Nussmeier Overcomes A Shoulder Injury And Passes For 3 TDs As LSU Tops Oklahoma 37-17

Per ESPN: BATON ROUGE, La. -- — Garrett Nussmeier passed for 277 yards and three touchdowns, including a pair of 40-plus-yard scoring strikes to Chris Hilton after being treated for a throwing shoulder injury, and LSU defeated Oklahoma 37-17 on Saturday night.

Aaron Anderson returned a kickoff 100 yards for a score for LSU (8-4, 5-3 SEC), which closed out the regular season with two straight victories after a three-game skid had dropped the Tigers out of the AP Top 25.

Nussmeier briefly left the game in the second quarter after a heavy blind-side sack by defensive end R Mason Thomas. The LSU QB went to the locker room for X-rays, which the team said were negative.

He closed out his first series back in the game with a 40-yard touchdown pass deep down the right sideline to Hilton, putting LSU up 24-17 with 45 seconds left before halftime.
