While the annual Spring Game is largely considered a ‘glorified scrimmage’, LSU coach Ed Orgeron doesn’t take lightly the way his players performed on Saturday. 
LSU faces off against Miami in exactly 134 days and the Tigers have a lot of work to do. Orgeron warned the media and fans prior to the game that the offense is far from finished and just a very small amount of the playbook has been instilled. 
Three quarterbacks – Justin McMillan, Lowell Narcisse and Myles Brennan – all rotated under center and it seems as though the gap is just getting tighter between them. 
Despite some ups and downs, as expected, these players were shining spots for Orgeron’s team: 
Justin McMillan: While Orgeron will leave the quarterback competition open heading into the fall, McMillan made a big jump ahead of the group with his performance on Saturday. With the most experience being a junior, Orgeron said that McMillan is playing with the most confidence of the three and it shows in the way he plays. McMillan completed 14-of-29 passes on 216 yards with one touchdown pass. For Orgeron, choosing a starting quarterback will rely a lot on the ability to be mobile and escape pressure. While the quarterbacks could not be tackled in the game, McMillan still showed he’s capable of using his feet to make plays and work around pressure. 
Justin Jefferson: The sophomore wide receiver has stood out to Orgeron and his staff during the entire spring, but Jefferson was great on Saturday. His one-handed 94-yard touchdown catch was easily the most impressive play of the day. Jefferson was one of the most reliable wide outs for quarterbacks Justin McMillan, Lowell Narcisse and Myles Brennan. As if Jefferson didn’t already have a starting position locked down, Saturday proved why he should. 
Clyde Edwards-Helaire: The sophomore simply shined at running back for LSU. Edwards-Helaire had 14 carries on 17 yards and proved just how good he is at running in space and finding gaps. Like a former LSU back, Derrius Guice, Edwards-Helaire is very physical and almost impossible to take down. Orgeron said that the former Catholic High standout is the most ‘explosive’ running back on the team. 
K’Lavon Chaisson: It was hard to miss edge rusher K’Lavon Chaisson on the field Saturday. Coming out of the shadows of Arden Key, the sophomore was the most dominant player for the LSU defense. If players were able to sack, Orgeron said that Chaisson would have had about five sacks. Chaisson was, however, credited with one sack. Chaisson will be a threat to any opposing quarterback he faces this fall with his ability to come off the edge.
