Middle of the first team o-line is having some real struggles blocking the run. Nussmeier doing a nice job behind center, has offense inside the redzone for first time today.
Garrett Nussmeier now getting some first team reps. Immediately completes a 21-yard pass to Kevontre Bradford out of the backfield. Followed it up by dropping a beautiful pass to Jaray Jenkins down the field but Jenkins couldn't quite pull it in. Offense will punt.
Four series in and there's clear dominance being shown by this defensive line. Maason Smith, BJ Ojulari both have sacks, as do Bryce Langston, Zavier Carter and Desmond Little.
Walker Howard, Garrett Nussmeier getting the second team reps. Both Myles Brennan and Jayden Daniels went three and out on first team reps.
Linebacker Greg Penn just came in and stuffed a third and short hurry up attempt. Big hit by one of LSU's most impressive defensive players this spring
Jayden Daniels getting the first snaps of spring behind center. He takes it for an eight yard gain on a scramble.
Maason Smith gets credited with a sacks on back to back plays. He's gonna be a problem. Of course there's no tackling quarterbacks so take that with a grain of salt.
Kyren Lacy catches a first down from Garrett Nussmeier on the second series. Offense moves to the defense's 30-yard line. Nussmeier then threw a pretty pass to the endzone to Chris Hilton, but just couldn't get the foot down for a touchdown.
Desmond Little gets a sack on third down on Nussmeier. Defensive line has been impressive to start the first quarter.
Pregame
Just some pregame notes to be on the lookout for:
-Running back John Emery will participate in the spring game after missing some time due to an ankle injury. Just one of the many players to be on the lookout for and how he runs as he's been one of the
-The quarterbacks will get equal reps according to Kelly and will be a huge part of today's offense vs defense scrimmage. Read about the quarterback battle and the importance of the spring game to its depth chart here.
-Offensive line has been pretty consistent with Will Campbell, Miles Frazier, Charles Turner, Tremond Shorts and Cam Wire running with first team. No Garrett Dellinger or Marlon Martinez today.
-Bj Ojulari, Maason Smith, Jaquelin Roy, Ali Gaye will be a lethal front four combo.
