LSU selects starting QB for opener against Miami but waits to make annoucement

LSU has named a starting quarterback but will not make a public announcement until after the team is informed.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron said Monday (Aug. 27) during his weekly media luncheon Joe Burrow and Myles Brennan each have been informed which quarterback will take the first snap Sunday against Miami.

The quarterbacks were informed during a Monday morning meeting with Orgeron and offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger. The coach said the competition was a close one that went back and forth as late as last week.

The two quarterbacks handled a near-equal number of snaps during preseason camp.
