Brian Kelly and Co. drop another season opener, Garrett Nussmeier shines in the loss.
Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers dropped their Week 1 showdown against No. 23 USC 27-20 in another Week 1 thriller for the program.
It was simply a surgical performance from the veteran quarterback. He's patiently waited his turn to showcase his talents with Week 1 against USC providing him the opportunity. Nussmeier took Sunday by storm after showcasing his growing decision making. Taylor proved he'd become a reliable weapon for Nussmeier during Fall Camp. The connection grew last month and it carried into Week 1 against USC after Taylor ended the day with seven receptions for 62 yards on Sunday.
All in all, it was a disaster for LSU on the ground with the program losing the battle in the trenches on Sunday. The Tigers abandoned the passing game, went with the rushing attack, and were unable to get yards on the ground despite Emery's 61 yards on 10 carries.
