BATON ROUGE, Louisiana. – LSU coach Ed Orgeron says his team is fighting an outbreak of the corona virus and the resulting quarantines that have made it difficult to know if there will be several headlines or regulars for Saturday’s scheduled game against Alabama. No. 1. – or if the game wishes to be postponed.
But Orgeron says he’s sure beginner quarterback Myles Brennan may not be able to play on Saturday due to a stomach injury that knocked the quarterback offside for two games and could lead to the resolve to close Brennan for the rest of the season.
“We’re talking to doctors right now to see what’s most productive for Myles,” Orgeron said at his same press conference on Monday of the week in form. “Whether it’s solving it, making it work now or waiting, I think we’re still discussing it. “
Orgeron did not specify whether Brennan’s two main supporters, freshman academics TJ Finley and Max Johnson, were affected by COVID-19 tests or quarantines, or whether their availability was in doubt.
“We have to see what happens, ” said Orgeron. ” It’s a very fluid situation, but I’ll tell you that we’re very thin in this position. “
Orgeron said he didn’t need to say what his other characteristics were as a quarterback because he didn’t need to reveal his game plan.
While Orgeron was under pressure because he sought to be careful when answering medical questions and did not need to enter the number of players affected by the team’s most recent outbreak, he noted that the challenge exceeded the number of COVID tests. 19 positives. The number of quarantines connected due to imaginable exposures has also lightened its list in recent days, he said.
The SEC asks groups to have at least 53 fellows available, less than that, and to play the scheduled game.
In the middle of the week, LSU hopes to know if the game can still take position this weekend as scheduled, Orgeron said.
“It’s going to be hard, obviously with the boys who came out, ” said Orgeron. “When they tell me we’re in a number or something, we can play or we can’t play, I think it’s up to the leagueArray . . . but right now we’re playing Alabama.
