Frank Wilson Says Offensive Issues Go Beyond Garrett Nussmeier

During the SEC Coaches Teleconference on Wednesday, Frank Wilson was specifically asked what has gone "sideways" or wrong with quarterback Garrett Nussmeier this season.

Wilson explained that it goes beyond just Nussmeier...

"I think as a team, we haven't performed and done the things that we need to do offensively, Wilson said. "I think Garrett is not isolated as someone who's gone sideways."

"I think that we have not done things necessarily best for us as an offense in a multitude of ways, and he's just one of many that have not played up to their desire or their want to. And that's at every position, whether it's the receivers, the tight ends, the offensive line, running backs, or the quarterback, included."

"Collectively, we need to continue to strive to do the things necessary to have success. And so there's a tremendous want to. He does some really good things, and there are other things that we need to continue to build on and build around him to have the success that we need both quarterbacks to play well in this game."
