I'll just say this...I'm glad Harris will start. But I will need to see two things before I'm a born again, dyed-in-the-wool believer in our offense.

I need to see what happens once SEC play starts. When Les and his team are hunkered down against a quality opponent, will the alleged talk of the Pistol formation and Harris and his ability to throw it be more than just the talk we've heard incessantly each Fall Camp? Talk about everything from JJ9 looks like Montana to Zach Lee may unseat him to 2009's Les comment about, "this will be the best OL we've had since I've been here," type stuff.

In other words, stuff that has no basis in the reality we saw on the field?

Unfortunately, we won't see it vs. McNeese because Les thinks that by somehow locking down the offense he's saving State and Auburn from seeing what we'll do. Which means we won't have as much experience running the entire package since we'll be unfolding it against them for the first time.

Secondly, I want to see what happens once Brandon makes a mistake or forces a throw. What will Les' reaction be. Can he tolerate a kid's inexperience (that Les' largely responsible for anyway) and allow him to work through it and grow from it? We shall see.

Personally, the only way I'd believe if I were an LSU Fan whose kept up with this program under Miles is if I got some sort've smoke signal that Les was completely relinquishing the method he's devised for playcalling and gameplanning and allowing others to take the reigns in that respect.

I have heard of no such thing, so I'll have to see it to believe it.
