LSU QB Nussmeier Shows Improvement Post-Abdominal Injury Ahead of South Carolina Game

LSU football, currently ranked No. 11, is looking to overcome offensive struggles as they prepare for a crucial matchup against South Carolina. Head coach Brian Kelly provided optimistic injury updates, confirming that quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, recovering from a torso injury, is cleared to play, along with key players running back Caden Durham and offensive lineman Weston Davis, while wide receiver Aaron Anderson is probable. Nussmeier had been limited during LSU’s bye week to focus on recovery but remained engaged with the team virtually, with Kelly emphasizing the importance of improved and consistent offensive play. Despite offensive challenges, LSU is favored to win by 9.5 points in their upcoming game, which is seen as pivotal for revitalizing their season trajectory. Kelly also highlighted efforts to synchronize the offense and defense while building a more efficient running game behind a three-headed backfield. These developments come as LSU aims to regain momentum following a narrow loss to Ole Miss and strengthen its chances in SEC competition.
