re: Brandon Harris' Greatest Game as a Tiger

I agree that the MSU game looked impressive, but you have to realize a couple things.

One is that MSU got a big lead and essentially stopped playing in the second half. They went very soft on defense and completely conservative on offense. I said at the time that Mullen shut it down way too early and let us back in the game. That softness obviously helped Harris.

Second - since we were so far behind, Harris had no pressure and got the green light to just start slinging, and he did well.

So that game was a unique situation, and although he did well, it gave a false impression of what he could really do as a QB.
