This - IMO Harris is too erratic - he always looks nervous and prone to bad decisions. We'd a lost way earlier in that game w/Harris.

They don't understand the strain that a true running QB puts on a defense. LSU played Hurts perfectly for most if the game with sound edge containment but that open up some lanes in the middle when big Bo Scarborough starting getting good yards. The same could have been true for LSU uf the Bama d had to play the edges.

I'm not trying to "unique"
Just stating a fact, you asked a question and I answered it.

You answered it with your opinion not a fact.

Facts are BH did better against both last year.

We've seen this movie already. It wasn't good the first time.

Harris should have absolutely came in during the 2nd half.

It was obvious to everyone that Etling was not going to get it done.

We put up zero points. We had nothing to lose putting in Harris. I would have given him a shot.

Right....Etling looked decent against the weak stretch of the schedule. Harris is the best option we have. Etling missed three very easy drive extending passes. His play was similar to Trey Quinn's performance against Bama that got him benched.

Nope according to the rant BH would have thrown 10 INT and got sacked 50 times.


Give me a fricking break.

LSUs QB situation is like A Christmas Carol. It's the same plot over and over again with different actors. No matter how you change the look, the ending is still the same.

Until we completely break from the last decade, that's not going to change.

When has Harris ever shown that he's an actual run threat? I can count on one hand how many times he's ever kept the ball on a zone read or scrambled.

He was too busy throwing the toss sweep to LF under Les Miles offense.

A lot had to do with the coaching Cam and Miles gave BH. They were intent on making him and every other DT quarterback we could've had into a pocket passer.

Only the Rant would want to put a QB in vs Bama that played bad...against way worse competition.

Under Miles, you're right. He never ran. But we do know that Harris is really fast. Way faster than Etling

Harris didn't play that bad in Tuscaloosa last year.

Care to elaborate?


DE didn't throw a TD pass against either Auburn or ALabama this year.


BH threw a TD against both last year.
