LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier , coming off his first career start at Tiger Stadium, demonstrated his determination to help LSU bounce back from a tough loss in Week 1 with a standout performance in Week 2. Nussmeier completed 27 of 37 attempts for 302 yards and threw six touchdowns in the 44-21 victory over Nicholls.
Tony Sink writes: "Regarding scoring, the LSU Tigers are averaging 32.0 points per game. As a team they are averaging 90.5 yards in the run game giving them a rank of 113th in Division 1. The Tigers have earned 803 total yards over the course of this season. When it comes to scoring touchdowns, LSU has totaled 8 passing touchdowns and 0 touchdown on the ground. LSU has tallied 45 first downs as a team, and they have committed 17 infractions for 140 yards."
Staff writes: "The Gamecocks are better than most thought they would be, and the Tigers haven’t looked as good as they can. It comes down to Nussmeier playing at a very high level. He shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the South Carolina crowd, will control the game, and has the weapons to hurt this Gamecocks defense that was surprisingly good against Kentucky. It won’t be easy, but LSU gets it done on the road."
