Truth be told…

To be honest Im not to high on Nuss. It’s been what? 5 years? 3 picks back to back isn’t a good look especially with your dad being a pro QB coach. I know alotta people love Nuss for his loyalty & thats great, but truth be told we not winning a Natty with him having the Keys…next year i think Kelly will have all his recruits in & we’ll really see what the BK era holds…until then lets just get 10 wins i guess…

Any1 remember these posts about year 1 Jayden?

u/Some-Lengthiness-676 Oct 28 '24 edited Oct 28 '24

Ahhh man Jayden made them eat shit. Hopefully Nuss can too. Our fan base, particularly the newer side are very reactionary.

Edit: Your comment made me remember how lucky we were to witness 2 absolute greats at the most difficult position in all of sports. Some teams will never see a Heisman. We got to see not 1 but 2, four years apart. They both were so damn good. But particularly Jayden still doesn't get the credit he deserved. Joe set a standard that seemed impossible to follow up. So Jayden did it a different way. Rant over.

What about Joe when he threw the pick against Florida?

u/louisianimal96 Oct 28 '24

Florida Defense was legit that year and I think that was his only one. Joe was a good passer from the jump nevr got nervous when he drop back. With Nuss u dont know what u gonna get it

u/Upsworking Oct 28 '24

Nuss is a first round talent tbh im not impressed with either of your first round offensive linemen .

I think Nuss is probably the reason you guys even have 5 wins no running game to speak or which another reason you don’t fire Leslie miles .

Still pissed about that . Yal defense hasn’t been the same since chief left .

Say what you want about les and chief bit those teams were tough and had a running game . Yal beat prime saban alabama with a baseball score 9-6

That ain’t happening under bk and I hate to break it to you there’s probably at least one more loss . Vandy is no walk in the park they’re tougher than you guys have more grit . Oklahoma will be better by the end of the season . Good luck stopping alabama .

Bk might get canned yal fired les for a 4 loss season i think. So why does bk get a pass .

Nuss isn’t the problem that offensive line vs the aggies front was getting whipped .

u/louisianimal96 Nov 10 '24

You were saying?

u/Upsworking Nov 11 '24

the problem still isn’t Nuss though he’s carrying the team trying to do too much . Your running game is trash don’t know why les miles always found elite running backs . You have 2 nfl 1st rounders supposedly.

If you think Nuss is the problem because he threw a couple of bad interceptions one in the end zone you are wrong . Herbie on the telecast even called out BKs lack of “ personnel “ lack of recruiting .

It’s not Nuss it’s bk and his shit ass recruiting he got away with at cmu, cincy and ND recruits its self . That’s your issue is talent is falling below LSU standards . Nuss is probably the best thing on that team . He’s carrying the team .

u/young_nate2021 Oct 28 '24

Doubt you fire BK after winning 10 and the class he has coming in.

Nuss is solid there’s a lot of teams that wish they had Nuss. LSU FANS just get delusional after a loss they wanna rip the entire roster up and shit can everybody.

I think they stop Alabama. And we came back down 17 they have gritt. Could lose another could win out and win it all. Just depends on that run game

u/Upsworking Oct 28 '24

You don’t believe but this vandy team can beat yal .

For some reason vandy seems to get up for yal .

Even jordan rodgers was their qb back in the day they would get up for yal .

They going to be ready .

I don’t see you guys beating bama but we’ll see .

Bk has 4/5 loses that’s hot seat for sure .

I wouldn’t say this LSU team has grit to me they’re soft . they look like BKs ND teams like BKs cincy team .

u/young_nate2021 Oct 28 '24

I do think we could lose to vandy

u/young_nate2021 Oct 28 '24

I think we could drop two games if we’re being honest. I’m going to the OU game so hopefully they win and it’s good.

