When the LSU Tigers open their 2015 season against the McNeese State Cowboys on Sept. 5, Brandon Harris will take the first snap under center. Jim Kleinpeter of the Times-Picayune reported the sophomore has won the starting quarterback job over Anthony Jennings.
"Brandon Harris has done everything we've asked him to and continued to improve," head coach Les Miles said, per Kleinpeter.
Harris played in eight games last year, going 25-of-42 for 452 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. Jennings received the bulk of the playing time but wasn't convincing in the role, throwing for 1,611 yards, 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions.
