Harris is undoubtedly saying the right things this year and its great to hear. However, when it comes down to winning the QB starting spot, he will have to show Les that he isn't as much of a "wild card" as he was last year. Like it or not, he would need to take a page out of Jenning's book by being cautious and throwing the ball away when it isn't there, as Jennings smartly did many times last year. (Maybe too many) Much to the ranters dismay, this is Les Miles football. We ground and pound, and take our chances when the defense dares us.

Let the saga continue! Team Jennings vs Team Harris

This isn't really accurate though. Jennings INT rate was higher than Harris. As bad as Harris was against Auburn, he didn't turn the ball over. Even with Jennings rarely taking a chance, he still turned the ball at a high rate when compared to his attempts. Harris needs to do one thing. Make sure he doesn't turn the wrong way on a handoff. We were not going to be prolific passing wise last year and could not afford to give away an opportunity for LF to get a carry. We were far too inefficient on offense for either QB to give a play away like this. If Harris gets a handle on this, his legs will actually suit him to Miles moreso than Jennings as it is another way to eliminate wasted plays.
