The one play that screams "start Harris"

The one play that really makes the case for Harris was the touchdown strike to Dupre. They were in the red zone or thereabouts and his initial read was covered or pressure forced him out of the pocket.....there were clear running lanes for a first down or significant yardage. Most young QBs in a panic situation like this tuck the ball in and run for positive yardage (not necessarily a bad play....but read on). Harris kept his vision downfield and just as he was approaching the line of scrimmage while rolling out, he throws a strike to Dupre in the endzone. Touchdown. It was a very accurate throw as well.....Dupre was covered short and to the inside. The throw was high and outside.....either TD or incompletion.

Say what you want about the competition....that's valid in this case, but the play as a whole tells me the kid gets it and he is accurate on his throws. No doubt Harris will endure growing pains during SEC action. The kid deserves the QB job.....take the lumps this year and hopefully contend for a title in the two years that follow.
