LSU has a real issue with not using gimme games as a chance to improve weak areas.

Apples and oranges, but this is what I always liked about the way Skip Bertman managed throughout the regular season. He used the entire regular season to groom and develop the players he would need down the road. He often caught a lot of shite for staying with pitchers longer than people thought he should have but he was focused on developing players, not winning every regular season game.

Granted, in baseball, you have a lot more tolerance in terms of losses you can sustain and still be in contention at year's end.

But (getting back to football and your point) we really should be using this weekend's game to give Harris some more meaningful experience. Kid has a LOT of potential.
