"First of all, reason we opened up (the competition) is we have a new offense. I wanted to give a pro-style quarterback a chance, dual-threat quarterback a chance, give (offensive coordinator) Matt (Canada) a chance to see what these guys can do, an open lane to run the plays he wants to do and feel free to have success," Orgeron said.

"Danny has practiced with the first team. Nobody has beaten him out yet. Guys are very close," the coach continued. "We still haven't seen Myles Brennan. Danny's a guy who can go into the game, manage the game, make the short throws, make the checks, be a leader out there, have great pocket awareness. Those are the things we want him to do. He's also very good at throwing the deep ball."
