After a quarterback battle that has lasted all offseason, Les Miles has announced that Brandon Harris will be the starting quarterback this Saturday for the season opener against McNeese State.
A long offseason of debating over who the starting QB for game one has come to an end. #LSU is going with Brandon Harris this weekend.

For me Brandon Harris was the choice all along for LSU. Unless Anthony Jennings got significantly better over the spring and summer, I figured Harris would get the nod as I think he is the better long term solution at quarterback.
Luckily for Harris, he has an absolute beast at running back to hand the ball off to and some solid receivers out wide, so he will have a decent supporting cast.
