I don't think he should be fired. But I think Alleva needs to call him in for a chat. I don't think we got a $400K performance out of Les last night.
Hell that same stubbornness had him running 4 straight times from the 2. That score was the difference in points.
The change was certainly late, I mentioned that the in THE BAD. We will see. I think Harris earned himself some more playing time that he had not done in previous opportunities and I think Jennings earned himself less playing time. I expect to see both quarterbacks in the first half next week. We really can't know how Harris compares until he plays a whole game or most of one. He may have issues as well. There is likely a good reason that Cameron is bringing him along slowly. I also think that Les and Cameron want a balanced attack. It was generally conceded in the preseason that LSU would use its powerful offensive line and stable of explosive running backs to give the young quarterbacks time to learn the offense, read defenses and make situational calls. I think that plan is out the window. With no power running game, LSU has little to lose by passing the ball and letting those young QB's learn it the hard way. If they have success, it should also open up the running game.
The question though is will they give Harris the freedom to sling it? Or is it going to be more of the same bland try and establish the run against 10 men in the box crap we continue to see. I still think 2008 haunts him.
Well he was slinging it to Fournette in the 4th qtr, up by 56 points a few weeks ago... I don't think he'll be handicapped too much. Too much upside with Harris to do that. Funny tho how every team but LSU seems to be able to plug in a new green QB and get great results while we're losing to MooU.
I think it goes beyond that... I think he's honestly Mr. Big 10, and prefers that style of slow, conservative run game plan with little passing... just pound pound pound, and wear the other team down. Well with no OL or DL, shit ain't panning out.
