Ed Orgeron Was Asked If They Will Evaluate The Starting QB Position During The Bye Week

Ed Orgeron was asked Monday if he would take look at the starting quarterback position during the bye week after Garrett Nussmeier came in for Max Johnson during the 4th quarter of last week's 31-17 loss to Ole Miss.

Here's what he said:

"Max (Johnson) is still our starting quarterback," Orgeron said. "He was a little beat up, he got hit. You know he made a tremendous play to Trey Palmer. He took a big hit and was getting some hits in there. I just wanted to give him a break and get Garrett (Nussmeier) some time."

"I told Garrett I would give him some time. But Max is still our starting quarterback but if there is a chance for us to give Garrett some time in there, some quality reps, then we will."

Nussmeier came into the Ole Miss game with the Tigers trailing 31-10 and led LSU on a 14 play, 51-yard drive that resulted in a field goal. The true freshman followed that up with a 6-play, 80-yard drive that resulted in his first career touchdown pass to Malik Nabers.
