    It has the potential to work. @LaSalleAve is spot on here about saban. His defense is built and trained to react to the type of offense you get with AJ. When you get a wrinkle (Trevor Knight, the Auburn team, Ole miss) they sort of lose their shit. Players aren't where the D is expecting them to be and he has no answer. This has been proven to work. WV while they didn't win had success moving the ball. Hell even the scenario with "him" holds water.

    So what will Mr almost 80% do?

    What's funny is even rigid ass Nick Saban broke from his mantra last year against LSU and was faking kicks and shit against us to win. I never thought I'd see that stubborn ass broomstick up his ass cold bastard Saban break from his monotony to fool an opposing team. Alabama and LSU are 2 rare teams left that do not rely on deception to beat opponents, and Saban broke from that last year. In think if LSU breaks from that this year we could beat them by 2 touchdowns or more. And I hope the fans troll the shit out of Landon Collins too.

    This is not a dominant front 7 for Bama but they are rapidly improving. The secondary isn't great either but they're rarely out of position to make a play on the ball. Jennings cannot throw this little soft, nose high passes he throws because while they are still improving, Bama does have the athletes to make him pay dearly. That said, I don't see the gameplan changing much from last week. Probably a 70/30 run to pass percentage. I do love the prospect of short passes in hurry-up mode mixed in with a heavy dose of running. I just don't think either of our guys have it together enough to run it effectively. As much as I want us to be respectable through the air I hope the run it down their throat plan works because Yeldon and Cooper need to stay on the sideline as much as possible.

    But I hope Harris is preparing as if any moment he could be called on. You've got to have some mustard on those deeper passes against athletes like this. He's got to know what he's doing and what he's seeing though.

    This would also be a good time to see Malachi have his coming out party against quality competition. My buddy says he and Tony Brown spent a lot of times in the same camps and his regular abuse of Brown (and other highly ranked corners) is the biggest reason for his high ranking despite playing in a very run heavy offense at Curtis. He just doesn't have the same chemistry with Jennings.

    Believe it or not, hold on to you heart...I agree with you!! Holy Shit batman!! That's all I have been saying all year long, I do agree jennings should be the starter, but harris should get at least two series every game to run 100% of the offense not just hand off, it's the only way to insure that harris will continue to grow as a QB.

    It may be the quickest way, but not necessarily the best, safest or smartest way. It is definitely not the only way.

    I think Miles may play Harris off the bench if Jennings struggles and the flow of the games dictates it. Miles' feel for the flow of the game versus ours is likely very different though.
