When Jennings came in he was much better in the pocket and passing than Harris. Sure, he should be, but is getting Harris ready for next year worth forfeiting the entire season by playing a fresh who is obviously not ready?

I think expectations were unrealistic for a true freshman making his first start on the road against the defending SEC champions.

Congrats on making a call from 1 game.

Harris is going to be better by far and has a much higher ceiling.

Harris never let the game slow down. He's more talented but not ready for that environment.

Jennings is cooler under pressure (generally) but isn't the threat that Harris is.

edit: I expected to see a lot of Harris at UW and early but when he did go in he seemed like a deer in headlights. Just not ready and the coaches knew it.

LSU fans weren't expecting any type of championship this year

He was in this game. It is the year of the backup for LSU.

Les said Harris wasn't ready but our fans are fricking stupid. Harris needs time to develop.

In Harris' on words, he played awful. That being said, he has still outperformed Jennings this year. He missed a half-dozen wide open throws. I doubt he does that again. You saw a couple of signs of what folks are talking about. The 52 yard throw on the run and across his body is one Jennings (and many other QB's)can't make. His gliding running style on the 36 yard run displayed again something Jennings probably would have been far short of. If he's healthy I say take your lumps with the Kid. He is the future at this point.

Neither Qb was ready for Jordan Hare at night. Auburn fans were loud the entire game

We were not counting on Auburn being a better team than New Mexico State. We guessed wrong on that one

Honestly though...it has created a mess. Which direction does the coaching staff go now? I don't have a clue.

lol no he wasn't.

Harris played like shite, but jennings' limitations were glaring as well. His balls have no zip on them.

No way we were beating y'all wither way, but i wish Miles would have scheduled up a couple early short slants to get BH in rhythm
