And his replacement was given a chance. While Harris was hurt, it is completely understandable as to why he didn't play. His ankle was well enough to take some snaps, he should have been given more opportunities down the road. Like against Kentucky, like Arkansas and easily against notre dame. No excuses for him not getting more PT

Just stop. Les, like all coaches, wants one guy to step up and be the quarterback. And for at least one week, that guy was Harris.

Harris failed. So they went with the guy who would do the least damage to the team and they did alright.

Absolutely true. Glad to see you finally admit it.

And he did. He took snaps against Kentucky and Alabama. HOWEVER, he was too hurt to take more snaps.

Uhhh . . . his performance in that game was the worst QB Rating of the 2014 season.

Well except that you admit:

So maybe he was too hurt to get more playing time. Maybe he tweaked it against Kentucky or Alabama. Maybe the coaching staff wanted the damn thing to heal properly.
