In a game that did not see much offensive production and where the coaching staff seemed lost, there was a ray of light that shined yet again for the Tigers, and that was Jackson Harris.
Harris was a major factor in getting the offense into the red zone on Saturday. This was his second consecutive game with at least nine receptions and over 150 receiving yards. Harris finished the game with 11 catches for 166 yards on 18 targets.
Harris was needed to keep this offense moving because there were plenty
of times when the offense just felt stuck. The Alabama defense did everything it could to shut down the connection between Harris and quarterback Sam Leavitt but was only able to limit their effectiveness in the more critical areas of the field, especially when LSU crossed midfield and entered Alabama territory.
Harris will need to maintain this hot pace this week as the challenge reaches another level, with one of the best defenses in the nation coming into Baton Rouge to take on the Tigers.
Who do you think was the game’s MVP, and how do you feel about Harris and his development this season?
