Well I think he all but confirmed AJ will start when he said on his radio show that while Harris may be a more explosive style of Quarterback, the staff still feels that AJ gives the best chance to make the other 10 guys better.

I doubt Harris even sees the field. And judging from his social media it appears he knows he has to work harder on the mental side where it counts. He's being humbled and I hope it pays off because for Miles to say that he's more explosive is evidence that even he knows who the superior talent of the two is. I think it's pretty clear at this point Miles doesn't trust him to know what he's supposed to do when things are tough. And Miles relishes tough situations. The flip side of that is he probably trusts AJ to know what he's supposed to do, but doesn't have a lot of trust in him actually doing it. Hence the low number of pass attempts per game. Now he's really screwed because the O-line is banged up so he can't run the ball well enough to hide the QBs.

At this point though, why not throw caution to the wind. It's one inconsequential game. The non-marquee bowl game we will get, whether we beat TAMU or not, is essentially the start of spring practice. Whichever guy you put back there, let him play pitch and catch. These kids deserve a chance to just have some fun at this point. There's no way they have been having fun. If that means a glorified game of 7 on 7, so be it. Come back with your shield or on it. But put up a fight. Geez!

According to Doucet, Les was asked if Harris would play and his response was "I'm not ready to say"

By previous history I think that means Harris is once again the starter.

I think you meant Jennings, and I would bet a quarter that you are correct. I would also be tempted to bet another quarter that Harris doesn't see any action.

You missed it. He has said before that Harris would play and he didn't.

Now he is no comment

We have to pray that Jim Harbaugh and the 49ers win the Super Bowl.

Wouldn't be the first time I "missed" something Les said.

Even if Les starts Harris (or changes starters at any position), he's not going to announce it now and let A&M plan for it for two weeks. "I'm not ready to say" forces the A&M DC to plan for both quarterbacks. I am surprised that he announced that Porter was out for the season, Les is usually cagy about injuries, too.

Do you really think the A&M DC would need any additional time to put a plan together to stop our brilliantly planned and executed offensive strategy? Having a plan is one thing. Having the players to properly execute it is another? Thank goodness A&M is as bad on D as we are on O.

Yes, I really think that SEC defensive coordinators pay very close attention to who is starting at every position, who comes in, what their tendencies are . . . especially quarterbacks. You have been screaming for Harris because he is supposed to be a better passer. The A&M DC knows this and probably a lot more.