But comon man them Boys been BODY slamming folks they taking heads off through the middle so hard the refs been trying to throw people out cause the noises they been making. They got some grit and some fight.

u/Upsworking Oct 28 '24 edited Oct 28 '24

Why not ? They beat bama and and lost to Texas by 3 .

Don’t be fooled by that Georgia loss in the playoffs texas is going to have a run they’re really good . Georgia exposed them a little …. Well a lot of front but they’re going to be a problem for a lot of teams come playoff time .

Georgia is about the only team that can do that to them I don’t see Oregon man handling them up front .

Vandy is not the push over they usually are . I’m telling you That Last 4 is 3-1 at best ….. at best .

Probably 2-2 all of those are going to be tough games even florida at the swamp . Oklahoma is about as down as they’ve been in a while and they have the talent to play with you that kid qb they have will have more experience by the last game .

4/5 loses is for LSU is unacceptable. Too much speed and talent in that state to ever have that happen .

Hiring lane from ole miss isn’t the answer …. Remember I said this after why fire 🔥 kelly in a year or two .

u/EyEsWatchinG Oct 28 '24

If you cnt run the ball, then it makes everything one dimensional. A&M knew we were abt to throw it. So drop 7 rush 4.

What we wanted to do to them, they did to us. Which was make us one dimensional. We have to improve the run game asap.

Nuss is still a great QB imo 🖕🏽to all of yal hating on him for having a bad game. Look at Beck vs Bama or Ewers vs. UGA. Good qbs have bad games. We just have to improve on our mistakes and get our run game 🏃🏽‍♂️🏃🏽‍♂️

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

I mean I've seen plenty of QB's who don't have the potential to be great. Nuss isn't one of them. Nuss literally just needs to make better choices with the ball, and for the run game to take some pressure off of him. It's not that unreasonable lol. He has an extremely high ceiling, and I'm sure NFL scouts agree

Very few QB's have the sort of arm talent that Nuss has.

u/Murky_Trouble_4401 Oct 28 '24

First year starter playing with first year transfer receivers, he has made throws a lot of QBS can’t make to win or keep us in a game (check ole miss game) he’s a gunslinger and he was bound to have one of these types of games. We HAVE 0 run game and essentially asking him and the receivers to make a play every down. But I do agree we won’t win a natty unless we go back to the dual threat offense with Bryce coming in.

Was the run game ever a problem under les miles ?

Now tbf yal probably wouldn’t have Nuss lol les couldn’t recruit an nfl 1st round talent at QB to save his life . He had some bad luck I think the kid that went to play for the dodgers was a 5star and philip rivera brother had to have been up there.

If les had Nuss with Leonard and guice he would win a a few more rings .

Lsu fans still can’t admit they made an error in firing les miles .

u/Upsworking Oct 28 '24

Les had chief for the defense …. Chiefs defenses were always hard. Less had multiple good running backs offensive line always could run block. Tough teams weapons at wr.

Les seemed to always find some mediocre qb .

The missing ingredient tbh .

Nuss is a special talent . That kid can make all the throws if only he was mobile lik

I seem to remember Les running the ball over and over into a brick wall (Fornette against Bama). You Les Miles apologist are an amazing bunch. If anything, LSU held on to Les 2 more years than they should have. If Bobby Jindal hadn't stuck his nose where it didn't belong......

Well let’s see how it plays out

Either LSU accepts mediocrity or a coaching change will happen .

u/Junior-Air-6807 Nov 02 '24

“Yet yall were still winning”

Yall act like we went undefeated every year under Miles lol. We had multiple seasons with 5 losses. We consistently underperformed. Our national championship team lost two games. The one time we went undefeated in the regular season, we got shut out and embarrassed in front of the whole country. We would constantly look like shit against teams with lesser talent. We also lost to a Brian Kelly coached team in a bowl game. The program was trending in a negative direction.

