Use Bowl Game as a Test for Nuss. If he fails, use a transfer

Nuss has been enough with LSU for last couple of years to be familiar with the offense. Give me all the bowl practices. Make him play against a stout ND defense. If he shows some promise, well and good. If not, get a transfer. cant go into the season with an unproven QB room. What say Rant?

OR regardless of how he plays get a quality transfer QB and have them COMPETE to be QB 1.

Nuss should see some time in the bowl game, just like last year, if the defense isn't getting gashed.

He played in the bowl game last year and played well, except for one underthrow. We already know he can play and thrive in Denbrock's offense.

As OP stated, he needs first team reps. He should get those in the spring.

I am not in favor of bringing in a portal transfer. Collins is here. He's had a year in the system. We need to ensure his development. Bringing in another QB will only take reps away from him.

We should just stop recruiting QBs and just get one who wants to quit his team out the portal every year

Nuss showed promise vs UGA in '22.

Not gonna dismiss the OP's suggestion out of hand. However, I would exercise caution in taking this course: there are a lot of QBs who may struggle in a first start who later become top-shelf players.

IMO, the Jayden we saw the last ten weeks and who should win the Heisman with little protest, is not the Jayden we saw vs FSU. Glad we stuck with him and he stuck with us.

oh, now the bowl game is important enough for him for his future to depend on it?

Only if JD5 decides to not participate. And I think that is unlikely.

This thread is another reason I'm thankful that Rantards aren't coaching the team.

At the start if this season Nussmeier was the next Burrow. What the hell happened that opinions seem to have so drastically changed?

Coach Brian Kelly is going to put the redshirt sophmore to the ultimate test. He has to chose the Holy Grail chalice. He only has one chance to choose correctly out of 47 chalices lined up. If he fails, his life is obviously not worth living and will die on the spot. If he successfully chooses the correct Holy Grail chalice, drinks from the cup and survives, we will allow him to start as LSU's starting QB heading into 2024 until his first incompletion then we will make him choose again. It would be only fair right cause burrrrrr competition....

The coaches already know what they need to see from him.

I am not sure why Nuss needs to prove himself. He has done it over the last 2 years. He was outstanding agains Georgia in the SEC championship game and he was good in the bowl game. He has been playing behind a QB that will win the Heisman. He would have likely been the starter for just about every other SEC team, outside of Georgia.

nothing will be determined in the bowl game. if kelly seeks to try to upgrade or add to the QB room that is his choice.

whomever is here will have a spring and fall to win the job.

By this metic we may have sat Daniels after FSU.

The coaches know what’s happening in practice. And there is not a portal QB better than Nuss at this point in the portal.


Bad take.

I wouldn’t mind seeing Nuss though
