There is a distinct difference here! Let BH paly, not saying he should be the starter. They can't hold the Auburn start against him forever, Jennings has had some pretty terrible performances and still playing. Absolutely no way Harris can be any worse.

Well, in looking at the stats you posted it does appear that Harris can be worse. In no game has Jennings completed less than 30% of his passes (not that that is some great accomplishment). In 2.5 quarters at AU Harris was absolutely awful. He did not know what play to run on numerous occasions. He left the pocket several times when there was no rush, and the vast majority of his passes were not even close to catchable. He led LSU to nine 3&outs that game.
To compare, a true Fr. making just his second real appearance this year just absolutely ripped their defense at AU. What's the difference? A&M allows and wants their QB to be a playmaker (even if it sometimes leads to TOs and bad plays). LSU wants to do everything possible to "hide" their QB. They are so afraid that their QB will make a mistake that they are willing to forego trying to make plays through the air because of it.

I'm not saying Harris can't be a great, or even just good QB. But to definitively say playing him will be the difference in this offense going from putrid to great is laughable. LSU plays basically like a triple option team. They would prefer to run the ball 75% of the time only using the pass when they have to (3rd down) or to try to surprise a defense with a big play. It will be the same approach with Harris in.
