Alabama’s Pass Defense Has a Problem That LSU WR Jackson Harris Can Exploit

LSU wide receiver Jackson Harris has emerged as one of the Tigers' most dangerous offensive weapons, and his performance against Auburn offered a glimpse of what could await Alabama's secondary Saturday.

Harris torched Auburn for 178 receiving yards and two touchdowns on nine receptions in LSU's 38-17 victory. His performance highlighted an ability to stretch defenses vertically while turning intermediate completions into explosive gains.

That combination could be particularly troublesome for an Alabama defense that has struggled to prevent big plays through the air this season.

Through eight games, the Crimson Tide have surrendered 25 completions of at least 20 yards, an average of more than three per contest.
