Frank Wilson made the decision to bench quarterback Garrett Nussmeier in the second half of LSU‘s loss to Alabama on Saturday night.
Nussmeier had a rough go of it against the Crimson Tide — he threw for 121 yards on 21 attempts and struggled mightily on third down before being lifted for Michael Van Buren.
After the game, Wilson commended Nussmeier for how he handled that decision.
“He was a great teammate,” Wilson told reporters. “He was supportive of his teammate. He stayed engaged.”
Wilson added he hasn’t considered how LSU will approach the quarterback position for the remainder of the season.

— Jerit Roser (@JeritRoser) November 9, 2025Nussmeier is out of collegiate eligibility at the end of this year. He spent all 5 seasons of his college career at LSU, including the last 2 as the Tigers’ starter.

LSU will play Arkansas, Western Kentucky and Oklahoma to end the season.