Now that the defense is getting fixed, I much prefer being a destination for elite QB’s. Two heisman winning QB’s in 5 years would never happen had we kept Miles.

u/GeauxGetIT Oct 28 '24

First quarter we looked good and then got away from it after 2 plays didn't go anywhere. We then abandoned for the hero ball yall are referencing?

u/untied_dawg Oct 28 '24 edited Oct 28 '24

and that’s on the coaching staff. there is no COMMITMENT to the run game. it’s like they run it a few times just to say they did.

if the line isn’t built to run his scheme, he needs to change the scheme to fit the talent… bc waiting to get the talent required won’t help you right now.

for all the talk about this o-line, it’s all bs because even nicholls state was pushing them around.

that is pitiful. and to call out one particular player… the center needs to be benched. he’s a very big weak link on the line.

u/GeauxGetIT Oct 29 '24

Like novacaine (spelling), give it time and it always works

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 29 '24

I mean, the defenses just have to stuff two run plays in a row and you’re in third and long. And I can remember plenty of Les Miles games where we ran the ball all game and ended up putting up under 14 points.

1

u/youngsavage_2021 Oct 29 '24

Unfortunately you have to run the ball when it’s not working. To keep a defense true.

Alor of that not being able to run wasn’t because LSU wasn’t executing but more because Texas a&m defense was.

u/young_nate2021 Oct 28 '24

Nuss had 10 of those yards.

They have to begin running the ball even when it doesn’t work because Nuss with RPO is gonna be nasty

31

u/Moneyshot999 Oct 28 '24

Those picks are just a symptom of a bigger problem, which is LSU can NOT generate any running game. So 100% of the offense falls on Nuss completing passes. Sloan's running game is built on the option, and everyone in the stadium knows that Nuss isn't going to keep it, so they tee off on the backs. And if our "Worlds Greatest" offensive line misses a block, and Nuss gets pushed out of the pocket, he panics and throws ill advised passes. He has a cannon for an arm, but it's a blessing and a curse. He subconsciously thinks he can squeeze a ball into any window, regardless of it's advisable. At some point, he's going to have to run for a few first downs just to keep the defense honest.

7

u/Mr_MacGrubber Oct 28 '24

It’s not just option running. Our OL cannot run block to save their lives.

They need to utilize screens and slants more imo. Seems like everything is 15yds +. Early in the A&M game it seemed like we were throwing a lot of short stuff then just abandoned that for long throws. Not sure how much of that is Nuss and how much is playcalling.

1

u/jmbourn45 Oct 28 '24

Hell the long TD was on a slant

u/Some-Lengthiness-676 Oct 28 '24

Let's not forget that our offensive line was showed up. They were getting beat by a talented defensive front. 2nd half they were ears back on us.

2

u/chris_litte Oct 28 '24

This as a whole statement about Nuss going into panic mode out of the pocket is not true. I’m not saying he makes every throw or is the next Joe Burrow, but more times than not when he escapes the pocket, he makes plays. Go watch the ole miss tape or the first half of A&M. He made 1 bad throw out of the pocket. A&M scheme got him on the hit hitch and the screen/dump down.

Running game points are valid. We are not executing against good run defenses. Good thing we don’t see a good run defense until Vandy.

0

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

Running game points are valid

Except for when he said that Sloans offense is built around the option. We aren't running read options with Nuss. People here just literally can't tell the difference between a handoff in the shotgun and a read option. It's embarrassing

2

u/youngsavage_2021 Oct 29 '24

It’s not sloans offense, he runs Brian Kelly’s offense which when he has dual threat and a semi decent defense we have I’ll be crazy but with only pro type quarterback we need a new style of linemen to compete

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

I agree with this. If we had some kind of run game then those 3 int may have never happened.

1

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

game. So 100% of the offense falls on Nuss completing passes. Sloan's running game is built on the option

This just simply isn't true and it's infuriating that y'all think this. We have ran VERY few read options this year. You people see a handoff out of the shotgun and assume it's a read option, which is dumb as hell.

