As an aside, having only these two guys available, why is Jennings running 11 times vs an SEC foe?

Even when Harris get in the game all he will do is be handing it off. Miles will not let him do anything that would validate the fans argument.

Did I say that I wanted him to "trash Jennings"? No. Never.

At this point, it's clear that the offensive approach isn't working at all, and a shake-up is badly needed. It doesn't feel that Miles is giving Harris enough of an opportunity to develop or take control of the offense. It's also obvious to me that our offensive players are more well-suited for a spread type of system. I'm afraid that's the only thing that can make our offensive line serviceable for the rest of this season.

Not that I'm thrilled by the loss to MSU, but I was under the impression that this was a rebuilding year. Most experts were pointing to 2015 to be the year to expect a shot at the NC. It sucks to lose but sometimes shite happens. Try to keep your chin up.



Eh, this was supposed to be the best offensive line in Miles' tenure. This was supposed to be the best offensive line in the country. The most talented, the most deep. Give that dialogue and background, the way we lost to Mississippi State is inexcusable.

Brandon Harris tweeted again. That tweet wasn't football related.

Because he had to scramble a good bit due to lack of protection. There were some designed runs with the fake jet sweep, but there were also some scrambles.

Real fans want to see the program succeed. Not watch AJ cause three and outs because he can't throw the ball.

I guess if you think BH is going to come into this offense and turn it around this is what you think should happen. My opinion is that I don't believe he's capable of that.

I actually want Harris to start eventually towards the end of the season but don't think it would do a bit of good starting him right now, and might actually hurt his progression. When BH stumbles then the narrative will be "Les can't recruit a QB worth a damn."

Haven't seen this, but it shouldn't surprise anyone when Jennings does start.

And it shouldn't surprise anyone that we'll be pounding it up the middle, as usual. Too bad we can't use our last cupcake to really see what Harris can do to earn his spot. Get ready for the SOS.

You are mentally damaged if you believe tigerdroppings is the cause for shitty play from our quarterbacks.

Wasn't last year nice, without all the QB talk? What a refreshing fricking vacation from that strain of Rantardation.


Back to the ole' grind.

Low attendance this Saturday. Good chance of rain on Saturday and watching Les Miles offense. People will be staying at home. Probably 75K-80K for this game.


I will still be drinking some beer and watching regardless.

The designed runs with Jennings were ridiculous.

I think we're all real fans but some of us know moxie when we see it. Jennings can be real good and efficient in a Russell Wilson kind of way, but he has to step forward now before the team falls apart. Harris already has it and wants to take on the challenge and has demonstrated twice in the same game that he was up to it. You can shrug off one drive, but two straight drives makes you see there something more there.

I get the sense there never truly was a Qb competition between Jennings and Harris. If this were the case then both would have gotten their fair share of 1st team snaps and early playing time and Harris has not!

It's not Harris's place to stand up to miles and ask this of him, but it is ours as fans!

I was at the MSU game and I stayed the entire time. When Harris was put in the game, TS was rocking, even though there was only a few of us!

Here is the fact: Right now Harris is the hot hand and he has proven that so you give him a chance! He earned his right to keep playing and stay on the field! And starting this week will only build his confidence!! You don't bench someone after that kind of performance, period!
