This is a dumb question. No one at LSU should redshirt unless it is a off/def lineman, who sometimes need time to get bigger. Skill players will not stay in college 5 years at LSU.
um pretty much all of LSU's late qbs stay until they graduate

There are a lot of pronouncements in this thread that are not fact based.
I'm not 100% sure the QB competition is decided for this year. Jennings looked good; Harris looked nervous, but it's a tiny sample size. It was Harris's first college game. He's a true frosh. Let's see what happens in his next game.
I'm not sure that Harris has more talent. Assuming that Harris has greater arm strength, that doesn't make him the better QB. There have been some amazing college QBs who lacked arm strength. Some have won the Heisman.
Harris is very new to the system. He has not been Moffitized at all. I suspect that he is not completely comfortable in his position yet. A year in the system might make a huge difference in his development.
I think Miles and Cameron plan to get both QBs to reach their potential. There are only two scholarship QBs at LSU. LSU runs lots of options and QB draws, so there is lots of opportunity for QB injury. The backup QB is always one play away from being the starting QB, and it's an extremely rare season when the LSU starting QB does not get hurt.

Medical Hardship Requirements
To be eligible for a medical hardship waiver, a student-athlete has to meet the following criteria:
The student-athlete must suffer the injury during one of their four seasons of college competition or during the senior year of high school.
The injury must be incapacitating. That means it must be a season-ending injury.
The injury must occur prior to the start of the second half of the season.
The student-athlete must not have competed in more than 30% of the season or three contests, whichever is greater.
All of these must be proven with documentation. That means medical documentation to prove the injury and that it was season-ending and participation information to show that the student-athlete did not play in too many contests.
This documentation is normally pulled together by the compliance office and training room. Some conferences require the athlete to submit a statement or letter as part of the request. There are cases where athletes need to take a more active role though. Most common are when an athlete transfers before getting the waiver or when an athlete received a second opinion on an injury.

No he cant He needs more reps not more bench time The next two games he needs to split time 60/40 IMO.
We need to develop Jennings first and foremost. Jennings needs to take the first three quarters of SHS. Harris needs to throw every possession in the fourth until it's time to take a knee. At ULM, Jennings needs at least 2.5 quarters. Let Harris throw until they are ready to run clock out.
After MSU, when we play our final cupcake, Harris can tale the whole second half.

Thats true, but that was against a super weak secondary with WRs doing a lot after the Catch. And then Our Oline started upending up dumpster truck sized holes for Kenny Hilliard and that was it.
So now they are super weak lol. All during the offseason, you nutheads and the media kept talking about how Wisconsin's secondary was the strength and it was the shite. Now that Jennings found guys open in the game and delivered strikes, the secondary somehow sucks?
Don't say one word about SEC secondaries when all of them minus LSU, MSU, Kentucky, and UGA got lit up. At least LSU and UGA played teams with a pulse too.

Can anybody remember an lsu season where the starter played all the snaps. Bh will get his chance to play this year and it will probably be in a spot where we really need him to come up big.
Mett 2012. 351 attempts.
2 Rivers
1 Ware
1 Wing
Jennings also only had 2 pass attempts prior to Mett getting hurt. It is something Miles has a terrible grasp on. We don't put crappy teams away early enough to get the back ups good snaps, and when we do, we just run the clock down.

you've said this to me a few times. I don't remember saying their secondary would be a strength, and no one with half a brain would say that about a secondary that is starting a 2 star true freshmen at safety. They also sucked last year.
That secondary barely had a pulse.
