LSU football coach Brian Kelly says Garrett Nussmeier will play Saturday night against Southeastern Louisiana. Kelly said on the SEC coaches web conference that Nussmeier is on the other side of his torso injury and this week is an opportunity for him. Kelly also said Nussmeier has been able to do things in practice this week that he hasn’t done in the last month.
Lions coach Frank Scelfo told reporters this week that Nussmeier will challenge his defense and had lots of praise for the veteran quarterback.
The Lions are coming off a 56-3 win over Mississippi Valley State. S-L-U played two quarterbacks and threw for 312 yards and five touchdowns.
After a slow start, Saints quarterback Spencer Rattler played well last Sunday in the 26-21 loss to San Francisco. Rattler completed 25-of-his-34 passes for 207 yards and three touchdowns. On the Saints coaches show on the Saints Radio Network, Kellen Moore says he is excited about Rattler and the other quarterbacks development.
