Definitely wouldn't want to burn scholarships on depth for the most important position in the game when you can use one for a backup kickoff specialist.

I kid... Sorta. The 85 isn't an issue at the moment, the per year limit is though.

Also, qb transfers are a rampant problem affecting everyone. It's not just an LSU thing. It's the reality of today's college football.

Things look promising at the QB position for LSU in the future. I am hopeful that Harris will seize his opportunity this season, then Franks joins the competition next season.

To address a few things said earlier: If Jennings won't play vs. McNeese, which appears a strong possibility, shouldn't McMillan be available for depth purposes? I don't see how you can say for sure that he will be redshirted.

I still remember those days when LSU had two capable QB's available--remember Hodson and Guidry, Bert Jones & Paul Lyons, and the #2 guy got to play a series of two each game. Now, the thinking seems to be we have to develop that chemistry, so we have to stick with just one guy--not sure how or why that changed over the years. I realize that seems to be the thinking in most every program, not just LSU