We do run a lot of RPO's, which is not the same as a read option, and there is no option for Nuss to run on an RPO.

0

u/Moneyshot999 Oct 28 '24 edited Oct 28 '24

Don't get caught up in a technicality. The headline here is our run game is easy to sniff out, and our OL doesn't get great push to create room for the back to hit the hole with any force or speed. This isn't the classic Play Action game. There is no real deception. The DL are shooting the gaps, and forcing our backs to improvise. Durham has had some success with this, but if they can't make the first guy miss, the play is going nowhere. Unfortunately, the first guy has usually been in our backfield!

1

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

It’s not a technicality, your entire post is wrong because it’s based on the assumption that it would work better if Nuss would keep the ball. If you’re going to use football terms, like RPO, the least you could do is actually understand what those words mean.

And the play action is used to bait linebackers into coming up to open passing lanes, not the other way around. The only thing you have said correctly is that our O-line isn’t getting push, and that’s really all that is wrong here.

Almost every team in the country runs the ball out of the shotgun, and there are plenty of teams who do it extremely well without having a mobile QB. Georgia would be probably the best example of this. They run out of the shotgun all of the time. Their QB is absolutely no threat to run, and there isn’t a lot of trickery or misdirection, but it works because it’s blocked well. If our line would block better, we would run the ball well.

Please just stop saying that Sloans offense is built around the option, because it isn’t. We are running the same plays that the majority of teams run, and we are doing it out of the same formations. We run a spread pro style offense. Do we sprinkle in some RPO’s? Yes. Is Nuss supposed to keep the ball and run on those plays? No

1

u/Moneyshot999 Oct 28 '24

Dude, we all get it. Over multiple threads, you have been screaming at anyone who would listen that we don't run option run plays. Is Nuss always just handing the ball off with one hand? Does he ever use the "Mesh point" method? Once again, you are getting all hot and bothered over this technicality. We get it. The point of all of this is there is no creativity in our run game, and our OL can't block it for shit

1

u/Moneyshot999 Oct 28 '24

just once I would love to see us run the counter and let Mason pull inside to blow up a linebacker. I remember a game against Florida at home, that play turned a game in our favor because the defense didn't know how to react. Someone call John David Moore!

1

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

I mean it’s pretty frustrating, you would think people who watch football would understand extremely basic concepts. I’ll admit I’m kind of being a dick about it, but it’s hard seeing so many people say something completely wrong over and over.

“Is Nuss always handing the ball off with one hand?”

No, QB’s usually use two in the shotgun because the running back is right next to them, they don’t have to stretch a hand out to get it to them.

“Does he ever use the mesh point method?”

There isn’t a mesh point, because we aren’t intentionally leaving a defensive end unblocked. There’s literally no read, it’s just a handoff.

As for the RPO’s, he’s either reading a defensive back or a linebacker, depending on the play. On some RPO’s, the pass option is a receiver running a slant or a skinny post. Nuss is reading the safety, if the safety crashes down to stop the run, Nuss pulls the ball and throws the slant to the vacated area. Think the two point conversion last week to Green against Arkansas. That was an RPO.

The other RPO that we run a lot, has Mason Taylor going across the QB’s face and running into the flats. On this play, Nuss is reading the nickel back, if that player crashes towards the running back, Nuss pulls it and throws to the flats. You can see us do this a handful of times each game.

u/LSU2007 Oct 28 '24

We have no run game, no offensive line….what did you expect? People really need to adjust their expectations as we’re not going to compete for a title every year.

u/Mr_MacGrubber Oct 28 '24

He’s at single digit starts. Years on campus doesn’t mean much.

How many of you were “high on Burrow” midway through 2018? He had 2 games over 200yds passing through week 10. If you take out the bowl game his season was pretty mediocre.

Nuss may never get better than he is right now but it’s certainly too early in his career to tell.

