LSU’s Tigers had controlled much of the game on the road against Clemson’s Tigers in a battle of Top 10 teams, but they had never led in the game. It was well into the final quarter with the two Bengal teams tied, 10-10. It was time for LSU quarterback Garrett Nussmeier, an early leading Heisman Trophy contender to make a difference … and he did just that.
Tight end Trey’Dez Green pulled in an eight-yard pass from Nussmeier in the end zone, providing what turned out to be the game’s final score, in a 17-10 win for the visitors.
The winning catch was one of only two receptions for Green in the game.
Nussmeier completed 28 of 38 passes for 230 yards, no interceptions and the lone scoring pass. He also added 10 yards rushing.
Green’s touchdown reception has been chosen as the U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish “Catch of the Week.”
Remember … for the tailgate tent or the pre-game party, U. S. Farm-Raised Catfish is always “the winning catch.”
The Catfish Institute, or TCI, was formed in 1986 by catfish farmers and feed manufacturers to raise consumer awareness of the positive qualities of U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish. Since its formation, U.S. per capita consumption has more than doubled.
U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish is a sustainable and environmentally friendly seafood product. The National Audubon Society, Monterey Bay Aquarium, and Environmental Defense all recommend U.S. Farm-Raised Catfish as a safe environmental choice. To find out more, visit www.uscatfish.com.
