Because Miles is a stubborn old man.

B1G Blockhead-itis; thinks he's Bo Schembechler and we're back in the 1970s.

I doubt there is only one reason. But I'm sure extreme youth and inexperience in the system are up there. Doubt they wanted to throw him to the wolves this early.

Because he can't execute dive plays consistently enough

Prolly didn't want to throw a true freshman to the wolves again. The J Lee stuff changed him and made him way more tentative with QB's.

...because he's not ready.

But, he still needs to play based on what we are not getting out of Jennings.

Harris would have been eaten alive by States starting D.... I trust Cam and he prolly knows more, since he's a at practice and all :/ after coaching in the NFL, you kinda get the feel of who's got it and who don't...

I haven't been to any of the practices, but he probably thought AJ would not be as likely to turn it over, even though it was AJ's first SEC start. Manage the game without mistakes! That's what I think Les thought. Think he is shocked that OLine can't get the job done. Probably had good practices last week and thought the OLine was going to come out strong with full stadium behind them. Didn't happen! Harris certainly did well against 3 man rush. See a lot of potential with both QBs and will pull for each of them. Long season, so will definitely need 'em both.
Schedule actually works out well to work on some adjustments this week, before they hit the Plains of Auburn.

A) I haven't seen him out of pads, but recall reports he needs Moffitizing before exposed to SEC D consistently.
Cam/Miles might not want his shiny new toy in the body shop before getting it broke in.

B) By firsthand account, he definitely didn't look mentally ready vs ULM and figure Cam/Miles et al saw it as well.

C) What we saw looked juicy vs #2s and off coverages, even cover4.
Possibly the performance is different at practice under heavy rush.

I don't claim fact to any but B.

The qb situation this year reminds me of 2004. Jennings plays the role of Randall and Harris plays the role of Russell. Granted, Randall was a SR. and had a good part of 2002 as experience. But still, even with that you couldn't tell he was further progressed than Russell that year, even with experience. That's the way I feel about Jennings and Harris.

In a 1970's offense you never pull your starting quarterback unless he is injured.

He's better when the opposing defense is in soft coverage.
