I think it will be similar to the Hatch, Lee, Jefferson year.

Jennings will start against Wisconsin because of his prior game experience because that's how Miles operates.

Harris will play in the first game.

Would not rule out Rettig getting some time at some point especially with two mobile QB's which leads to potential injury.

I'd bet on this. They are going to scrutinize Harris more than Jennings. Its just the way it is. Jennings has been on the team, he's played meaningful snaps, he's gonna start day 1. Harris will have his shot. Hopefully, the best player will play shortly after the beginning of the opener.

I think having 2 QB's is an advantage. About 15 years ago ,LSU used 2 QB's. One played a series in the 2nd Q'ter and again in the 3rd. By the 8th game he had 16 series in a game situation. Due to injury the 2nd guy had to play and was ready, we didn't miss a beat. That's what we could have again. Good security. I don't remember the names, but, saw some of the games live then.

If that's true, then why did Jennings start the spring scrimmage last yr and was the back up QB all yr over a more experienced guy?

Whatever the call turns out to be, I believe Cam will pick who he sees as giving LSU the best chance for success.

I really don't understand the rush some feel to call who starts. There is a lot of time between now and Sept. Also, if we have to go with a green starter, its pretty sweet for LSU to have what seems to be two talented ones.
