Mark Ingram Slams Brian Kelly For Saying USC QB Miller Moss 'Outplayed' Garrett Nussmeier

Since LSU's season-opening loss to USC, Brian Kelly's postgame comments, in which he said, 'Miller Moss outplayed Garrett Nussmeier,' have been a big topic of discussion.

For context, here's what Kelly said, word for word:

“They’ve got some good athletes. I thought the quarterback played well tonight,” Kelly said Sunday night. “He outplayed our quarterback. He made the plays when he needed to.”

During the latest episode of The Triple Option, Mark Ingram was very critical of Kelly's comments directed towards his QB. Per On3:

"That’s not throwing him under the bus, that’s throwing him under the 18 wheeler semi,” Ingram said on The Triple Option. “Your player just went out there and played his tail off. You said it. Nine incompletions, 300 yards, two touchdowns. He didn’t throw an interception until the last pass of the game, which the game was over, and you go out here and you throw your player, your starting quarterback, under the bus? You should be encouraging these guys.

“This is the first game of the season. We talked about the 12 team expansion, the season isn’t over. You should be encouraging your teammates, encouraging your players, bringing your players together, instead of throwing your starting quarterback under the bus. That is unacceptable and unheard of. And quite frankly, I know for a fact (Kelly) probably wants that back.”

On Tuesday, local reporters asked Kelly about his comments after the game. Kelly made it clear he was not disparaging Nussmeier but gave the nod to Moss since the Trojans won the game.
