He probably will not have Myles Brennan (abdomen) at quarterback versus Alabama, but Ed Orgeron still feels good about Louisiana State University next week against the Crimson Tide.
LSU has looked at true freshmen TJ Finley and Max Johnson at quarterback; however, Brennan has the most experience.
Despite the Tigers being 2-3 and not looking like a defending national champion, Orgeron told reporters in Wednesday’s Southeastern Conference Coaches Teleconference that his team is still engaged. When it comes to keeping players motivated, he used the idea of the Tide being next on its schedule. After earning a 46-41 victory last season at Bryant-Denny Stadium, Orgeron entered the locker room and told his players that LSU would defeat Alabama in everything from that moment on.
