re: Mettenberger similar to Harris?

Great arm, great receivers to throw to, and Mett improved tremendously from his junior to senior year. Maybe we'll see this kind of improvement in Harris? I think a lot of people forget just how much offense we lost from 2013 to 2014. I think they also forget how much we bring back this year.

I have to disagree some with this. Met was a fairly polished passer when he came, but still had work to do. Even in his first year, Mett was always reasonably accurate, but he did throw interceptions, and take some sacks. No doubt with experience, dedication, and hard work, he improved leaps and bounds. Harris has the talent, but had further to go as far as footwork, technique, accuracy, reads, progressions, knowing the offense. It appears that Harris has turned that corner, and I expect him to do well. If he puts in the time, before he leaves LSU, he can be better than Mett.
