Miles isn't going to say Harris sucks. Harris has talent but most true freshman don't play well their first road game anyway. The fact he started that game at all was because Jennings was clearly struggling and Harris wasn't far behind him as a true freshman

Jennings' performance the week before was about as bad as a QB can play. Just awful - and against New Mother fricking Mexico State! Miles had no choice but to play Harris after he came into that game and lit it up, and made it close the week before.

To me that tells me that before MSU/NMSU, Miles truly believed that Jennings was his guy, and he never contemplated the possibility that Harris would be needed for the long term.

I really like Miles, but he gets tunnel vision when it comes to QBs. If it doesn't come naturally, he doesn't adjust like he should. And then he compounded the problem by yanking Harris when he should have bit the bullet and rode him the rest of the year.
