Brandon Harris will make his first start since the 2014 Auburn game The verdict is now in. After a long offseason of debate amongst fans, the LSU staff has broken the silence and revealed the starting quarterback for the season opener, which is now just five days away.

LSU sophomore Brandon Harris will get the first snaps over Anthony Jennings when the Tigers take the field against McNeese State on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium, Les Miles confirmed on Monday evening.

"Absolutely," Miles said.

As a freshman last season, Harris earned just one start, finishing the season 25-of-45 passing for 452 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. In his lone start, a road trip against Auburn, Harris was 3-of-14 for 58 yards. One year later, the staff is confident enough in the strides he's made this offseason to name him the team's starter going into a season where the Tigers debuted at No. 14 in the AP Top 25.
