LSU football coach Brian Kelly says Garrett Nussmeier will play Saturday night against Southeastern Louisiana despite a torso injury. It’s an injury Nussmeier suffered during preseason camp and Kelly says Nuss is feeling better.

“You know, we dialed back practice. We dialed back what we were doing to make sure that we protected him. But he’s now on the other side of it, because we were able to do that,” Kelly said.

Despite forcing five turnovers on Saturday, LSU’s offense only scored 13 points in the win over Florida. The offense played well against Clemson, but the last two weeks it’s been a struggle. Kelly expects the offense will improve.

“We’re better in November than we are in September, offensively, with the kind of defense that we can play and we know that we will play. It’s going to be a really good football team,” Kelly said.
