re: I've lost hope that Brandon Harris will be our starting QB next year.

Your first mistake is actually putting stock in anything Miles says. Like most coaches, I doubt he enjoys talking to the media, and I doubt even more that he feels he is obligated to give them truthful answers (frankly I tend to agree)

The biggest question for me this offseason is whether or not 2014 will be another "watershed" moment for the program. I think most would agree that LSU's offensive approach drastically changed following the 7-5 2008 season. 2014's 8-4 is the second worst record under Miles in his 10 years here. While the defense struggled early, I think most of the blame/reason for the 4 losses lies at the feet of an inept offense. Does Miles and co. change their approach on offense again like they did following 2008? Is finishing 5th of 7 teams in the SECW (AU holds the tiebreaker) enough to force Miles to "evolve"? We saw a few new wrinkles in the offense against A&M which clearly led to one of the better offensive performances of the year. Can we expect (hope?) that was the beginning of a "new" LSU offense?
