WAFB - Myles Brennan started the first three games of the season and put up impressive numbers. However, he took a big hit in the game against Missouri on Oct. 10 and despite finishing the game, was unable to take a snap for the rest of the season. He finished with 1,112 yards passing for 11 touchdowns with three interceptions. He was also sacked nine times.

Ponchatoula native and true freshman TJ Finley then started the next five games. He had a very solid first outing in a rout over South Carolina and led a game-winning drive against Arkansas but struggled against Auburn, No. 5 Texas A&M, and No. 1 Alabama. He finished with 941 yards passing for five touchdowns with five interceptions. He took seven sacks.

The other true freshman, Max Johnson, led LSU to wins over No. 6 Florida and Ole Miss. He had 1,069 yards passing for eight touchdowns with only one interception. He also rushed for 119 yards and two touchdowns.

As the old saying goes, three is a crowd. Many wonder whether Brennan, Finley, and Johnson will all make it to spring ball. It is not even known right now what the structure of spring football will look like or if there will be a spring game in Tiger Stadium.

Open qb competition is the only answer. May the best man win.

Yea but I don’t see the point in at least going through spring. I think after that they will have a clear idea of who are the top 2. You will have to stay at LSU until the end of the semester anyway.

I don’t see TJ staying unless he makes some massive improvements on his touch and decision making. He’s got a great fastball, but everything else leaves a lot to be desired. Max can manage the game better at this point.

Pathetic. They basically summarized this board and put it out as an article.

I remember when one of the local writers put out a shite article saying Terrance Magee should transfer, that he would never get playing time. Then he was one of the top RBs on the team that yet.

These morons need to stay out of the opinion business and get back to reporting facts, which they are pretty bad at as it is.

Yeah maybe if you’re on a date? This isn’t a get together with friends, it’s an open competition. I’m not saying no one will transfer, but what stupid logic

“Many wonder”? No. Not many are wondering that. That’s just shite stirring, plain and simple. Brennan is going to be the favorite to start if healthy and Finley and Johnson will be true freshmen again next season. WAY too early for “many” to “wonder” about people returning. News gotta make news.

Honestly I would say the only given is Max.

At this point we don't know how serious Brennan's injury is. There was some talk of a career ending injury, but that may have just been rumor.

TJ may decide to transfer thinking he is 3rd behind Max and Brennan; however, if Myles can't come back he's back in the mix. I hope he sticks it out. At least battle through the spring to see where you stand.

I'm really excited about Nuss, but I think he needs a full year in the S&C program to be ready for SEC punishment.

I hope they're all healthy and ready to battle it out. Competition will make them all better.

It’s 4 if you count Nuss. I doubt we keep all 4.

They won’t all make it

But that’s a good thing. It means the QB spot is looking up
