re: Miles says Harris was ill-prepared by the coach for the Auburn start

I've got it written down somewhere at my home office but currently at work. I'll see if I can find it and shoot it to you.

) how can you accept blame for another if you are the one receiving the blame? 2) when was Brandon harris blamed for the AU game or Miles blamed for playing him and Miles said it wasn't he (miles fault) or Brandon didn't play well enough

Ummmmm.....I don't have time to dissect/search for the logic in these statements right now.

There must be something in the water in Prairieville.

And then he compounded the problem by yanking Harris when he should have bit the bullet and rode him the rest of the year.

And risk hurting his ankle even further resulting in more and more injury problems throughout his career? Why does everyone still ignore the fact that HE WAS HURT? HE. SAID. IT.

which means you don't have the substance to back up your accusation.

I feel for you....you're a special kind of stupid that can't be fixed. Reread what you posted several times....maybe it will come to you.

you're in good company though.....gray, goat....they're from PV as well.

Why do people who claim that Jennings is some kinda Miles "pet" or "favorite" ignore that Miles has already benched Jennings in favor of Harris???

Why do people claim QBs never improve at LSU when it's clear to anyone with his head not buried in the sand that LSU QBs have improved?

Why do people claim Miles always plays the older player when there are examples after examples of Fr. and So.s playing in front of Jr.s and Sr.s?

BH completed over 70% for 330 yds. with 5 TDs and a efficiency rating of 250 in the 2 games before his Aub. start. Jennings completed 45% for 170 yds. with no TDs, 2 ints and a efficiency rating of like 80 in those same 2 games.

Are we really gonna argue that it was not understandable to give Harris a look see at starting no matter how the move worked out???

I second that emotion...

Not throwing the ball wasn't a problem since he threw 14 times in the 1st half. The problem was he only completed 3 of those passes

---

Yep. They threw the ball. Somebody said something about he should have been in shotgun more (he was), well that would have helped, IF that was even a problem that night. Harris had several problems all on his own that contributed to that display. This was his play by play:

2nd down 4 - Harris fumbled snap
2nd down 3 - Harris throw nowhere near Dural
2nd down 1 - Harris runs the wrong way
3rd down 8 - Harris back to pass, but runs immediately and gets planted at the scrimmage line
1st down 10 - Harris deep pass to Dupre caught near the goal line
3rd down 4 - Harris over throws Dural
1st down 10 - Harris QB draw for 5
2nd down 5 - Harris overthrow Dupre
3rd down 5 - Harris overthrow Quinn who gets decapitated
1st down 10 - Harris pass nowhere near Neighbors
2nd down 10 - Harris gets pressured, gets outside the pocket, but over throws Dural
3rd down 10 - Harris, no pass rush, leaves the pocket and throws across his shoulder into the middle of the field and the Auburn player dropped the int
1st down 10 - Harris middle screen pass to Williams for 3
2nd down 7 - Harris QB draw for 3
3rd down 4 - Harris 3 yard pass to Williams
1st down 15 - Harris slightly overthrow to Dural
2nd down 15 - Harris escapes pressure, picks up 31 on the run
1st down 10 - Harris incomplete to Dural in the endzone
SECOND HALF
1st down 10 - Harris sacked
3rd down 15 - Harris QB draw for 6
1st down 10 - Harris short pass slightly behind Jeter incomplete
3rd down 13 - Harris scrambles, throws way behind Magee

Observations
-4 of his first 5 plays were under center, and he was only under center twice for the rest of his plays
-Nearly every single time he was in shotgun, he had at least 3 WRs, and had mostly four WRs
-In shotgun 72.72% under center 27.27%
-He was off badly on the majority of his passes
-He took off too early, several times with zero pass rush (or at least pass rush contained)

So Les is throwing Cam under the bus. Oh great...

---

He's blaming himself. Some of you just want to turn whatever this guy says into a negative.

Jennings has no game and no upside. He can't throw and he can't run, other than that he's OK. The fact that he is still in the QB hunt is the scary part.

Harris was obviously immature last year and did not prepare himself properly to participate at the college level. Both QB's should be better this year, just by osmosis, if nothing else. The offense will be better.

They keep saying that Cam is a QB guru, I'm still waiting for guru part to show up, jmo.

He still should have let Harris start the rest of the way and gain valuable experience.

I'm sure Harris would have killed it with that high ankle sprain
