Listen in the appJacob Hester and Matt Flynn dive into a pivotal moment for LSU as Garrett Nussmeier is listed as doubtful for the Tigers’ matchup against Western Kentucky. The guys unpack what his absence means for LSU now—and what his entire career in purple and gold should represent if this truly marks the end of his time in Baton Rouge. From flashes of brilliance to the legacy he leaves behind, Jacob and Matt break it all down with their trademark honesty.
Then, the conversation shifts to the NFL as the Saints make waves by releasing veteran wide receiver Brandin Cooks. The guys react to the move, what it signals for New Orleans’ offense, and where Cooks could fit next.
