It’s hard not to ask how we went from the incredible triumphs of Joe Burrow to this as we take a look into LSU’s quarterback situation at an unexpected open date.
Five games into the Tigers’ season, we’ve already seen three players line up at quarterback — a position many thought only redshirt junior Myles Brennan would assume as he took the reins for a departed Burrow.
Hell, to this point, we’ve even seen 30-year-old punter Zach Von Rosenberg take snaps in practice because of the woes LSU has suffered in the midst of a small COVID-19 outbreak and injury problems.
Here’s a look into the state of each quarterback that’s seen time on the roster and the experimentation, for lack of a better word, that the Tigers seem to be doing at the position.
Myles Brennan
There was a lot of hope for the redshirt junior at the beginning of the season, but Brennan has been hampered by a significant lower-body injury since the 45-41 loss to Missouri in LSU’s third game of the season.
Brennan, and the offense as a whole for that matter, seemed to finally be finding some sense of rhythm before the quarterback was sidelined.
Earlier this week, Orgeron said on a conference call that he doesn’t expect Brennan back this season unless “something miraculous happens.”
Ed Orgeron says they're looking at the injury, the rehab and possibly a procedure for Myles Brennan.
