Why bring him in if you are going to slow it down and mostly hand it off? Hell just leave Burrow in if that’s what you are going to do. You are doing Brennan no favors because he doesn’t get reps running the real offense. You aren’t doing the program any favors because, outside of practice, you don’t know if he can actually run the offense or not.

I agree

Either they’re confident enough with his practice performance to do this

Or they really just don’t care about developing him in game situations

His first play was a pass
He threw 3 times with zero receptions

He threw a few times - one was dropped. Another was a deep ball he overthrew. Its not like he was doing the Miles era hand off up the middle each play.

I agree that they need to continue the offense. But I also don't mind them slowing it down a tad.

I think it has more to do with getting him used to the feeling of taking snaps on the field in a live stadium. Still part of development.

That drop on the slant by McMath might have gone for a TD

Only a couple passes. One drop and then an overthrow. Brennan needs game experience and aburrow does not need an injury in a game already secured. Brennan will get a couple more games to get experience this year

Wrong - Brennan's job is to be the backup and do whatever it takes to learn and develop and be ready in case Burrow gets hurts. In games where the outcome has been decided his most important role is allowing Burrow to be removed and avoid being hurt during meaningless minutes.

No minutes are meaningless for Brennan at this point - do agree it would be nice to see him get a rhythm and sling it a little but he is benefitting from getting live reps regardless.

We aren’t going to throw it all over the place when we bring in our back ups on the road in the sec. He was running our offense that we would be running up 30 in the 4th. He did get a few pass attempts and had a perfect pass dropped. Any live snaps for a qb are better than none.

I agree. Either leave Burrow in and stomp on the throat or let Brennan get in there and air it out.

He had one pass that bounced out of McMath's hands and another throw tipped because Traore failed to cut the DE. The other was a deep throw against tight coverage. Brennan did his job. Unfortunately others didn't execute. The last few times Burrow had the ball you could tell the offense was out of synch.

He's not the answer for us next year I fear. Thoughts?

The only part of the offense that he is getting use to running is getting the snap from center, and handing off. They are not allowing him to learn to run the offense in game situations, even if it is only mop up duty. They could put GJ in to run the shite that MB is running.

I doubt you are a coach.
Putting Brennan in the game gives him experience in the game atmosphere. He will practice running the game plan once he is the starter.
Why would you want Burrow taking hits once the game has been won?

Burrow got zero reps last year running this year’s real offense

The more reps Brennan gets now, the better he will be next year.

Question about Brennan

I guess people don't realize Brennan has more game reps at this point of his career than Burrow had when he got to LSU. So tell me, how many true freshmen that start for their schools have game experiences running the offense (outside of practice) before they are on the field running with first teamers, in games? The worst thing LSU could have done is put Brennan in bad situations and have him getting hit or throwing interceptions. The receivers he was throwing to were not first teamers, they were 2nd and 3rd teamers. And in practice the first teamers get most reps and coaching. They did with Brennan exactly what they needed to do, let him run the offense, manage the offense and run clock. Brennan has a better arm than Burrow and is just as accurate. He doesn't need to run the offense for coaches to know that he can in a game. Tua didn't have much game running the bama offense before he took over for Hurts. Trevor Lawrence had NO game time running Clemson offense before he beat out Kelly Bryant, Tommy Hodson had NO game time running LSU's offense when he won the starting job his Rfr season. You people have no clue what you are talking about. You have NEVER played QB in any type of game, not even in the backyard, definitely not in an organized game. But you put this crap out here thinking you are smart when really you just show how ignorant you are.
