Uh, did you forget when Syracuse scored that TD that made the game close, and BH marched us down the field through the air to answer with a TD of his own? Harris is more than capable of doing things

Yes, I do... but that's my point - he's not bad. I should have qualified "anything at all" with "hardly anything at all." Point taken.


Off topic a bit, but BH's situation right now reminds me of AJ McCarron in 2011. I remember reading on the Tiger Rant (very longtime lurker here - mostly signed up to talk about food and wine on the other board) about people trashing AJ and acting like he sucked. But what I saw was the exact opposite - a guy doing everything he was asked to do, and being managed excellently by Saban & Co. Leaned heavy on defense and running game early on and slowly allow AJ to progress.

AJ was a damn good college QB, especially for Bama's system at the time. Best QB they've had in the Saban era IMO.

But yes, it's a very similar feeling I get when watching BH. LSU isn't stupid, they're allowing BH to slowly progress and get better each game. Just watch who he is by the end of the year. You can tell.
