It's obviously racial....what, nooooo that can't be it. I got it....I got it....Les Miles, Cam Cameron, and the LSU players have it in for Brandon Harris. They don't want to win games so that explains playing the 2nd best QB right? Man, it is time to ask these Harris cultists if they see black helicopters circling overhead.
No genius you said that with your "can they read a defense " statement. The fact is it doesn't make a shit bit of difference what they read in HS because it's not comparable. What matters is arm strength, accuracy, speed, agility, and attitude. All things that can be measured without a defense on the field.
I gave a specific example in the KY game where Harris should have thrown the ball to the inside for a TD to Diarse and instead threw it to the inside for an INT. Either he didn't read an obvious defensive coverage...a free safety in the center of the field deep and in coverage or he threw an incredibly inaccurate pass. Take your pick...I'm not inside Harris' head and know which horrible mistake he made. But as the analyst said, you can't throw the ball where he threw it. Should have been an LSU TD...instead a KY INT. BTW, "accuracy" is not the same when you aren't playing against a decent defense. You can complete a TD pass to a wide open guy who is not well covered or in practice with no defense even with a poor pass...happens all the time. Sooooo, accuracy for one can NOT be judged without a defense on the field. Plus, there is something called nerves. Many, many QBs lose poise in the game which looked like what happened in the Auburn game when Harris had his meltdown...3 of 14. You don't have to be a QB coach to know there are only 2 reasons why a guy continuously overthrows/throws high every pass...he is "amped up" with 0 poise OR his mechanics are pitiful and he is not following through. That's it!
