Who Wins The Quarterback Battle At LSU?

David Ching & Greg Ostendorf with ESPN.com gave their take on the LSU quarterback battle in this SEC Blog article:
Brandon Harris started only one game (At Auburn) in 2014 and finished the season with 452 passing yards with 6 TD's and 2 INT's. He completed 25 of 45.
Here is what coach Les Mile's had to say about the quarterbacks after the teams first spring practice on Saturday, per ESPN:
quote:Anthony Jennings started all but one game in 2014 and finished the season with 1611 passing yards with 11 TD's and 7 INT's. He completed 111 passes with 227 attempts.
LSU:
David Ching: Honestly, I have no idea who will win this competition. I was sure it would eventually be Brandon Harris last fall and was incorrect. Harris is the more intriguing player because we haven’t seen enough of him. Anthony Jennings started 12 of 13 games last season, so we have a better idea of his capabilities and shortcomings. He’s sharp, mature, and seems like the kind of guy you want in your huddle, but Jennings is not as talented as his competitor. LSU’s offense would be more dangerous with Harris under center -- assuming he proves he is mature enough for that responsibility.
Greg Ostendorf: LSU fans are hoping and praying Harris starts next season, but what has he proven? He had a couple good games early against Sam Houston State and New Mexico State last season, but when he got his chance to start an SEC game on the road, he was dreadful. Jennings isn’t spectacular. He probably never will be. But he’s played in big games, made big throws and knows this offense better than any other quarterback on the roster. Les Miles has a tendency to go with experience, and there's no reason that will change this fall.

“We talked about the need and want to throw the football better,” Miles said. “We need not only the quarterbacks to come on, but the receiving corps to come on. I think we’re going to devote a lot of time to it. We’re going to throw the ball, in terms of snaps and percentages of our practices, very significantly, so it’ll be fun. I think we’ll accomplish that.”
