At the ULL game last weekend, I happened to be sitting behind one of the backup LSU guards. Not giving his name so don't ask. Had a very nice talk with him about Tiger Stadium, Les, the other coaches and players.

He loves him some Jamal Adams btw. Can't wait to watch him grow.

Sad for D Thomas.

Fournette is a grown man (we know)

Coach Miles is like a father.

Still upset about the 2011 defense up and leaving.

Harris vs Jennings: Harris can throw it the entire field and is super talented (we all know this) but he doesn't put in the work that AJ does in the film room. He said not a day goes by that he's not in the film room or working with WR's. I told him that it wasn't showing and he just kind of put his head down and said "I know. It's frustrating at times but we're still so young you know?" I basically asked if Miles showed favoritism and he said "not at all. He wants them to compete every week and get better. Jennings has great practices and just never leaves the film room. He's trying to be a student of the game, but Harris is on his heels."

Believe me or not.

Those weren't the answers about the QB position I wanted to hear. Hopefully Jennings can figure it out or Harris grows just a little more and takes it from him. I'd prefer the latter.

I could definitely believe this. If Harris busts arse this offseason he will start. Les doesn't want his QB to suck despite what a lot of people say

When I want Predator killed, I don't call an intelligence analyst out of the office to get the job done.

I call Arnold fricking Schwarzzennegger.

Period.

More often than not, Harris has looked very lost this season.

What are they doing then, just practicing how to down field block and how to hand off the ball?

I hate to sound like a bitch, but its so frustrating when he looks like he has no idea what is going on and just stares down his receivers like he does.

I know some coaches who are currently at LSU and some who were there when JJ was the QB. Coach ?? kept trying to get JJ in the film room to no avail. He says JJ had NFL ability but wouldn't put in the work to get better and grow. Let's hope that BH isn't this type of player. There are tons of guys who have God-given talent but don't enhance it with good hard work and effort.

Somehow I think this is going to work itself out just fine.

I do know one thing. I can't take much more of Bama beating LSU year after year...

it sounds like Jennings has better work ethic on and off the field, but Harris is more talented.

that sounds about right.

AJ busts his butt and still does not have it. Yet CLM plays him because he puts in the work.

While I appreciate his effort, the better player, not the hardest working one should be playing.

Bottom Line It doesn't matter how much film Jennings studies HARRIS is the better QB and should be playing.

It's just kinda funny how Jennings always has perfect practices, but he never translates that to the games. Weird.

My thoughts have been MAJOR.. But my work ethic has been average. Won't see my results that way. Time to go harder.


That's from Harris' twitter. It sounds like he's admitting what his teammate told you.

Its crazy how much you hear Jennings is a student of the game, and you believe it, but you don't see anythgin that shows it.

He locks onto receivers, he doesn't go through his progressions.
He can throw about 5 yards, and he can chuck it up and hope for a receiver to get it, anything else is pretty rough.

Rudy Ruettiger was a student of the game and had all the heart in the world but that didn't mean he should have started.

Which of our qbs has the most upside? I think we all can agree Harris does? It's time for Harris to take over.

I'm not doubting your conversation, I just find this hard to believe. Harris seems to portay that he is preparing himself. If what he said is true, then I can only blame Harris for not getting himself ready, which is just dumb considering how much he has gained on Jennings already. The fact that he has seen the field and even started a game this season proves how close the competition is between the two. If he isn't putting in the extra time, then shame on him.
