His maturity is great news. But is he completing passes?
On a side note though. I don't think Harrison will see any action in our first three games. If we are going to beat USC in LA we will need Taylor playing like a seasoned veteran. The backups will see plenty of action, especially our running backs and receivers, but at QB Zac needs every snap before we head into LA.
Normally we would see Harrison get plenty of action. But USC is a special game. If we win in LA it could set the tone for championship run.
but on the other hand leaving him in vs. nicholls state with a 35 point lead and he gets his acl torn from a rolling lineman..... ummmm not a good idea
Injuries happen. Hopefully Zac will stay healthy for the entire season. But offenses tend to start slower than defenses. It takes a few games for offenses to hit their stride. From what the coaches have said there is a huge gap between Zac and Beck/Ganz so the backups certainly need the experience. And since Zac graduates at the end of this year we certainly need an experienced backup ready to take over. Although a torn ACL from a rolling lineman is always a risk, I don't think Callahan is overly concerned about it. At least to the point where he is willing to pull our starter when he still needs some seasoning. Once our offense is firing on all cylinders then we will see Beck get some meaningful snaps.
If Harrison gets in our first two games I'll be surprised if it's anymore than a token snap or two at the end of the game. Hopefully we will at least have the option of going to a backup QB. Harrison has certainly matured, and that will help. But we aren't going to find out if his arm or shoulder has completely healed until he gets under center and starts throwing completions.
