That's what I thought about the Mississippi State game.

Uh, the facts don't support your assertion? No biggie.

How so?

Majority would be greater than 50%, no? 4 out of 8 isn't the majority of turnovers.

Harris averages a turnover every 23 plays (passing and running).
Jennings averages a turnover every 32.9 plays (passing and running).

Therefore, Harris turns it over more often.

Yes, but as has been previously stated the interception was not a normal pass attempt. It was a hailmary. The fumble was legit though.

I'll expect the NCAA to put an asterisk next to it any day now.

I'm not expecting an asterisk. I'm speaking in terms of context. In context, the interception is not something that would lead me to believe Harris is a "turnover machine".

Here is where I got the 9 fumble stat from:

" Thanks to some good fortune, Auburn is only losing 22 percent of their fumbles this season. However, they’ve put the ball on the ground nine times already, something LSU’s defense should be excited about. The Bayou Bengals’ opponents have fumbled 10 times through five games, with LSU recovering six times."


They need to do better research. We've fumbled 5 times and lost 3 of them.

Yeah, and in terms of context, Harris scored 1 TD against State's starters playing prevent defense from the 30 yard line and 1 TD against State's second/third team playing prevent defense.

Oh yeah and he lit up a team that would be mediocre in D2, but that doesn't stop the pumping up of this kid.

Yet Jennings did not. Against the SAME cupcake, Jennings threw pick after pick. How can you not say based on this evidence, Harris looks like the better quarterback?

We'll find out soon enough. I don't think LSU is as bad as they looked against MSU. I don't think Auburn is as ineffective as they looked against KSU.

I think playing well, Auburn wins. I think JHS is a clear advantage. I would hope that we would have some incentive to go hard against LSU, but other than that nobody can really give you the answers you're looking for.

Auburn has made new QBs look amazing before, so that's something. But, I think what a team traditionally does in such a situation is pretty silly, especially with different coaching staffs.

We've only played one game since and it was La Tech at home. Of course good teams find ways to improve every week but I'm not sure anyone can say with any real certainty the team is better after playing La Tech. I know the coaches say there's improvement and as a fan you'd like to think the team is getting better. From what I've seen the defense improved but some key players got hurt last week. As far as the offense goes I haven't seen any noticeable improvement since K-State but that's just my opinion. The O-Line just isn't the same this year without Prosch and Greg Robinson so the running game isn't working like it did last year.

AU had the ball first and goal at the 7 yardline to go up 17 points with less than 6 min in the game. People want to say all the things KSU could have done, forget that AU outgained KSU 360 yards to 256. It should have been a blowout.

Harris' int was on a hail mary... He has been very safe with the ball on regular plays.

LSU certainly has some serious problems, but I think they will be a much better team with Harris lined up. The team seems to respond better to his leadership.

Maybe K-State is way better than you think?
Maybe K-State is particularly well suited to troubling Auburn in a way most schools are not
Maybe K-State was incredibly pumped for that game?
Maybe Auburn players didn't get much sleep after being Hotel raided?
Maybe Auburn beats a hypothetical K-State that didn't miss any point opportunities because they make different calls on offense to react to the different situation?
Maybe Auburn has motivation from last year for LSU they lacked for K-State
Maybe K-State is better than LSU


Should I continue or are you sufficiently frothy?
