re: Why hasnt Les allowed Harris to throw more?

He doesn't need to. Les will let him throw when LSU plays a team with a pulse - until then, let LF build a Heisman case.

This.

Harris is completing over 60% of his passes, for 100 YPG, and isn't turning the ball over. He's also added 117 yards and 2 scores on the ground. He's shown he's just enough of a threat with his arm and legs to keep defenses from putting 9 or 10 in the box to key on number 7. That's all that has been needed, up to this point.

With that said, I do think he's going to need to be more of a threat passing during the meat of LSU's schedule. 150-175 YPG and 1 score, while continuing to take care of the ball, would be more than enough IMO. That's not out of the question by any means.
