  08/30/25 - QB Garrett NussmeierrSr/2026, LSU

  Garrett Nussmeier threw a go-ahead 8-yard touchdown pass to Trey'Dez Green in the fourth quarter, and No. 9 LSU rallied past fourth-ranked Clemson 17-10 on Saturday night for its first season-opening win since 2019, when Joe Burrow led the Tigers to an undefeated season and a national championship. Nussmeier, who eclipsed 4,000 yards passing in his first year as a starter in 2024 after biding his time behind Jayden Daniels, got better as game went on, throwing for 134 of his 230 yards in the second half while leading two touchdown drives. Caden Durham rushed for 74 yards and a touchdown for LSU. LSU, retooled with a highly touted class of transfers, showed the mental and physical toughness that coach Brian Kelly was seeking after trailing 10-3 at the half.

LSU's stifling defense limited first-team preseason Associated Press All-America quarterback Cade Klubnik to 19-of-38 passing for 230 yards and an interception. With 4 1/2 minutes left, Clemson got the ball with a chance to tie the game but failed to manage a single first down with Klubnik under constant pressure. LSU couldn't capitalize and had to punt the ball back, giving Clemson one more shot with 1:54 remaining. Klubnik got Clemson to the LSU 15 before a hurried pass on fourth-and-4 fell incomplete with a defender in his face. It didn't help that Clemson lost star wide receiver Antonio Williams, a second-team preseason AP All-American, to an injury early in the first quarter. It was expected to be a high-scoring matchup featuring a pair of Heisman Trophy hopefuls at QB and two of the nation's top offenses from a year ago. - AP College Football
