Kirk Herbstreit Defends Myles Brennan On Podcast, 'Cut Him Some Slack"

quote:

I want to give Myles Brennan and this offense a chance to just kind of get through a game or two. And you imagine the shoes that he stepped into, in that stadium? That is tough. And now you've got fans that are going to be like, 'This guy sucks. I mean, what are we doing with this guy?' And they need to just take a deep breath and be realistic. Unfortunately, they can't do that. Fans can't do that with what they saw last year. And it might not get, eventually, to that — they might get to where they're executing better. But cut Myles Brennan some slack, man. That is a tough ask."

Brennan completed 27 of 46 passes (58.7 percent) for 345 yards and three touchdowns to two interceptions. Head coach Ed Orgeron defended Brennan during a halftime interview in the end zone with CBS reporter Jamie Erdahl.

"He's running around for his life back there," Orgeron said. "We're not protecting very well. He had some drops. I don't think he's played that bad."
