LSU-Wisconsin free live stream (1/1): How to watch online, TV, time
LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier will make his first college start, stepping in for Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels when the 13th-ranked Tigers (9-3) face Wisconsin (8-5) in the ReliaQuest Bowl on Monday, Jan. 1. The game will be live streamed on DirecTV Stream (free trial) and fuboTV (free trial and $20 off the first two months).
Daniels, who threw for 3,812 yards and ran for 1,134 while also accounting for 50 touchdowns, opted out of the SEC-Big Ten matchup at Raymond James Stadium to prepare for the upcoming NFL draft.
Nussmeier, who turns 22 in February, has appeared in parts of 17 games over three seasons with the Tigers. He backed up Daniels for two years after the dual-threat Heisman winner transferred to LSU from Arizona State.
In five games this season, Nussmeier has completed 17 of 33 passes without an interception for 196 yards and one touchdown. Overall, he’s 98 of 174 for 1,325 yards and eight TDs vs. six interceptions as a backup.
