It would have been nice to see Harris at least one series a game this year. Didn't Flynn always get a series when behind Russell?

Time for Harris to step the hell up and seize control. If he can't beat Jennings out still, then the guy just doesn't have it.

Can't wait to hear propaganda from the football ops building regarding the new and improved Anthony Jennings!

It's a forgone conclusion. Jennings will start.

Jennings seems like a good kid but he doesn't have the physical tools to be a SEC QB. He probably would have been a decent QB at Ball State or ULL. If he starts again we will be 8-4 or 7-5 again in 2015.

Ya know, it's obviously impossible to argue with Miles if he actually has a QB competition this spring. There SHOULD be one! It also is telling. It says that Miles believes BH is at the least, legit competition for AJ meaning Miles himself doesn't see a real gap between the two even NOW!!!

But, like so many things Miles, it absolutely boggles the mind that he can think this on Jan 1st but not have planned to get BH reps in a meaningless bowl game.

And, it boggles the mind how, if you think your Freshman may be the guy next year and you've already burned his redshirt, you don't absolutely FORCE opportunities for him to get in after the AU game.

ESPECIALLY once we were out of the SEC running. Watching that complete abortion of the Arkansas game and not getting BH in was pure incompetence. I know the pumpers hate that when I say it about Miles, but really, some things he does just are flat out incompetence.

I can think of no other coach I've seen in my entire life who, if he believed the backup was legit competition and his starter was abysmal doesn't get the backup some reps. It is absolutely inexplicable.

"After a very competitive spring where both guys, you know, just gave it their all and competed like hell, we've chosen Anthony to be the starter this year. We think, you know, that he's the guy who gives us the best chance, and we look forward a strong showing in his second season as starter. In the end, certainly his experience, we thought, was what made the difference."

I don't care who the starter is the backup should always play when the starter is off or the outcome of the game is no longer in doubt. This is Miles' major flaw.

" I think that both quarterbacks are quality young men, they both competed very hard this spring and are tremendously improved. However our starting quarterback will be anthony Jennings for this season" and then after miles says that he will laugh and give the fans his middle finger lol

No one believes a word of that self serving quote from Les. Its obvious that was designed more to deflect criticism of 2014 than instill hope for 2014.

If anyone thinks that their will be a competition for the starting job, they don't know Les. How many times will you believe the same lie?

Harris needs to go to humility charm school. Miles need to see him be a "Yes Sir" all the time guy. Work his tail off and submit to Miles' way. This is how he will see the field.

I can't get myself to believe Les any longer. He has said too many things that were outright untrue. If Harris wins this job, he will need to blow Jennings completely out of the water. If it's close in Miles eyes, it's Jennings.

I'll be reporting in with scrimmage info as it happens. Just like I did this year when I said based on my observations AJ would get 75% of snaps. It's all on Harris he needs to become a student of the game and grow up . Should be fun

Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Harris the better QB coming out of the spring game and Jennings was still the starter, day 1?

I'm not sure this spring will yield any different results, even though we all know the QB with the higher ceiling should play.
