  LSU football coach Ed Orgeron may be down to two scholarship quarterbacks with the injury to Myles Brennan this week, but that does not mean his offensive strategy will be overly protective of starter Max Johnson. "I think you have to do the things that you have to do to win just like we did with Joe," Orgeron said in reference to former quarterback Joe Burrow, who often ran with reckless abandon in 2018 and '19. "We ran quarterback draws with Joe. He scrambled. He made plays with his feet against Georgia (SEC Championship Game win in 2019). He made plays when he had to," Orgeron said after LSU's first practice of the preseason Friday.

LSU had three scholarship quarterbacks in 2019 with Brennan behind Burrow, but the third one was inexperienced true freshman Peter Parrish. "I think you have to limit things. Max wants to be a drop-back quarterback. We talked about that. I don't think we're going to have 15 different quarterback runs," Orgeron said. "He's a passer, but there's some things that we have to do to challenge the defense to win the game." Johnson rushed 18 times for 52 yards while completing 21 of 36 passes for 239 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-34 win at No. 6 Florida last season in his first collegiate start. - Lafayette Daily Advertiser
