LSU preps for Auburn, Brandon Harris says he’s ‘best throwing quarterback in

No. 15 Auburn will try to bounce back quickly when it opens SEC play at No. 14 LSU in a battle of Tigers on Saturday.Auburn squeezed by Louisville in its opener and needed overtime to pull out a 27-20 victory over Jacksonville State last week, but Jeremy Johnson’s five interceptions in the two games don’t seem to be a big concern.

Player Who Matters While the spotlight will be on Leonard Fournette after his terrific game against Mississippi State, this is when the LSU receiving corps has to show up.

“As a team we’re not really anxious about it”, Ray said. They know they have potential. That’s kind of how it went. Past year the passing game struggled and sputtered against Auburn, completing 8-of-24 passes for 142 yards, but this time around it needs to be bombs away. “I just love the way he plays”.

“We’ve got to make it tight, make him uncomfortable just like any other quarterback”, said LSU defensive end Tashawn Bower, a onetime Auburn commit who said he interacted with Johnson on a recruiting visit to the Plains.

“It’s taken a little while, but I don’t think I am”, Bower, LSU’s junior defensive end said of the brutal Louisiana heat and humidity in August. “It was a stupid decision”.

Against Mississippi State, at least one question was answered. He has 13 receptions for 130 yards in the two games with one touchdown. “No, it wasn’t crowd noise at all”.

“Weve got more than enough talent to do what we want to do this year, ” Ford said.

Cameron, Miles and Harris have plenty to correct, but in their minds they were not conservative at Mississippi State. “There are some things we need to clean up”.

By all of the accounts of his teammates and coaches, D’haquille Williams is motivated more for this week than he has been throughout the 2015 season. “Now we’re starting SEC play”. That ones behind you and you look forward and you do everything you can to improve.”. This year the team is relying upon Johnson’s growth as a team leader and quarterback to win the SEC outright. He finished with 48 yards rushing on five carries for 119 total yards.

“We enjoy his abilities to scramble out of the pocket”, Miles said. Brandon Harris will have time to compose himself under pressure-given the friendly confines of his home stadium-in this big matchup.

A couple of Auburn players met with the media Tuesday morning before the Tigers’ trip to LSU this weekend.

“That game was just a blur, really”, Harris said.

“That’s the nature of the beast when you play at Alabama”, Tide center Ryan Kelly said. And now understanding what the whole quarterback position is about – getting everybody on the same page and not going out there free balling and this and that.
