LSU will start Joe Burrow at quarterback in the season-opener against Miami, the school announced on Monday.
Burrow, who spent three years at Ohio State before leaving as a graduate transfer this offseason, beat out sophomore Myles Brennan to win the job. Sophomore Andre Sale is listed as the team's third-string QB.
Burrow was the backup to former Buckeye quarterback JT Barrett the last two seasons. He appeared in a total of 10 games, completing 29 of 39 passes for 287 yards and two touchdowns.
