Brian Griese Predicts LSU's Finish

ESPN analyst Brian Griese was on SportsCenter today and spent some time talking about the tough competition amongst the SEC West. When asked how he thinks the 15th-ranked LSU Tigers will end up in the Western Division, Griese wasn't too optimistic.

"Right now, I think they finish last,” Griese said. "Honestly. You look at Arkansas, and Arkansas is much better. Ole Miss and Mississippi State, Mississippi State crushed LSU at home. It was 34-10 at the start of the fourth quarter. People look at the box score, but really that game was nowhere near what it ended up being."

"You look at the schedule, at Auburn and at Florida, then you have Ole Miss and Alabama, and those last two games (Arkansas and Texas A&M), you tell me where they are going to get three or four wins on that schedule."

When asked about Les Miles starting freshman Brandon Harris at quarterback, Greise liked the decision, but doesn't think it's a great situation:

"I don’t like the situation, but I think it’s the right decision for Les Miles,” he said. "Brandon Harris is a playmaker. He throws the ball better than Anthony Jennings. We’ve seen Anthony Jennings struggle in the passing game. This is the future at quarterback for LSU, and I think the time is now to start to give him some experience.”