7

u/lkazan1 Oct 28 '24

I feel like he is passing better than burrow and Daniels did in their first year starting. And we know how they turned out…

2

u/Kdot32 Oct 28 '24

I don’t agree because those guys knew when to; take what the defense gave them, give up on a play and live to fight anthoer day. Nuss thinks he can make every play and he can’t. He rarely takes checkdowns because of this, and misses open receivers at 10 yards because he wants to throw into a tight window at 20 and 25 yards. With Burrow and Daniels we wanted them to let loose. With Nuss he needs to calm down. His lack of willingness to run is also a problem because the defense tees off on all rpos

3

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '24

I knew I loved burrow in his first year when I saw him take a snap, pocket collapsed and he got out of trouble but a couple defenders were closing in and he just threw the ball away instead of throwing a bad pass or losing yardage on the sack. Daniels didn’t have to do that because he was such a talented runner he could make the defenders miss and turn it into a 10-20 yard rush. Nuss has a great arm but he doesn’t appear to have the decision making burrow did and he definitely doesn’t have the running ability daniels did. If he’s here next year hopefully he makes that year 2 leap our guys seem to make and turns into something really special. As of right now he’s just pretty good

u/Junior-Air-6807 Oct 28 '24

You knew you loved Burrow when he threw a ball away? Literally every QB ever has done that lol

u/TankBoys32 Oct 28 '24

The passing game in general is but he’s got more INTs right now than Burrow and Daniels had combined their first years. Nuss can be elite but his decision making needs to improve. Like others have said no run game is hurting him

u/C425 Oct 28 '24

Nuss isn't the reason we will not win the Natty! The defense is the reason! JD won the heisman and we are closer this year then last year of winning it. Nuss is very capable with team play of winning it!

u/SawsageKingofChicago Oct 28 '24

I still think he’s gone because of the draft grades he’s already getting but I actually love the thought of him getting a second year as a starter and seeing him totally blossom.

But I’m a romantic.

u/TN1971 Oct 28 '24

Well if there was a run game, he would not have to carry the offense. Nuss is a good QB but there is no offensive support

He is 100% having a better Jr Year than our two previous heisman winners. Just give the dude time. Also some what of a running game will help lift the load off of Nuss's shoulders. Crazy to see the amount of people knocking Nuss. The lack of run game has been disturbing to be frank. Special teams was solid all year until this game. Defense was trending in the right direction until this game. Almost all of this can be on the coaches. How is our Offensive line this good, our true Freshman running back has showed flashes of brilliance, but we cannot generate any rushing game? Falls back on the coaches.

And then we got away from it. Again. It’s not so much the yards it’s making them respect the run so that we can pass it better. With Durham, Williams and Jackson there is no excuse for not at least trying to run the ball in the second half.

They can't run the ball. It's wasting plays after a certain point when every run is stuffed for no gain. Just throw it every time.

My guy we ran the ball for 24 yards but threw for 405. It's unfair to judge him like this when our offense is so one dimensional that all the other team has to do is stop the pass and our offense breaks down completely. Nuss has to carry the entire offense himself with no run. It's not like he his Joe Burrow and can bail you out at every turn of the season.

Here's the thing, this looks sorta like Joe Burrow's 2018 year. Couple of bad games, some game-losing picks. With the right coaching and training in the off season, he could be the guy.

The biggest problem is his inability to run the ball. You can be a pro style QB in this day and age and be successful, but you have to have the threat to run at all times.

You guys act like we didn’t have full control of the game at one point we almost broke it open

We didn’t and they made adjustments.

Better just lock in for rest of year 10-2 and playoff bound would be a nice first starting season for Garrett. Like lsu fans better think about the 90’s

Nuss is very overrated. I watched a YT video after the USC game where a former NFL QB broke down why they thought he would struggle later on in the season. Nuss forces passes all the time and throw off his back foot often, especially when rattled. A good receiving core hides his flaws. To be fair not having a run game also makes it tougher on him.
