We are turning the page and getting ready for the 2024 football season.
With that, Brian Kelly and the Tigers are preparing to trot out onto the field with a new quarterback at the helm. Garrett Nussmeier will take over as the new QB as Jayden Daniels is headed to the NFL. Nussmeier got his first start as a Tiger against Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest Bowl and after starting slow he got hot at the end of the game.
Nussmeier finished the game 31-for-45 as he threw for 395 yards, three touchdowns, and one interception as he led the Tigers to a 35-31 win over the Badgers. Kelly recently stated that he sees traits of Daniels in Nussmeier.
“Certainly, again I don’t think you win a game on athleticism,” Kelly said, per On3. “You have to have the things necessary to overcome a deficit, overcome being a first-time starter. You can’t just get by on arm talent. You’ve got to be a guy that’s confident in your ability, has a great process that he trusts.”
“So he’s got a lot of the same traits that Jayden does, obviously he doesn’t run and has the escapability, you didn’t see any of that today where Jayden created a lot of yards for us there. But Nuss can do it in other ways and I think he’s gonna continue to do that for us.”
Nussmeier will have the weapons around him in 2024 to make a huge splash in the college football world.
