Can USC pounce if Garrett Nussmeier makes poor decisions for LSU?

Recently on our USC show at The Voice of College Football, we sat down with Matt Moscona from LouisanaSports.net. He shared with us Garrett Nussmeier’s biggest strength and weakness going into the USC-LSU game.  Nussmeier, like his Trojan counterpart Miller Moss, is a veteran in his program who has waited patiently behind a Heisman Trophy winner for his shot to start this season.

Moscona explains that Nussmeier is an NFL prospect with measurables and skills to play the position at a high level. However, that reality has both helped and hindered his play. Moscona expressed concern with the Tiger quarterback’s decision making and his ability to take care of the ball.  Moscona is also quick to point out that LSU head coach Brian Kelly dismissed the lapses as mistakes that were made in “mop-up duty,” when the game was already decided. It remains a concern for Moscona until he sees better decision making from the veteran but unproven quarterback.

Have a listen below to the 25:54 mark of our discussion with Moscona, who dives deeper into Nussmeier’s strengths and weaknesses during our weekly Trojan Conquest Live show on the USC Voice of College Football:
