Recently, Ohio State graduate transfer QB Joe Burrow won the starting job at LSU, and he’ll take the field for his first start against Miami on Sunday night.
Many in Baton Rouge are excited to see him in action, and among those eager for Sunday’s game is LSU AD Joe Alleva.
On Tuesday, Alleva said he thinks Burrow is going to be outstanding, but added that he thinks the Tigers also have another talented quarterback in backup Myles Brennan (via The Advocate):
“I think Joe Burrow is going to be an outstanding quarterback,” said Alleva, who played quarterback at Lehigh University in 1975. “But I’ll tell you this, Myles Brennan is not far behind. Myles has got a rocket for an arm. Joe runs a little bit better.”
The Tigers have already lost QBs Justin McMillan and Lowell Narcisse this month, so they need to hope either Burrow or Brennan pans out.
The Week 1 game vs. Miami won’t be easy, but it’ll be important for Burrow to make a good first impression.
