LSU QB depth at QB position?
Posted on 12/28/23 at 9:27 am
Posted on 12/28/23 at 9:27 am
With the number of QB's getting injured and unable to play this season, I was wondering if there was a backup QB besides Rickey Collins. FSU stellar season was trashed after Jordan Travis went down. A&M has seen it's QB room decimated as well. We all remember Miles Brennan's accident that sidelined his career. Walker Howard pulled up stakes cause he did not want to wait his turn behind Daniels and Nuss. I watched Collin Hurley light up the US Army Bowl, so Nuss, Rickey, Hurley will be the three if I have it right. I am uncertain as to where Swann fits in to this picture. Really, I am confused because, is this not the same scenario that convinced Howard to leave? So we see where you need back up at the QB position but on the other hand how to retain them when they are warming the bench? Not even going to mention Texas and that QB fiasco.

Swann transferred from Vandy, that's probably the plan for a backup.

Nuss is your 2024 starter. Swan is the backup. Collins is emergency depth. Hurley is a very young high ceiling prospect.
Unless he absolutely shocks us (and the coaches) with a transformation over the off-season, Collin will likely transfer eventually. Probably after next season as a RS-So.
Eta: Hurley seems like a competitor. He's basically sacrificing a year of eligibility for a jump start on the 2025 and 2026 QB competition.
Still don't get why Walker Howard made a parallel transfer to be the 3rd string at Ole Miss.
A lot can change if LSU lands Underwood.

So you asked this
Then said this
You just named a guy who has never started a game, a guy that has attempted two total passes, and a 16 year old. You don't see where a two year SEC starter fits into this QB room? Really?

What QB depth at linebacker position?
I think that’s what everyone is really worried about

Hurley will likely redshirt and the staff probably doesn't feel Collins is ready to take meaningful snaps, thus, we bring in Swann...

You bring in depth because if QB1 goes down, your then (before getting this kid out the portal) QB2 is a 16 year old. Not because Collins isn't ready. Collins has been getting high praise from the staff since he came in, and will be the bridge to get us to Underwood.

You literally answered your own question. We don’t want to look like FSU has since Travis went down. So we brought in a solid back up that has been an SEC starter.

If we lose our starting QB, with this defense. Play the young players and get ready for 2005 because we aren't winning anything in 04.

I suspect that A.J. Swann would be the immediate in-game backup to Garrett Nussmeier because he could come in and continue to run the game plan as prepared that week by the OC.
However, if Nuss were to be lost for the season, then the next couple of weeks could move more in the direction of a dual-threat QB game plan. In that case Rickie Collins might get the start, and Colin Hurley might be the backup.
QB-PP1 Garrett Nussmeier
QB-PP2 A.J. Swann
QB-DT1 Ricke Collins
QB-DT2 Colin Hurley

Okay, but what about our QB depth at LB position?
Posted on 12/28/23 at 2:50 pm to TigerPlate
Would LSU have QB depth at any other position?

How was it trashed? They went undefeated.

Preface: I know nothing
My thoughts: I can’t see Ricky Colins ever taking meaningful snaps at LSU … I just don’t see the talent being good enough.

The direction the NCAA, Supreme Court, and transfer portal is headed, if Nuss gets hurts, then someone can just transfer in mid season and be immediately eligible. No worries!
For everyone that read that and didn’t catch it, that was sarcasm. I don’t really believe it.
