re: Brandon Harris yesterday

I was anxious over the play calls in the state game. Yesterday, we were able to run for over 400 yards. Really, there wasn't much reason to throw. Running is the safer option and it was no challenge for them.
What I think we're seeing is a gentle development of Brandon Harris. He's going to SEE a lot of football, make calls and reads without being asked to do a whole lot in the early going. They're slow playing him and asking him to be a game manager. LSU wins, he makes some throws when he's asked to, scrambles for some firsts etc.
I think as he proves to Les and Cam that he can make those reads and the easy completions and not look overwhelmed, he'll start to get more and more leash in the form of trust from the coaches and they'll let him go with longer passes in addition to what he's already proved he can do. Sure, I'd like them to be a bit more aggressive but I think as we go on, they'll get more comfortable with Harris.

It can be frustrating seeing a guy who has a ton of talent being brought along so slowly. However, I think back to McCarron at Bama. They also slow played his first year. He was a complete non-factor in the first game, and then really hurt us in the BCSNC Game because he developed enough for his coaches to trust him.
I hope it doesn't cost us a game, like it did that Bama team. However, it worked out in the end for them. I think we will see a lot of big passing plays later in the season, as they transition Harris from mere game manager to a first-strike weapon.
