Attended the scrimmage on Saturday and Harris really struggled out there. He missed wide open receivers, looked very timid in the pocket, and exhibited very poor body language. The pick that he threw in the red zone was horrible. People can blame Miles all they want, but Harris has been his own worst enemy.

Yeah, no chance, too circumspect and overtly biased and unbalanced with no details that correlate with facts.

Jennings fumbled a shotgun snap and that Sione picked up and ran back for a TD, only turnover reported.

Immediately after the scrimmage Miles said it was the "offense's best day", that both of the "2nd year" QBs had developed and picked up the "nuances of the game", making adjustments at the line and calling out blitz packages to the RBs (same thing LF7 said), that it was a competition without separation, and awarded no QB of the Day honors. Harris' upbeat twitter post after the scrimmage was to remind everyone of the next and last scrimmage, the Spring Game. He ran away with it last year, 4 months out of HS: 4 TDs: 3 TDs passing, 1 rushing, top rusher. AJ, two pick six INTs and one passing TD.

This thread is allowed to continue and the OPs post history is blocked from view.

...first thing I noticed as soon as it was posted. This generated 10 pages of mostly off-topic thread hijacking by the usual suspects, made-up QB posts bashing Harris and trying to raise the bar for AJ, the junior, who has improved his running, but is yet to show improved arm talent, ranked last in the SEC and bottom of FBS.

ESPN says Harris is the best LA QB since RP, Named the Louisiana 2013 Class 5A All-State quarterback: Completed 178-of-329 passes for 3,172 yards with 34 touchdowns and 14 interceptions and rushed for 1,048 yards and 15 touchdowns as a senior = LSU 2013 O stats for Mett and Hill. Led Parkway to a 14-1 record and an appearance in the 2013 Class 5A state championship game. He was a 5-star junior, #37 overall, and #1 QB prior to committing early to LSU, which ended his media ratings readership value, and that was prior to his record setting senior year. Huge hands, wrist speed that has been talked about for years, ranked by Whitfield as having the strongest NFL arm he has seen in years. Yes he also threw a 92 mph fastball in HS, 60 mph football. He played football all his life, and was throwing so hard in 9th grade he was injuring the receiver's hands. Being as good or better than Winston, he was the best in Whitfield's elite Shark class which included Petty and Golson. Miles/Cam committed to developing AJ or BH as an elite passer, and have 12 of the best WRs, and a reported goal of 70% completion (Link: does anyone have the link to him saying 70%?), pace, and a balanced run/pass attack with DTQBs, a balanced spread attack with 3+WRs, putting players in space, pace, checkdowns to RBs, and to TEs who can and have caught multiple passes.

The poster did not attend the scrimmage. This is made up player bashing. No pick was reported by anyone, yet "OP analyist" manufactures a terrible pick thrown to an unidentified player, talks shite about Harris that is a complete contradiction of his faith/family/football personal character, personality, interviews, optimism, confidence, strength, and composure on and off the field. He stood up for Jennings after he was booed. The only pick we have "seen" is the video of AJ throwing into double coverage, a less than 35 yd floater to Dural that died 10 yds short, and that was attributed in the press to Harris. Harris, prior to this last scrimmage before the Spring Game had no Ints or turnovers.

The D has been practicing at pace without substitution for HUNH teams we will face most of the year, so by default the O is running faster. This is exactly what Kiffin did to both convert to HUNH offense to tire defenses, "dropped a brick on the accelerator", and forced the D to practice without substitution, a change Chavis and Miles were implementing. After 5 games Saban said ALA had faced only HUNH teams and his defense was prepared and conditioned physically and mentally to make quick adjustments without substitution. Miles has noted pace has helped the O.
