Say what now? How would that move differentiate Miles from nearly ever other experienced football coach? That is, going with a guy that has at least one collegiate start and one full season in your program to start the first game of the season instead of a true freshman who this time last year was in high school?
I think Harris, eventually, takes over...but this is the safe move that almost EVERY coach in the country would make. For frick's sake...Saban continued to play Randall when it was apparent to all that Russell was the future and had already demonstrated his ability in his second half and eventual OT victory over OSU in 2004. And when the local paper ran an online fan poll asking fans which guy they thought should start, Saban ripped the media a new a-hole for even asking...and fans defended Saban.
Going with the older guy, at least to start, is not exactly something specific to Les Miles.

Somewhere along the lines of all of this, right chyea.

Marcus Randall started every game in 2002 after game 7. He was the QB in the Bluegrass Miracle game remember? Then he played in quite a few games in 2003. In 2004 he was a 5th year senior.
Jamarcus was a RS frosh.
How in the world can you compare a 5th year senior with 6 starts and a lot of playing time outside of that to a player that started 1 game and had a few snaps outside of that?

Well said. Worked out pretty well for A&M last night.

This is all you needed to say.

Can this just be stickied......or put somewhere where it doesn't have to be typed out all the time. Especially on the Scoreboard if Jennings first pass isn't a 75 yard TD.

Did you even watch the LSU/Auburn game in 2004? The one where Marcus Randall looked like Joe-Effing-Montana leading us down the field to open the game on a 15 play Touchdown Drive?
Russell demonstrated potential, but to say after watching that that Russell deserved to be inserted-which he was, since Saban was so dogmatically rigid and had only planned to play Randall the first 15 plays before inserting JR, as opposed to going with the OBVIOUSLY hot hand in Randall-is pure idiocy on your part.
Reading this nugget buried in the first page of this thread sort've sealed for me the lack of a need to read through the rest of it, because I doubt the level of discourse improved much from this mental flatulence you keyboarded out for us all to read and wince at.
