Garrett Nussmeier says this LSU team will be explosive and fun to watch

Garrett Nussmeier has patiently waited for three years to become the starting quarterback for LSU. He had a star-making performance in Tampa this past January when he earned MVP of the ReliaQuest Bowl.

Earlier in training camp he met with the media and shared his thoughts about taking over the starting role and expectations for the season.

On the training camp experience

Garrett: I love camp. A month of just spending time with your teammates and being around each other 24/7. And getting to play football…Anybody would dream of being out here and we get that opportunity.

Thoughts on this years offense

Garrett: I think we’re a very, very close knit group. I think we’ve meshed together very well from the Spring to Summer to now. I think we’ve done an outstanding job coming together, of establishing our identity of who we want to be. I think we’re going to be explosive and very physical. And it’s going to be something that’s fun to watch.

Has training camp felt different knowing that you’re the starter?

Garrett: There’s a different dynamic going from the back up to the starter. But I feel like I’m just taking the same approach, just trying to lead and be vocal. Be an uplifting spirit, keep the guys going.
