I was surprised that the two QB's didn't split more of the first half.
I think Miles was trying to show confidence in Harris letting him battle through it. Just like the JJ/JL debates, I'm not sure there is a clear right answer. You'd just hope you have the talent around that neither actually loses a game for us. But with our run D playing so bad, this may be just like 2008.

Too late

it's worse IMO. 2008 offense had a great o line and the offense could score points despite the pick 6 once a game.

I think this is right. Harris' performance in one quarter against MSU and a overmatched NM State team led people to believe that he was going to be the magic bullet. But it's rarely that simple, and if it was, the coaching staff would probably have noticed it first.

Oh I completely agree. Although I do think we should have had a clear plan to give Jennings every third series or so just in case this happened. If Harris is playing lights out the first two series, then maybe you tell Jennings he'll have to wait because you're sticking with the hot hand, but if he's struggling it's perfect for Jennings to come in as planned just to give Harris a drive to talk with the coaches and collect himself.
I wasn't critical of Miles keeping Harris in, but the decision to start him in the first place.
It was asking for trouble in a game like we knew Auburn was going to be, and now we're in a spot where we've possibly benched both as starters. Very tenuous situation imo and one that could have been avoided by starting Jennings, even if just for the first two drives and telling the team Harris is coming in for the third and fourth drives.
Just throwing him in as the clear #1 because he lit up New Mexico State was something I'd only expect from the Rantards on this board.
I love him, but Miles folded and he shouldn't have.
This was just like Saban giving Russell his first start at The Swamp which turned into a disaster because he was ready just because we got embarrassed by a Georgia team that was simply better than us in 2004.
It was an overreaction in 2004, and it was an overreaction last week.
