LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier is looking to get back on track after a rough two-game stretch. The LSU starter has thrown five interceptions in his last six quarters of football and only Georgia’s Carson Beck has more picks on the year.

Brian Kelly spoke to the media on Thursday and said Nussmeier was dialed in all week, hinting at a big performance from Nussmeier when LSU travels to face the Florida Gators in week 12.

“I’ve spent a lot of time with (Nussmeier) this week,” Kelly said, “I think he’s been thoughtful, intentional, he’s taken leadership. I just like the way he’s locked in this week.”

Kelly said, in his experience, when a QB is this locked in, you want to tune in.

The LSU head coach remains confident in his QB amid the rough patch. Kelly isn’t one to make grand declarations unless he believes it’ll come to fruition on Saturday.

Florida’s defense provides LSU a chance to get back on track. The Gator’s defense will have the benefit of a home crowd, but the secondary is one of the worst in the country when it comes to allowing explosive plays through the air.

“He’s gonna have a heck of a game,” Kelly said.
