During the SEC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday, head coach Ed Orgeron said that Joe Burrow's consistency throughout fall camp is the reason why he was named LSU's starter.

"It was very close but overall but he was the most consistent quarterback throughout the whole camp," Orgeron said.

Orgeron also explained that since LSU was installing a new offense, Burrow was not behind when he arrived this summer.

“Joe is very smart,” Orgeron said. “We knew that when we recruited him. He’s a tireless worker. It was an advantage for him that we were putting in a new offense, so he wasn't that far behind anybody else. He was there for the first day of installation for a lot of this offense."

He also added that backup QB Myles Brennan needs to be ready to play in case anything happens.

"Myles is one play away," Orgeron said. "We expect him to be ready to play if called upon. Both quarterbacks are prepared."
