LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier continues to impress with a strong 2024 campaign. Nussmeier entered the year with high expectations and so far, he's putting that talent on display.

Nussmeier led LSU to victory late against Ole Miss and followed it up with a clean and efficient game vs. Arkansas.

But there's one key area where Nussmeier is separating from the rest of the sport. That's the ability to avoid sacks. Nussmeier took just one sack in LSU's first seven games. He was pressured 65 times, giving him a pressure-to-sack ratio of 1.5%.

The only other QB in the country with a similar sample size and a pressure-to-sack ratio in Nussmeier's ballpark is New Mexico's Devon Dampier.

Nussmeier leads the SEC in pressure-to-sack rate, sitting an entire seven points in front of second-place Connor Weigman.

Nussmeier excelling in this area isn't a surprise. From the moment he arrived as a freshman, Nussmeier got the ball out quickly. In his limited time in 2023, Nussmeier didn't take a sack on 11 pressures. In 2022, he took just one sack on 16 pressures.

With an average time to throw of 2.62 seconds, Nussmeier ranks third in the SEC. However, his average depth of target is higher than that of Carson Beck and Quinn Ewers, the two SEC quarterbacks who get the ball out quicker.
