Jennings has made some good passes here and there this season so far. I think the pressure of the first SEC game, and trying to produce a comeback got to him. Harris is more talented than Jennings, but Jennings is still much better than JJ. He won't be great, but he will be good enough to keep offenses honest of our passing game


Harris can throw the ball harder than Jennings and is probably a little faster. That's all we really know. I'm not ready to anoint him the second coming based upon what he did in garbage time against a purposely soft MSU defense.

AJ is inexperienced. The coaches aren't going to ask him to go through 3-4 progressions on a play. Guess what? They wouldn't do the same for Harris either. That said, LSU does its starting QB no favors with their passing philosophy. It's seems like 85% of the pass plays are 2 man routes designed to go deep. By design, the QB is forced to hold the ball longer. Couple that with an OL that can't hold blocks, and you've got a recipe for disaster. I don't think Harris would fare much better in that scenario.
