LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier had a solid 2024 season, leading the team to ranked wins and showcasing NFL-level throws. While experiencing some inconsistency and a three-game skid, Nussmeier showed potential for growth. He has decided to return for the 2025 season.
Comparisons have been drawn between Nussmeier's 2024 stats and Joe Burrow's 2018 season at LSU. Both quarterbacks averaged 7.7 yards per attempt and had similar QBR ratings. While Burrow had better ball security, Nussmeier demonstrated strong sack avoidance. Despite differences in passing yards, these parallels suggest promise for Nussmeier's upcoming season.
