He had a happy moment from his childhood surface in a media availability period, but Garrett Nussmeier has to now flush that memory and create a new one of his own.
The Louisiana native is the son of former Alabama offensive coordinator, Doug Nussmeier.
Garrett watched his father coach AJ McCarron and the Crimson Tide’s offense to a 21-17 thrilling victory over Louisiana State University at Tiger Stadium and a BCS National Championship over Notre Dame and then Fighting Irish head coach, Brian Kelly.
He enjoyed watching his dad’s success, but the young Nussmeier has a chance to rip away Alabama’s College Football Playoff hopes inside “Death Valley” in Baton Rouge, La.
