LSU Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier Benched Against Alabama
LSU's offense has been struggling, leading to a change at quarterback during the game against Alabama. Fifth-year senior Garrett Nussmeier was replaced by sophomore Michael Van Buren.
Van Buren, who transferred from Mississippi State this offseason, took over as quarterback in relief. Before being taken out, Nussmeier completed 18 of 21 passes for 121 yards, averaging 5.8 yards per attempt. LSU trails Alabama 17-6 at the time of the substitution.
This marks the second consecutive game Nussmeier has been replaced late in the match by Van Buren, following a similar decision in LSU’s loss to Texas A&M.
