LSU football‘s quarterback situation got sorted out a lot sooner than head coach Ed Orgeron was anticipating.
But that’s only because of the broken arm that redshirt senior Myles Brennan suffered earlier this week (which required surgery).
Brennan is out indefinitely with the injury (though early estimates suggest he could return in eight weeks).
With Brennan out, sophomore Max Johnson was officially named the Tigers’ starting quarterback for the season opener against UCLA on September 4.
Max Johnson brings a different element to LSU football’s offense
Johnson is a more mobile quarterback than Brennan, which could bring a different element to LSU’s offense.
