re: Would Saban or Spurrier have pulled Jd and tried Nuss?

No, because they’re smart enough to know JD isn’t the issue.

He’s not THE problem, he’s part of the problem.

He’s a 5th yr guy, 2nd yr in system and is indecisive, won’t take deep shots and not very accurate….all signs that he hasn’t grown since last year. Puts up stats, but doesn’t sustain drives and get across the Goal line.

Teams won’t and don’t respect his passing game. They will continue to play the run and contain him. They’ll give up 1-2 big plays but know he won’t consistently beat them over the top and teams are perfectly fine with that. FSU was daring LSU to go deep.

Denbrock has added 0 to the playbook. His play calling in 1qtr inside the 5 was atrocious. Vanilla play book, no creativity to get players in space.

Kelly has 2 big decisions to make.

1. Does he make the difficult decision to go w/ Nuss and bench JD to open the offense. JD is a great kid/ teammate but he’s limited and it’s hurting the offense. Saban had a similar decision with Hurts a few years ago.

2. Scrap the project of Perkins playing in the middle. That completely eliminated your biggest defensive weapon. With a weak secondary, you need him coming off the edge to apply pressure. Add Mason smith back will give perk more 1 on 1 looks…I’ll take that.

LSU isn’t far from being a scary team. Minor tweaks and personnel changes are needed.
