Former Alabama quarterback, AJ McCarron feels the Crimson Tide are facing the best throwing quarterback in the SEC in Garrett Nussmeier this weekend.
McCarron is a fan of what the LSU signal caller can do and feels there is no one else in the SEC ‘like him.’
“I think LSU is going to put up points,” McCarron said on the McCready & Siskey Podcast. “They got too many weapons out wide. I think they got the best quarterback in the SEC, throwing wise. Is he going to make some mistakes? Is he going to force some balls? Of course. He’s still a young guy, first year starter, but the way he throws with anticipation, timing, touch on the ball, there’s nobody else in the SEC like him. I don’t care. I’ve watched enough quarterbacks. I know the game, I know the position and I’m telling you, he is absolutely elite when it comes to that. I think Nuss could have a big day.”
Nussmeier has thrown for 2,627 yards and 20 touchdowns while throwing nine interceptions through eight games.
Alabama’s defense will be challenge with slowing down the LSU passing attack in the biggest game of the season for them to this point.
