Is this a ploy to bring more attention to himself or is this real? That's the question LSU fans have to be asking themselves with this tweet sent out by Paul Finebaum Wednesday:

If the Tigers do indeed hand the ball to Brandon Harris to start the season it would be the logical decision. Anthony Jennings has been given many opportunities to show what he can do in 2014 and after throwing 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions, to go along with a 49 percent completion percentage, it's time to see if Harris has developed into a starting player.

The one game Harris did start was a disaster but considering he was a freshman opening up in a hostile environment against Auburn, the results weren't stunning. Now with a full offseason of maturation under his belt, Harris has at least one prominent voice claiming he will get that chance this season.

What will he do with it this time?
