It would be hard to argue coach [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] hasn’t done an impressive job through two seasons at LSU.
The Tigers have turned in back-to-back 10-win campaigns, including an SEC West title in his first season. But as LSU prepares for Kelly’s third season, it’s expected to take a leap into College Football Playoff contention, especially with the postseason expanding to 12 teams.
Quarterback [autotag]Garrett Nussmeier[/autotag], who will take over for [autotag]Jayden Daniels[/autotag], believes this team is capable of taking such a leap and told reporters at the Manning Passing Academy that things feel “different” in 2024.
“It’s just the culture that I think we continue to try to build,” Nussmeier said. “And so this offseason, it’s just different. It just feels different around the building, and I think we have more of a mindset that it’s time for us to handle what we need to handle.
“Ten wins isn’t good enough anymore.”
LSU will hope it can take a leap this fall despite suffering key losses on both sides of the ball, but it’s clear Nussmeier is confident in the pieces on the roster.
