Questions for CLM

Harris had so much momentum coming into the year. Miles and Cam gave him most of the reps with the first team in the spring game and he shined. George Whitfield raved about him. Miles decided to go with Jennings and it seemed like Harris would get PT and be brought along. That all was happening, and Harris started outperforming AJ during the games.

Then Auburn happened. Both quarterbacks played poorly, but since that time it's been the Anthony Jennings show. What happened? Why did we choose to go ultra conservative and play the guy without much upside? When Jennings was benched, he said we would still need both quarterbacks to win. Harris gets one start and now he's out of the mix all together, and Jennings isn't doing anything on the field to justify it.

Exactly! That's my point!

Ugh. I have to explain this to everyone over and over.

Coaches know that Harris is better, but he doesn't know LSU's playbook. In the entire nation, he's the worst QB at calling the play in the huddle and executing a handoff. He's not terrible, just not good enough to play an SEC game. We thought he was, and it got us embarrassed at Auburn. We could have lost that game 100-0.

Jennings studies tape constantly and knows the playbook like the back of his hand. He's not as good, but he runs the offense very well.

Harris is awesome, but is not ready. Jennings is not awesome, but he executes our offense. A QB has to do more than throw.
