Ed Orgeron praises Patrick Queen, simplified offense in LSU's win over Rice

Ed Orgeron checked a lot of boxes in LSU’s 42-10 win over Rice, including clearing his bench and watching everyone from seniors to young players get in the game.

QB Joe Burrow passed for 307 yards, a career high, and he was relieved by Myles Brennan, who entered in the third quarter. Brennan, who hadn’t played previously this season, can still redshirt.

Entering next week’s game at Texas A&M, Orgeron was pleased to see more confidence on offense.

Here’s what he told reporters after the game:

Orgeron on offense: We simplified. We did the things we could do well…Run the ball. Play action pass. Deep passes. Protect the quarterback.

Orgeron said the move to the outside from Patrick Queen was to add more playmaking and more juice to the edge of #LSU’s defense.
