re: It'll only take ONE game to know what we're in for with Harris.

Its not about the number of throws, it's about the efficiency. Harris main job is to keep the chains moving, convert the 3rd and 8 to 3rd and 4, either with the pass or scrambling to keep the drive alive.
That's what made e 2013 offense so good is we just about led the nation in 3rd down conversions. Mett always found Jarvis for 6, 7, 8 yrds to convert.
Consequently this kept the defense off the field and well rested.
We typically only run between 65-75 plays a game. You know fournette is getting 20+ touches, Guice should get around 10-12, That's almost half your offensive snaps. Harris needs to be around 15-25 for 60% completion percentage.
If we are slining it more than 30 times a game, then we are probably behind in the game

Exactly my point. It's clear to me Les and Cam WANT to have a balanced offense that throws the ball 20-25 times a game but their lack of faith in the QB last year prevented them from doing that out of the gate. If the offense on Saturday resembles the Miss St game last year, rather than, say-the Florida game, it'll mean they still don't think Harris is fully ready to run the offense they want to run.
By contrast, Mettenberger threw 32 passes in game 1 against a good TCU defense in 2013 because the coaches trusted him to do so.
