LSU football put up a fight for most of the game vs. Alabama, but the offense couldn't get it done. Did LSU earn any votes in the US LBM Coaches Poll?

Tyler Venables has been at Clemson since 2020 when Brent Venables was still the Tigers' defensive coordinator.

LSU interim head coach Frank Wilson benched Nussmeier in the third quarter of the Tigers’ game at Alabama in Week 11. The senior signal-caller exited the contest after completing 18-of-21 passes (85.7%) for 121 yards. His final play was a 14-yard sack on 3rd-and-Goal that led to a field goal attempt.

It wasn’t that long ago that LSU was beating Clemson to allegedly announce itself as a contender for the College Football Playoff. That same week, Alabama lost to Florida State, putting head coach Kalen DeBoer in one of the hottest seats in the country.

LSU and Florida declined to commit to Garrett Nussmeier or DJ Lagway for next week, keeping a true QB battle alive.
