Earning 18: Nussmeier’s Honor & LSU’s Road Test at Clemson
About this episode
Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn react to LSU naming quarterback Garrett Nussmeier as the recipient of the coveted No. 18 jersey for the 2025 season—a symbol of leadership, toughness, and selflessness in Tiger tradition. The guys break down what the honor means, why Nuss fits the mold, and share their own experiences with the legacy of 18. Then, they turn their attention to LSU’s season opener on the road at Clemson. From crowd noise and hostile environments to what it takes to win a big one early, Hester and Flynn give their take on the mindset and matchups heading into Saturday night in Death Valley (the other one).
