QB Harris is elite

-

Re: “Will a star shine again?” Front Page, Sunday:

I generally agree with the vast majority of your excellent articles and editorials. However, I take issue with one phrase from sports columnist Mike Finger's otherwise insightful Sunday Front Page column about University of Texas at San Antonio quarterbac­k Frank Harris.

He points to the pluses of Harris playing another season at UTSA — including that he probably doesn't have a realistic shot at the National Football League. This is the line that surprised me: “Harris doesn't have an elite arm.”

Now I would consider his size a possible liability for an NFL career, but after watching the comeback against the University of Texas at El Paso and his stellar play in the Conference USA championsh­ip game Friday, I would never suggest he doesn't have an elite arm. He threw some of the most beautiful, consistent­ly accurate passes I've seen in collegiate football. It was like watching an artist at work.
