Bayou Brew 8/27: The Case For Nussmeier
ESPN explored the top candidates for this year's Heisman Trophy, and LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier figures prominently on the list.
It’s football week, LSU Fam. With only three days left until the LSU football season, all eyes are on this promising squad—especially QB Garrett Nussmeier. ESPN explored the top candidates for this year's Heisman Trophy, and LSU’s signal-caller figures prominently on the list.
ESPN’s Pamela Maldonado writes, “This is the classic case of opportunity meeting uncertainty. LSU will throw it a ton, and Brian Kelly has never been shy about letting his quarterback light it up … He already showed he can pile up stats, with more than 4,000 yards passing last season, but now the expectations are higher. Can Nussmeier be the guy who pushes LSU past nine wins and into the national conversation?”

Thoughts, LSU Fam?

Feel-good stories on cutdown day: the Buccaneers had three undrafted free agents — RB Josh Williams, OT Benjamin Chukwuma and LB John Bullock — earn spots on their 53-man roster. Bullock was a former walk-on LB at Nebraska like Bucs GM Jason Licht.

🔼 Forward Thinking. LSU Athletics and Taymar Sales U. have signed a multiyear extension for the firm to continue partnering on ticket sales with LSU and the Tiger Athletic Foundation (TAF).
“Their team has consistently delivered results by not only identifying new ticket buyers but also enhancing the experience for our existing season ticket holders, which has been key to our retention efforts,” said Brian Broussard, LSU Associate Athletic Director for Ticket Sales and Operations.
