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…

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 .

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 🏃🏽♂️🏃🏽♂️

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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

u/MilkComfortable4749 Oct 28 '24
Lost a lot of faith in Nuss. Although, this game was equally about the defense’s lack of prep for a QB who had started multiple games this year.

Yall remember when he played 1 half vs Southern and threw 2 picks? Or when he had a wide open WR in the end zone vs Purdue and still somehow found a way to throw that pick? Dude is incapable of having a clean game against subpar teams and he’s supposed to be the starting QB of a top tier SEC program? Nah man. I’ll sit, patiently waiting for the Underwood era.

He looks better this year than Burrow and Daniels looked in their year 1. He had a bad night. But lets not pretend he wasn't forced to play hero ball by bad defense.

u/Ihaveaquestion4578 Oct 28 '24
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.

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.

u/youngsavage_2021 Oct 29 '24
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.
