On3 - “Dude can sling it. I want to make sure you leave this segment knowing that,” Pickell said.
“I think you’ll see that offense continue to churn at a really high level,” he added.
Nussmeier led LSU to a win in the bowl game, throwing for 395 yards and three touchdowns, including leading a game-winning 98-yard touchdown drive.
LSU fans don't realize how blessed we all are in college sports.

I’m still amazed at how we’re just pumping out QBs now like it’s nothing.
If you would’ve told me 10 years ago we would be in this position, I would’ve laughed your arse out the room.

He should be good. Ball security is the only red flag I have. BUT the defense should be much better than it was last season so Nuss shouldn’t have to put up insane numbers for us to be relevant.
Top 30 defense and a top 20 offense will have LSU in the mix

Always get nervous when they say a QB can really "sling" it. How many of the truly great ones were "Slingers"? Not Montana, Brady, Manning. They were smart QBs who were accurate throwers. Favre was a slinger and did well. But slingers usually sling into traffic and get intercepted. Hope this makes sense.

What impressed me in the bowl game much more than the stats (which were great) was that Nuss accomplished
1. Didn’t force the ball and a couple of times threw it away.
2. Distribution to a wide array of receivers
3. 90 yard go ahead drive.
4. And outside of the last 3 plays of the game carried the defense on his shoulders and the hands of his targets.
I know it was a depleted 7-5 unranked Wisconsin but those are invaluable amounts of experience for a first year starter.

Nuss ability to command the offense and make guys around him better will make him a first round pick while causing people to forget about 3 loss Daniels.

Dude is gonna better than good

Nuss will be a top 3 QB drafted after this season.
No one in the SEC can even pass it all over the field like he can.

Man, LSU was due for a stable of QB1s.
I was graduated in ‘00. Saw some shite.
There were flashes in the pan but goddamn we could recruit and get every position player imaginable EXCEPT QB1 for a good while.
It was disgusting.
We are due.

Just sling it to the right team

I have been a Nuss fan since watching his HS film before he signed with LSU. I was also concerned with some of the struggles JD had in 2022 with stretching the field and reading defenses.
However, reading through this thread it's clear some don't fully understand how big a jump JD made from 2022 to 2023. His deep ball and timing was as good as any QB in CFB. His ability to read defenses and make correct decisions was at or near the top. TD/INT ratio, completion percentage, YPA, big play ratio and nearly every metric were near the top of CFB without any consideration of his running ability.
The only reason JD was not a unanimous Heisman winner was the defense prevented LSU from being a playoff team.

Agreed. I think we will see a similar offense as the 2019 offense. Not in numbers but in scheme or design. While he can’t scramble like JD could, he can sure hand the ball off and can get similar yards as Burrow did. I think he’s just as fast and athletic as Burrow was. He just needs to make the quick decisions like Burrow did. That’s what made Burrow so darn good, he made quick decisions and he wasn’t afraid to get 5 or 6 yards with a quick pass underneath or run the ball for positive yards.
A mix of spread and pro style with some pistol formations would work really nicely with our current personnel. We will have 2-3 legit TEs to both block and run routes as well this year. It will be extremely tough to defend this offense near the red zone with a 2-3 TE set.
Come to the line bunched up with 3 TEs and then spread it out and hike the ball quickly. Those defenders will be so confused and if they aren’t prepared we’ll have two or three guys wide open. I would also bring back that double move from 2019 in the RZ area. Where our big 6’4” WR would start running inside then break to the outside with everyone bunched up. That’s so hard to defend. Run that on the left side and then run a pick play on the right side with a TE coming open.
All of our TEs are 6’6” or taller and have extremely big/ strong hands. Pimpton 6’6” 230lbs, Taylor 6’5” 245lbs and the new freshman 5* 6’7” 240lb TE/WR Mr. Trey’Dez Green. That’s huge targets and all have great ball skills. I’d be practicing throwing the ball up to all of them and letting them go get it. On huge 3rd down plays and especially RZ plays. I’d also practice it on huge 1st down plays to get chunks of yards. We should have a well balanced team this year.
That OL will be dominant. Only issue I really see is the DL and depth there. LB should be good to go. I think the secondary will improve dramatically. But we HAVE to find at least 3 DLman to help that area of the defense. If we can provide a really good run stopping DL with some pass rush from either the scheme or the players then this team will dramatically improve. Not worried about the offense at all. We have the right coach to get it done. I’m pumped to see what they do.

i agree... Nuss knows the system and he throws a ball that WRs love to catch... he wont have the scrambling ability, but, if he can get it to the playmakers we are going to be just fine..
