The clock ticks quicker on finding a starting LSU quarterback

Perhaps LSU offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger should climb in a coaching tower at the opening of the Tigers' preseason camp Saturday and have his quarterbacks gather below.

Then, he can announce "Gentlemen, start your throwing arms" followed by waving a green flag officially starting the race for the starting QB spot.

Sophomore Myles Brennan, redshirt junior Justin McMillin (who graduated Friday) and redshirt freshman Lowell Narcisse thought they were in hot pursuit of the QB vacancy in spring practice.

By the end of spring, none of the trio could maintain consistency.

LSU coach Ed Orgeron, with an eye on college football's free agency market known as graduate transfers, was able to pick up in May Ohio State grad transfer Joe Burrow, a QB with two years remaining eligibility.
