Garrett Nussmeier was forced to leave LSU’s Week 14 contest against Oklahoma on Saturday night after suffering an upper-body injury.

Nussmeier was hit in the blindside after OU’s R Mason Thomas beat All-American left tackle Will Campbell off the edge. Nussmeier landed hard on his right shoulder and required medical attention before being carried off the field.

Nussmeier was replaced by backup point guard AJ Swann for the remainder of the series. Swann, a former Vanderbilt transfer, has attempted just one pass for the Tigers so far on Saturday night. But he played quite a bit at Vandy in 2022 and 2023. He threw for a career-high 1,457 yards for the Commodores in 2023.

Swann remained in the game for LSU’s second series following Nussmeier’s injury.

LSU hopes to end the 2024 regular season on a high note. The Tigers snapped a 4-game losing streak by beating Vanderbilt last weekend, but they need to beat Oklahoma on Saturday to go 8-4 in the regular season.

LSU is 2-1 all-time against Oklahoma. The Sooners’ only previous win in this series was in 1950.

UPDATE (8:32 PM ET): Nussmeier re-entered the game with 2:02 left in the half. An LSU spokesperson confirmed to the ESPN broadcast that he suffered a shoulder injury but was good to continue this game.
