I like to stir the pot, but the offense looked pretty good once they pushed the deep ball

You could start to see the offense getting more and more boxed in the longer it took for LSU to prove it could gash them downfield consistently. Honestly, felt like the offense last year when JD and Denbrock didn't fully trust themselves with the deep and middle-of-the-field balls.

I think Nuss, maybe even the OCs, were wound up. ONce they relaxed they were good.

The passing game isnt worrisome, the running game needs quite a bit of work.

Posted in another thread, but Gordy said on the postgame that Wisconsin opened the game in an “umbrella” coverage, bracketing both Malik and BTJ. They were determined to not get beat deep to start the game. Hence, so many check downs and short throws early on.

How is that stirring the pot?

My only complaint is making judgement calls on strategic situations. If you are on third and short and you have a WR open past the 1st, stop looking for (or even trying to force)the big play down field and keep the drive going.

Nuss is going to be great. Not a single player in college football would want to follow Jayden. He played well.

I find my self wondering if early on they were a little too preoccupied with getting Malik his record rather than just running the offense. Seems like once Malik left the game, the offense started moving.

Well yeah. I was wondering why we weren’t using Nuss’s arm.

Glad they finally got back to it.

We saw some good things. Now we’ve got all spring practice and fall camp to work on it but this offense needs to be more vertical and attack downfield. Nuss has the arm for it. We don’t want to become a dink and dunk offense.
