LSU Tigers begin spring practice with open quarterback competition

LSU began spring football practice Tuesday with sophomore Max Johnson taking the first-team reps at quarterback.

But coach Ed Orgeron told reporters that there's no favorite and that all the quarterbacks took equal reps.

"The competition is open," he said. "Let the best man win."

Myles Brennan, a junior, started the first three games last season before an abdominal injury sidelined him the rest of the year. The Mississippi native threw for 11 touchdowns and three interceptions during that time, going 1-2 as the starter.

Orgeron said Tuesday that Brennan appeared to be 100% healthy.
