re: Why not give Harris the start v. New Mexico State?

The QB play isn't about who does/doesn't make mistakes. There hasn't been a single game this year that Jennings showed he can win you a game or provide big plays. Even in the Wisconsin game, if it wasn't for Diarse willing himself to the endzone, we lose that game. At some point, the offense can't simply be a unit that doesn't turn the ball over. Seems obvious, but they have to score points. Harris played with the same o-line Jennings did. It doesn't matter that it was against a 3 man rush or against backups, etc. Miss State's backups were better than any of the 3 opponents we faced prior to the game. Harris proved he can move the ball up the field.

I'm not delusional enough to think Harris won't make freshman mistakes during the year if he starts. But he also gives us a chance to make plays that Jennings hasn't proven he can make.
