Nussmeier tosses a career-high 409 passing yards, propels the Bayou Bengals to a Week 5 victory in Death Valley.
No. 14 LSU moves to 4-1 on the season after capturing a 42-10 victory over the South Alabama Jaguars on Saturday night in Tiger Stadium.
On the first play of the game, LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier connected with Durham on a screen pass with the track speed on full display after the reception. LSU offensive coordinator Joe Sloan went deep into his bag of tricks all night to get down the field then kept it simple to get the Tigers in the end-zone.
The Tigers went with a heavy dose of Nussmeier to Aaron Anderson on meaningful plays with the redshirt-sophomore ending the day with 73 yards and a touchdown on six receptions alongside Kyren Lacy. Fast forward to the second half and the Jaguars got in the end-zone on their first drive of the game led by the rushing attack of Kentrel Bullock to get inside LSU territory. From there, it was South Alabama quarterback Gio Lopez dropping a dime to Anthony Eager for the 27-yard touchdown pass. It was the only touchdown the Tigers gave up all night.
