re: For those saying let Harris start and take his lumps

AJ should have started at Auburn...period. Judging what BH might be able to do off that one game is ludicrous. He should have gotten a start....at home...against one of the patsies. That way he could have floundered a bit and not really hurt our chances to win in the end.
Not letting him play at all now is total BS and is wholly on Miles.

Sometimes I'm right with you, and then sometimes I think you're insane.

Against Mississippi St. and NMSU, Jennings was the one who floundered after getting the start. He also showed he was a turnover risk (which had been the disqualification for Harris). Against MSU, he did "really hurt our chances to win in the end." It did make sense to give Harris the start. I thought he should have started against NMSU, but before the Auburn game, we couldn't go back in time.

The difference was when Harris was in those earlier games, we weren't shy about calling some creative plays that were more based around running and moving around rather than choosing between I formation and pocket passing. I think having a Jennings game plan with Harris was more of a factor in making him uncomfortable than it being at Auburn.
