No. 13 LSU starts the post-Jayden Daniels era with Garrett Nussmeier making his first career start at quarterback against Wisconsin in Monday's ReliaQuest Bowl. The sophomore is 17 of 33 passing for 196 yards and one touchdown in six games this season. Daniels, the 2023 Heisman Trophy winner, opted out to prepare for the NFL draft but will watch the game from the sideline. Daniels led the nation in total offense (412.4 yards), touchdowns (40), and rushing yards by a quarterback (1,134). The Wisconsin defense is 18th-ranked nationally in scoring defense at 18.9 points.
