Joe Burrow to start for LSU this weekend

BATON ROUGE - After staying mum during the season-opening luncheon with media outlets, Coach Ed Orgeron's decision on the starting quarterback was released officially by LSU in a short video clip.

On Monday, Orgeron announced he informed quarterbacks Miles Brennan and Joe Burrow which of them would be the starter against Miami Sunday. But he said he wouldn't announce it to the general public until he's informed the rest of the team. He added that the planned starter would be taking most of the reps in practice, but plans could change between now and game time.

"If he does not perform well, we have no problem putting in the second-team quarterback," Orgeron said.


It'll be Burrow this weekend.

Sports Illustrated reported the team has two solid quarterback options no matter what.



The message was delivered to the QBs face-to-face in a professional manner, and grades were presented. Burrow edged Brennan in some departments (namely decision making), but Brennan kept pace or exceeded Burrow in many others.

Sounds like #LSU has two solid options. https://t.co/n4SODTI28J

According to a certain Ohio State fan he already has third place wrapped up in the Heisman behind Dobbins and Haskins.

CEO, doesn't sound confident, if anything the last part of his statement just adds more on to Burrow.

Good for him. I think the LSU/Miami match this weekend should tell a lot for both teams this yr.

LOL! I've never seen such a tall QB get so many passes batted down at the line of scrimmage, that should be fun to see again

Rooting for Burrow to do well @ LSU.

He's a former Buckeye. Good luck Joe.

Does it matter which QB starts for LSU? Their offense is a collection of plays written on stone tablets

I thought ole Les took those with him to keep those plays secret.

Besides, handing the ball off correctly is very important.
