The LSU football team concluded its spring practices Saturday with the 2021 edition of the annual L Club Spring Football Game, which was won by the White team 23-14.
With LSU short on healthy scholarship running backs the quarterbacks were the stars of the spring game and Myles Brennan and Max Johnson both made compelling cases to be the starter come September 4 against UCLA.
Brennan, Johnson, TJ Finley and Garrett Nussmeier all rotated among the two teams. Brennan, the starter for the White team, completed 12 of 20 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown, Johnson, the Purple team’s starting quarterback, was 11-17 for 180 yards and two scores. Finley was 10 of 18 for 84 yards but also threw a pair of interceptions. Nussmeier was 15 of 25 for 132 yards and threw a touchdown, but also showed his youth with three interceptions. All told the quarterbacks combined for 512 passing yards and four touchdowns.
