Overview
- Frank Wilson said Garrett Nussmeier re-aggravated an abdominal injury in practice and is listed as probable, with coaches and medical staff set to monitor him closely.
- Wilson has not named a starter and indicated both Nussmeier and Michael Van Buren will play against Arkansas.
- Van Buren, a more mobile option, has taken first-team reps in practice and would start if Nussmeier is limited or unavailable.
- Nussmeier was benched in last week’s 20-9 loss at Alabama, and Arkansas defenders said they prepared for increased quarterback runs and rollouts.
- LSU is 5-4 overall and 2-4 in the SEC with bowl eligibility one win away, while Arkansas enters at 2-7 and 0-5 under interim coach Bobby Petrino.
