Myles Brennan entered his first two games with LSU with the game well in hand. That was not the case Saturday night.
The Tigers came into the 35-26 victory against Syracuse with a plan to let Brennan play meaningful snaps against a Power 5 team that showed some ability to make things difficult for the LSU offense.
LSU scored a touchdown on the first series with Brennan on the field, but fifth-year senior starter Danny Etling re-entered the game after Brennan threw an interception and Syracuse trimmed a 28-10 LSU lead down to 28-26 in the fourth quarter.
