Joe Burrow is officially LSU's starting quarterback.
NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune confirmed the selection through a source that Burrow beat out sophomore Myles Brennan for the job.
The starting quarterback battle was down to two after Lowell Narcisse and Justin McMillan announced their transfers from LSU earlier this month. Narcisse is headed to Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College while McMillan transferred to Tulane.
LSU opens the season on Sunday against Miami in Arlington, Texas.
With Burrow being named the starting quarterback, widely expected after the transfers of McMillan and Narcisse, it clears the way for LSU to begin game prep for the Hurricanes.
