Garrett Nussmeier ’s start to the season hasn’t matched the hype. The LSU QB, pegged as a Heisman hopeful, has struggled through 3 games. Although he’s completed 69 of 106 passes, with three TDs, 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.
