LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier threw for 304 yards and three touchdowns as the Tigers handled the Baylor Bears on Tuesday afternoon to capture the Kinder’s Texas Bowl, 44-31. LSU finishes the season with an overall record of 9-4.

The Tigers have now scored kickoff-return touchdowns in back-to-back games and interception-return touchdowns in two of their last three bowl games. In LSU’s 2023 Citrus Bowl win over Purdue, safety Quad Wilson ran in a 99-yard pick-six.

The Texas Bowl was as much as LSU football turning the page as about simply winning the game. Why the win over Baylor sets its' course for 2025.
