re: Nuss will be our starting qb by mid-season

If he hadn’t sat out that game, he wouldn’t even be at LSU still. The extra year of eligible allows him to be the backup at LSU another year without ruining his career and having to put all his eggs in one basket—his would be final season of ‘24.

He would have redshirted last year. Last year bowls didn't count towards redshirts and other than the bowl game he only played in 4 games. So had he burned the redshirt against KSU he would have just redshirted last year instead and he'd have the same amount of eligibility he has now

Now we had no way of knowing prior to that game that he would be in position to take a redshirt again the next year so at the time I wasn't fussy about him sitting out because I understood it. The thing I'm most mad about is LSU asked the NCAA for a waiver to let him play and the NCAA declined, only for them to come out the very next season and declare bowl games don't count toward eligibility for anyone. frick the NCAA
