re: Just watched replay:Harris seemed to miss the play

There was a lot of standing around waiting on the call, shoulder shrugging, looking to the sideline for almost every play, mostly by Jennings because he played more. And in a pre-SEC tune-up game SlowFlowPro had an excellent post about the missed opportunities to run more plays out the shotgun 3 WR set, putting the HB in motion for 4 WR, but only one of the QBs has shown a good touch on the screens and short passes, and it is Harris. It was an opportunity to run some package set plays, and to generate some pace and rhythm with consecutive completions, etc.

Miles has continued to tout the abilities of both QBs and said to an SEC reporter that Harris wins 10 of 10 head to head competitions in practice and he feels he needs more game time to take advantage of the extra skills that he brings. Harris is not just a Game Manager. He has played well in his limited minutes and Miles must be totally committed to bring him along because dual-threat QBs get injured. He has just said he has total confidence in both and will not hesitate to pull AJ if he gets wild. AJ had one of his major deer in the headlights moments, an "Ole-Miss-Mett moment" when he was flushed out of the pocket by 2 ULM rushers and threw wildly not into double coverage but into 4-man coverage: INT. You are picking fly shite out of pepper to rag on Harris and give AJ no criticism for his screens, focusing on one receiver (Mett at Ole Miss), and fumbling the exchange to LF.
That major focus one receiver has become a critical refrain in the media, and Dural will not be covered by SHSU munchkins in the SEC.


As we have only 2 QBs and since dual-threat QBs are more prone to injury, we better hope they are on equal footing. Gus Malzahn echoes the sentiments of every other FBS Div-I school by saying "You can never have enough QBs, every thing on offense begins and ends with them." The other SEC schools avg 5-7 QBs on the roster with a good mix of experienced and Freshmen talent. The JUCO ranks have provided Auburn with Cam Newton and Nick Marshall and LSU with Mett: all worked out well.


Startling Fact: Zero = the number of LSU quarterbacks ranked on the SEC's all-time list of the top 21 QBs with the best winning percentage as starters. Alabama, Florida,
Georgia and Tennessee account for 19 of the QBs.

LSU has notoriously under recruited for the QB spot and hopefully Cam Cameron is going to change that and we finish the season SEC champs, NC champs or at least ranked high enough to attract premium QBs. A progressive offense is the second best recruiting tool to winning. Dual-threat QBs are going to go play for spread option teams and teams that will get them to the NFL. It is a proven fact that a spread option offense is a recruiting tool with HUNH addiing an extra advantage. Cam knows them, is implementing the plays, and not only are they predominating High School Championships, they are in the premier ACC, SEC, Big 12, Pac 10, and Big 10 schools. They are also all over the NFL from the Seahawks implementing Malzahn's plays, to the Saints running 5 WR sets to spread the field.

AJ Throwing into quadruple coverage to close 1st half vs ULM

SEC 2013: LSU vs Ole Miss: Mett throws 3 consecutive endzone INTs to start game by locking on Beckham 3 times in a row. Ole Miss defenders, bigger, high flying, bury Beckham the same way TD Travin will be covered without a short game, spread field, and better utilization of RBs and FBs all within the same play to get Dural and Diarse in man-on-man instead of double or quadruple coverage. Please, no deja vu.
