with the times.

Let's also not forget his performance in his 1 start either.
You can't have both ways.
Posted on 8/19/14 at 8:10 pm to SouthdownsTiger
I expect if jennings plays like he did in the spring game/iowa, he won't be the "starter" for very long.
"short leash" in other words...

I don't give a shite who starts, but you are making no sense. His 1st start was against a top 10 defense in the rain and we won the game. You see that as a negative?
Jennings has 12 games as the back up, won the Arkansas game, started a bowl game against a top 10 defense that we won. Harris has a practice game performance and what?
To act as if Jennings has no significant experience advantage over Harris makes no sense.
