He likes that big paycheck also.



Tinker

QB Brandon Harris will start the football game against Auburn because Les Miles like his $4 million dollar paycheck. And that he knows now that he will be run out of Baton Rouge Louisiana on a rail, if he doesn't. Nobody in their right mind wouldn't start Harris after what the college football fans have seen in the last two weeks. No! Les Miles is of course a man that is sure enough crackers, but he also likes that $4 Million dollars paycheck like anyone else would too.

STEWART: Brandon Harris’ time seems to have arrived

A change feels like it’s coming, doesn’t it? 
.
Nope. The change has already arrived.

That change is Brandon Harris starting at quarterback for LSU.

Harris looked efficient and poised in leading the Tigers to a 63-7 win against New Mexico State. The Aggies never posed a terrible threat, but a true freshman collecting 214 total yards and five total touchdowns in his first meaningful action as a quarterback is nothing to shake off either.

Harris ran the offense — which finally used a variety of formations, including shotgun sets, to spread out the opposing defense — to near perfection, directing the Tigers to touchdowns on each of the seven drives he captained.

He was just what the doctor ordered for LSU’s ailing offense.

"He performed well, handled all the communications and a multitude of things we ask a quarterback to do,” LSU coach Les Miles said. "He made plays, and it was very positive.”

Harris is a far different quarterback now than he was against Wisconsin.

The freshman looked lost on the field against the Badgers — literally. In the one series he played — when he was sacked on third down — Harris was seen on camera breaking the huddle with several offensive lineman looking confused around him. Harris looked equally befuddled.

But confusion was nowhere on Harris’ radar against the Aggies. He never seemed flustered and took exactly what the defense gave him.

"He’s grown a lot,” receiver Travin Dural said. "Our first game, you could tell he was nervous. Ever since then, he’s grown a lot and he’s matured a lot. You can tell his confidence is growing.”

Confidence has never been an issue for Harris. With dozens of cameras in his face at LSU’s Media Day this August, Harris answered questions with grace and polish, and he did so again Saturday night as reporters swarmed him almost immediately as he walked into the media room.

Maybe Harris just needed to find a little more confidence on the field.
Looks like he’s found it.

"Brandon is a very talented kid, and I have a lot of confidence in him, just like everybody in this offense,” senior center Elliott Porter said.

Harris’ poise was on display on his 27-yard touchdown pass in the second quarter.
