    The thing red fails to grasp is that if Harris did have the freedom to check out of plays then why would he check out of passing plays to a running play when there were 8 or 9 in the box. If he thought the pass play called wouldn't work against a particular defensive alignment he could check to a better passing play. It's impossible for anybody who knows much about football to believe that Harris took it upon himself to check to runs against a loaded box.

    Well, it makes sense if you are trying to beat a blitz, but the delayed handoff is the way to go, or you just throw at the blitz. I'd have to go back and look at the film, I still think this is predetermined. Harris sees blitz the coaches want him to check to run, he calls a run play, Cameron gives the OK, ball is snapped.

    If Harris was checking out of pass plays why in the holy hell did our coaching staff not straighten that out? I think the answer is our coaching staff (Miles), not Harris, nixed the passing game.

    That's all fine but Moo U wasn't in blitz packages because they didn't expect the pass. They were daring LSU to pass.
    A lots of times a screen or a quick slant is better at beating the blitz than a delayed handoff draw.

    I agree, I'm just trying to make some kind of sense out what I'm reading from Harris.

    Yeah because the fans who are asking for more than 14 passes a game and not shutting the offense down with 40 minutes of football left are being completely unreasonable. . . .

    The ones who think that Les owes them excitement more than he owes LSU a win are being completely unreasonable. It was a opening game on the road in a hostile stadium against a ranked team. State had something to do with shutting the offense down, don't you think? The first two scores were easy and State adjusted.

    What I want is a win and I don't care how they win or by how much.

    I think Cameron is the QB coach. It also seems like he has something in common with previous QB coaches - they work for Miles.
