The weather wasn’t the only thing that didn’t go according to plan for the LSU Tigers during their spring game on Saturday night.

While rival Alabama’s spring game turned into a high-flying shootout, LSU’s quarterbacks failed to keep pace. Last year’s starter, Danny Etling, struggled, as did Justin McMillan, Lindsey Scott and Lowell Narcisse.

Coach Ed Orgeron credited the defense for a strong performance, but admitted that the passing game is nowhere near where it needs to be this spring.

During his postgame press conference, Orgeron said the Tigers won’t be naming a starter any time soon based on Saturday’s performances.

“The quarterback competition is open, and it is going to stay open until somebody proves they are our No. 1 quarterback,” he said.

He doubled down on that statement when asked about presumed starter Danny Etling’s 4-for-11 night in the scrimmage.

“Here is the deal,” he said. “Nobody has earned the starting spot and you saw that tonight. If we had to name a starter tonight, it is not a clear-cut winner. Most of the spring, Danny (Etling) has been better. Underneath the pressure, the guys did not perform the way we wanted them to, so they are going to have to show me who is able to perform under pressure to be the LSU quarterback.”

The Tigers will get a big boost to their quarterback group when 4-star signee Myles Brennan joins the mix, but it would still be shocking if Etling doesn’t enter the 2017 season as the starter.

But, if Brennan comes in and does what Tua Tagovailoa did for Alabama this spring, there could be calls for the true freshman to take over.
