I think, and so does every analyst I have heard talk about this game, that Harris needs to play significant playing time in this game as he can hit intermediate passes, and is better instinctive decision maker than Jennings. and that Jennings need to have green light to run the damn ball a lot when Ole Miss over pursues, or how about a play action pass on 1st down, etc.

What are the realistic chances of Les doing either of these things? I am guessing 10%.

100%

I can all but promise at least one designed running will be called....Now, O/U at 5 carries and I'd probably take the under

Chance that Harris plays? 0%

Chance that Jennings has run plays? 100%

Jennings had 40 yards rushing on seven carries against Kentucky.

The only way Harris plays is if Jenkins throws a hand full of pick-6's, and then I doubt He would see any significant time.

I believe jennings will play the whole game unless he's playing terrible ala New Mexico State or he is injured

Just the honest truth and I hope jennings is prepared to throw the ball. if they are stuffing the run we will need his arm to win

If Harris is in the game, it means something has gone terribly wrong, i.e., Jennings got hurt or we are down by a lot.

To who? The people on the sidelines? Every intermediate pass he threw against AU was 3 feet over the receiver's head or behind him. Unless I guess if you consider passes 2 yards beyond the LOS or 50+ yards downfield to be "intermediate" passes

and not a single one of y'all, including the analyst that likely know even less than you, have been to a practice and seen what kind of command Harris has of the offense. You talk about intermediate passes. He was roughly about 10ft off on those passes against auburn, and didn't know the plays. Maybe he plays, who knows....but I'm going to take the decision of the guy that has won over 80% of his games over that last 9 years and watches them everyday in practice....compared to a guy that has no clue what goes on in practice.

You and whatever analysts you are listening to are complete morons.

If Harris plays, we are in trouble.

Did anyone watch the Auburn game? Harris could not hit the side of a barn from the inside. I know it was his first start and he was nervous and excited but shite. What have we sceen when he was in games that makes you think he can come in and play right now?

Jennings will need to break off some good runs.

I think Miles will have packages for Harris and he will play.

We throw it 20 times a game, I would imagine we throw it on first about 4-5 times a game. I guarantee that we go play action on over half of those.

Geesh.

Jennings has the green light to not get sacked and run the read option. I don't really know what the frick we want to see him do.

We run it 50 times a game and throw it 18-20....IF we are doing well offensively. AJ having the ball in his hands and making all the difference only occurs on a handful of plays a damn night. The same for BH.

Yet 70% of this Godforsaken board talks about who the QB is like it matters.

You think miles is gonna bench Jennings if he runs effectively? He has the green light he just doesn't always do it.
