The transfer of Joe Burrow was a game-changer for the LSU program for a number of reasons. But the biggest one is that he was a stop-gap measure that allowed Ed Orgeron and his staff to reset the depth chart.
A year later, the overall health and depth at the position is at its best place in a while, with a senior starter, a third-year backup seemingly poised to take over in a year, a 2019 freshman in the pipeline to develop and two talented commitments for the 2020 recruiting class.
It’s an undeniably good situation overall.
