LSU football coach Les Miles said sophomore quarterback Jordan Jefferson will be the starter in Saturday’s game at Washington.
During Monday’s press conference, Miles said he doesn’t expect sophomore quarterback Jarrett Lee to see any playing time against the Huskies.
“There’s not any plans right now to play any quarterback other than Jordan Jefferson,” Miles said. “Only specific situations would call for other play.”
Miles said Jefferson has improved throughout the offseason, and during the team’s 40-play mock game on Aug. 29, Jefferson showed he can handle leading the team at quarterback.
“For a guy that’s very talented for us, we can ask him to do a lot,” Miles said. “It’s going to be something he’ll be able to handle very comfortably.”
Miles also said that freshman Craig Loston might see some playing time during the trip. The Houston native was academically cleared to join the team last week and practiced with the team for the first time on Aug. 24.
“We might get him some snaps in special teams this Saturday,” Miles said.
