You may see some, but it hasn't been Harris' strong point this season. I expect you'll see much of what you've been seeing in the last few weeks from the Tigers O. I'd also expect a few Mad Hatter plays. Miles won't be reinventing the wheel on Saturday.
I'd run it. But I agree with TT, I don't see them reinventing the wheel at this point, Miles isn't a guy who makes changes much, he plays his game and if you stop it you win.
What other team call the read option hasn't been a true option for Harris. Mostly designed plays for him to run or give it to Fournette with the "option" predetermined from the bench. On at least a couple of plays when if Harris would have run it would have been for a loss or no gain Fournette has taken the ball away from Harris on the fake handoff. Harris is still learning a d has done some good things but he hasn't advance to the point of making that split second decision on the option. A true read option includes not only runs by the QB and RB but also passing.
Harris had 48 yards on 5 carries vs. State and 66 yards on 8 carries vs. Auburn. Overll though, his average per carry is pretty dismal. 160 yards on 41 carries. Yes, he has to be accounted for but in reality he's not been much of a threat.
He has been sacked 8 times this year. Conversely LSU is 1 sack away from equaling the sack total from a year ago.
hes a big threat tucking it and running. sacks make it look like hes not. not sure the yardage but i know he makes up his mind and goes and that will be a big determinant in the outcome saturday. with bamas front 7 hes going to win or lose it based on his decision making.
