I would have enjoyed seeing him play one last time but this is best for all involved.

It gives Nuss a great chance to get a leg up on the competition next year.

I would have loved to see him purple and gold one more time, but it’s also probably best for the future that Nussmeier gets a start. Geaux Tigers
