1. Anthony Jennings or Brandon Harris?
LSU’s passing game was No. 116 in the country and can only get better, right?. The two main options at quarterback for the Tigers, Anthony Jennings and Brandon Harris, combined for a mere 2,118 passing yards, 17 touchdowns and nine interceptions. If LSU is going to get back to the SEC Championship Game, the passing game has to improve, and needs one of Jennings or Harris to deliver.
Neither did last year as Jennings completed fewer than half his passes and Harris was completely overwhelmed in his start against Auburn after coming to LSU as the No. 3 dual-threat quarterback recruit. They’re both going to get extensive action in the spring game and after Jenning’s struggles last year, the door is there for Harris to bust it open and seize control of the job.
