In an opening game vs. a top 10 opponent LSU is essentially going to sacrifice the first quarter to appease a backup QB and then throw in a guy who has never started a college game (Burrow) in the 2nd quarter and say "go be great"? Ed could probably get away with that against Southeastern. He doesn't have enough clout to pull such silly shite vs. Miami. Doing that could dig himself an insurmountable hole ALL for the sake of making a backup QB happy.

Ed is going to play politics with public statements. He'll say there is a "competition". Internally though, Burrow is your starter unless he is injured or is OVERWHELMINGLY outplayed in fall camp. The simple truth is that Burrow is not at LSU if he isn't the starter. He could have continued to hold a clipboard at OSU or any number of power conference programs


I know his public comments are for show & I expect Burrow to start. But, we are talking about a guy ( Orgeron) who has questionable qualifications to be a HC. My point is its possible he promised to give one, if not all, the returning QBs every opportunity to be the starter which may include starting on Sept 2nd.

If this is a true race, then he'd better be prepared to start whoever performs the best in practice. Otherwise he'd probably have a locker room problem if say McMillan consistently performs the best in practice but he gives the nod to Burrow because that's what he wanted to do in the first place.

I guess I believe what a lot of people believe, that this is for show and he assumes Burrow will look the best. What if Burrow doesn't look the best? O isn't the best at reacting to the unexpected.
