Who’s going to line up at quarterback for LSU’s season-opener? Returning starter Danny Etling seems likely, but Tigers coach Ed Orgeron still isn’t saying for sure.

He said Etling is the most likely starter but the race is still on, as reported by Baton Rouge TV station WAFB.

#LSU Coach O says Danny Etling will "probably" take the first snap vs BYU, but it's not over. Lowell Narcisse "right there" for #2 spot.

It’s one more indication that freshmen Myles Brennan and Lowell Narcisse are making up ground and preventing the senior incumbent from locking down the job outright.
