Garrett Nussmeier will lead LSU's offense against Clemson on Saturday. The quarterback said that the game will serve as a stern test for the visitors.
“It’s going to be a hostile environment, a storied program with a cool atmosphere. For me, it’s about embracing the opportunity to go into an arena like that and try to silence the crowd," Nussmeier said on Tuesday.
"We’ve played in big-time places, Texas A&M, South Carolina, Florida. It’s nothing new, but their place is definitely one of those.”
Nussmeier also discussed how LSU coach Brian Kelly has been preparing his team for the blockbuster matchup against Clemson.
“Confidence. Coach Kelly mentioned it, too. It’s a real confidence because of the work we’ve put in. We’re not just saying we’ve worked harder, we’ve done the right things that set us up to win," Nussmeier said.
"With the '1–0' message everywhere, it’s engraved in us. We have full confidence we’ll go handle business.”
Meanwhile, Cade Klubnik will start as Clemson's quarterback for the Week 1 game.
