Garrett Nussmeier’s start to the season hasn’t matched the hype. The LSU QB, pegged as a Heisman hopeful, has struggled through three games. He’s completed 69 of 106 passes for 689 yards, with three TDs: solid numbers, but far from dominant. “Clicking on all cylinders is our biggest goal,” said Nussmeier. “Lining up right, running the right plays, me being better with my feet and my eyes… We haven’t shown what we can be yet. It’s frustrating.” And part of the reason: a torso injury he suffered in Fall Camp, revealed by Brian Kelly on Monday. Although LSU’s defense has carried the team so far, the offense and Nussmeier will need to step up if the Tigers want to keep their undefeated streak alive. Here’s the latest on Garrett’s health.
Aaron Rodgers’ brother, Jordan Rodgers, dropped some insight on the broadcast about Garrett Nussmeier’s injury. Nussmeier reportedly aggravated an abdominal muscle early in fall camp. The issue flared up again against Clemson, limiting his effectiveness. It’s a small tweak that’s had a big impact. The Tigers’ offense has felt the strain, and now all eyes are on Nussmeier to see if he can bounce back.
