Ahead of No. 14 Texas A&M’s Week 9 primetime home matchup against 8th-ranked LSU, Tigers starting quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, one of the top signal callers in the country after waiting his turn the last two years, discussed his first career start inside what could be a sold out Kyle Field.
Back in June, Nussmeier’s opinion of Kyle Field’s overall impact was that of most of the Aggies’ competitors, who want to look unaffected by any crowd until the results tell another story.
“Kyle Field is loud, I’ll give them that, but it’s not Death Valley.”
However, he now knows after likely watching Missouri quarterback Brady Cook’s mistake of downplaying the Stadium’s impact after falling 41-10 in Week 6.
“Obviously we acknowledge that it’s going to be a tough envrionment, it’s gonna be loud and exciting.”
Nussmeier referenced the “one game at a time” mentality that led to the Tiger’s comeback win over Ole Miss, knowing that Texas A&M’s defense would be ready to adjust when necessary.
The winner of Saturday’s game will more than likely stay atop the SEC standings for the rest of the regular season unless late-season lapses occur, making this one of the most important games of the year for both squads.
Texas A&M will host LSU at home on Saturday, Oct. 26th, at 6:30 p.m. CT. The game will air on ABC.
