Things changed drastically on Saturday as Nussmeier faced pressure far more often than he has all season.<\/p>\n<p>During the Tigers\u2019 27-16 defeat against the Florida Gators, Nussmeier received a heavy blow to his head as the quarterback was sacked.<\/p>\n<p>He was visibly shaken as he grabbed his head before he eventually returned to his feet after a considerable time on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>The sideline evaluation of Garrett Nussmeier is what LSU head coach Brian Kelly and his medical staff are being blasted about.<\/p>\n<p>His evaluation included simple tasks such as asking Nussmeier to track a finger and stand on one leg with your eyes closed. That is not going to cut it.<\/p>\n<p>His examination, which was seen by millions worldwide, attracted the attention of Chris Nowinski, the founding CEO of the Concussion Legacy Foundation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-group mai-link-exclude has-alt-background-color has-background has-light-background has-xs-padding-top has-xs-padding-bottom has-sm-padding-left has-sm-padding-right has-xl-margin-top has-xl-margin-bottom\" data-content-name=\"Google News Follow Us\" data-track-content=\"\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Sharing clips of the sacking and following tests on X, he wrote: \u201cLSU QB Nussmeier back in after this hit, missing one play after a BS \u201cfollow my finger\u201d and \u201cstand on one leg with your eyes closed\u201d sideline #concussion exam is an embarrassment to sports medicine and college football.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered\"><iframe id=\"twitter-widget-0\" class=\"\" title=\"X Post\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/embed\/Tweet.html?creatorScreenName=reddawg77089&amp;dnt=false&amp;embedId=twitter-widget-0&amp;features=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%3D%3D&amp;frame=false&amp;hideCard=false&amp;hideThread=false&amp;id=1857937273725096310&amp;lang=en&amp;origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.totalprosports.com%2Fncaa%2Fvideo-lsu-tigers-facing-major-backlash-over-bullsh-t-concussion-test-that-allowed-qb-garrett-nussmeier-to-return-after-ugly-head-injury%2F&amp;sessionId=db7aec4f4b7be4392c9fe56e35d52bfa2b7dc319&amp;siteScreenName=totalprosports&amp;theme=light&amp;widgetsVersion=2615f7e52b7e0%3A1702314776716&amp;width=550px\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-tweet-id=\"1857937273725096310\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>He then added: \u201cIf you are concerned he had a concussion because he got crushed, grabbed his head, and took forever to stand up, you\u2019ve got to do more than this.
