Baton Rouge, La. – In the second series of LSU’s game against Missouri, LSU Quarterback Myles Brennan was shaken up after a big hit on a scramble to the Mizzou 2-yard line.
His 2020 regular season would take a turn for the worst two plays later.
“It was the touchdown pass to Terrace right on the goal line,” said Brennan. “The defensive lineman landed on my back and I just kind of felt everything just tear apart at that point.”
Brennan says he finished the game for his teammates, throwing for 430 yards and 4 touchdowns in a losing effort.
“Adrenaline did have a lot to do with it but also the fight within myself had a lot to do with it as well,” Brennan said. “We finished as strong as we possibly could and then I went and got some medical attention after that.”
An ordeal that would become a months-long roller coaster ride. Brennan’s MRI was sent to several medical professionals that handled abdominal injuries.
“No one had ever seen an injury like this, in this exact spot that I had it,” said Brennan.
Max Johnson closed out the 2020 regular season 2-0 as LSU’s starting quarterback.
So far this spring, LSU Head Coach Ed Orgeron says Johnson has taken first-team reps, but the Quarterback competition is open.
Brennan says he will use this time to better his game and everything else will follow.
