It's been a rough season in 2025 for the LSU football program , which currently sits with a mediocre record of 6-4 following last week's win over the Arkansas Razorbacks. Quarterback Garrett Nussmeier was out of the lineup for that one due to an abdominal injury, opening the door for backup Michael Van Buren to get the start.

Recently, the Tigers got an update for Nussmeier's status for this week's game against Western Kentucky, and it was not of the positive variety.

“LSU QB Garrett Nussmeier is doubtful this week against Western Kentucky, per interim coach Frank Wilson,” reported Pete Nakos of On3 Sports on X, formerly Twitter. “Sources tell On3 Sports he's currently not expected to play and did not practice Tuesday. Michael Van Buren is in line to get the start.”
