HOOVER, Ala. — One by one, LSU players tried to rewrite the story of Brandon Harris.
They started by chipping away at the premise. You know the one. It goes something like this: Harris as the No. 1 reason why LSU didn’t reach double digits in wins last year. His completion percentage, which ranked 101st among qualifying QBs, was too low. Six interceptions wasn’t bad, of course, but 13 touchdowns wasn’t nearly enough. He just couldn’t move the ball downfield, the offense struggled to feature anything more than the power running game and it nearly cost LSU coach Les Miles his job.
