BATON ROUGE — LSU football held its first scrimmage in front of the media at preseason practices Wednesday.
More questions than answers emerged, but there were some notable performances from the quarterbacks, and updates on the offensive line and cornerback rooms.
Here are three observations from Wednesday’s practice.
The quarterbacks
Leading up to the scrimmage portion of practice, Garrett Nussmeier and Jayden Daniels split time with the first- and second-team offenses.
But once the scrimmage began, Daniels had the majority of the first-team reps. He took advantage of it with another strong day that included one notable three-play sequence where he made a first-down throw to Jaray Jenkins, ran for about 15 yards on a read-option design and then found Kayshon Boutte for roughly a 15-yard gain.
“I thought the ball came out of Daniels’ hand really well today, especially with the RPOs,” Kelly said. “It was accurate.”
Nussmeier had some good moments, including a touchdown throw to the back of the endzone to Jenkins toward the end of practice.
But he also wasn’t perfect.
Earlier in the scrimmage on a third-down play inside the red zone, Nussmeier was flushed out of the pocket by two pass rushers and backpedaled due to the pressure. But instead of throwing the ball away or taking a sack, he threw the ball up for grabs off of one foot to the end zone that, fortunately for him, wasn’t intercepted.
