Ed Orgeron spoke to the media on Monday and was asked about quarterback Max Johnson and whether or not he could start vs. Florida this Saturday.

Q. Is there any advantage to getting Max Johnson a start in a game, knowing he's going to be the full-time starter in a week?

ED ORGERON: Yeah, I think that's something we're going to give consideration to this week, look at it. I thought Max played really well. I thought also TJ did some things. That's something we're going to give consideration for this week.
