LSU will turn to freshman TJ Finley to start at quarterback against South Carolina on Saturday as Myles Brennan continues to deal with a lower body injury.
LSU coach Ed Orgeron made the announcement after Thursday's practice, adding that fellow freshman quarterback Max Johnson will play as well.
"It could have been a flip of the coin," Orgeron said of the battle between Finley and Johnson.
Finley, who is 6-foot-6, is a former four-star prospect from Ponchatoula, Louisiana.
Brennan suffered the lower body injury against Missouri on Oct.
