Auburn's First Series Strategy: Play the run, Play the pass, or intermediate?

It's a tough call for Auburn at this point. Do they blitz the Freshman QB expecting him to throw because its unexpected strategy, but risk that he is so good even as a freshman he will burn Auburn right away? Do they count on LSU trying to establish the run first, like is their propensity, and stack the box? Or do they play conservatively?

My prediction, Harris rolls out to the right and catches a wide receiver in stride on the money for 40 yards. Auburn is on its heels for the rest of the game. If he misses or the receiver drops or its well defended, do it again. Three straight passes for LSU's first series. I think Harris will either make the throws or get a first down scrambling. Then on 1st and 10, throw again. Then the next play, fake to Fournette, then throw to him out of the backfield for a touchdown. Auburn will be toast from that point forward in the game.

I'm changing the text right here to see if anyone is actually reading this thread.

I'd say with the last ten years of Miles as the sample, all signs point to this.
