Les Miles when asked about the QB competition so far

@CodyWorsham: Les Miles on LSU's spring quarterback battle: "Anthony Jennings probably has performed better on more days."

We are going to be playing some bad football this fall.

Don't belueve anything that man says

Not until after the spring game and fall practice will I truly begin to give a crap about this.

If Miles is happy with a guy completing 48% of his passes for 90 ypg, then we will be getting a new coach soon or Harris is truly horrible.

Either way, no reason to worry

Spring game will tell me all I need to know about who has performed better on more days.

It's well established that Miles wants the person who can run the mickey mouse offense the best as opposed to tailoring the offense to the players

The rest of the quote.

Jennings completed 9 of 14 passes, according to Les Miles, for 200 yards and two scores, with two additional touchdowns in red zone work. Brandon Harris completed "a handful” of his 22 attempts, which Miles later clarified as "10 or 12.”

"I’ve got big hands,” he joked.

Miles talked at length about his quarterbacks, giving as close to a definitive statement on the position as he has all spring.

"Anthony Jennings probably has performed better on more days,” Miles said, "and other days it’s been Brandon Harris.”

"It’s year two,” he added. "We expect more out of them and expect them to not only execute the offense, but to also give us experience at the play caller and understand where we want to go and what we’re supposed to do. It’s heighted expectation.”

Setting a goal of completing 70 percent of the team’s passes, Miles noted that while Jennings has had the edge on more days, he’s not seeing enough separation between the two for his liking.

"I already know they’re better than they were last year,” he said. "To find a real quality quarterback and to have separation from one to the other, that’s what I’m looking for. I’m not necessarily seeing that.”

Other notes as well.

Miles said about half the scrimmage was spent inside the 20s working on tight zone situations. There was also some kickoff, kickoff return, and punt work.
Maquedius Bain is an early lock to start at defensive end. Miles named Lewis Neal as the likely second starter, with Clark and Teuhema in the mix, as well.
Duke Riley led all tacklers, though Miles didn't give a number. Tied for second were Jamal Adams, Jones, and Teuhema, all with six stops. Miles added that "Kendell Beckwith made some real significant speed plays defending the pass and getting to runs."
At the defensive tackle spot, Miles said Davon Godchaux and Christian LaCouture are entrenched as starters. Greg Gilmore is the early favorite as the No. 3 DT, with Frank Herron and Trey Lealaimatafao next in line

1. It's March. There isn't a game scheduled for another 5+ months

2. Miles has been here for 10+ years and you idiots still believe everything he says as the absolute truth. How many times has he said something to the media that turned out to be completely untrue? Remember how Frank Herron was a "beast" going into the season last year? He really looked like it on the field last season, didn't he? Remember when the 2008 OL was supposed to be one of the best ever?, etc., etc..

3. Maybe, just maybe, Harris is in fact, not the three time All American everyone here thinks he is. Miles has shown that they run a certain offense and that whoever the QB is has to be able to execute THAT offense. Harris may be the better talent overall, but for better or worse, Jennings may be who Miles/Cameron feels executes THEIR offense better
