I feel this would help open up the run game more, especially if we need to burn clock

Then you have the option to let him throw it once in a while if the defense keys on his running leaving a receiver open

If Nuss is healthy and we aren’t up by 30 he’s not seeing the field this year

I admire him betting on himself to be LSU’s starting qb in 2026.

Thought they were hoping to redshirt him. Maybe Hurley changes that

Nobody is panicking but Van Buren has not had a great spring.

Wrong. Kelly already said he will go in for some goalline plays.

It would be Ju’Juan Johnson, if anyone. Even that isnt very likely this year unless Nuss is shaken up.

JuJuan Johnson is a better option

I think they are more comfortable with letting him get more snaps than backups got last year. You'll see him on goal line situations or short yardage. Definitely will see him in the rent a wins.

Johnson is the Louisiana all time leading rusher what Nuss is ? We were horrible in the red zone last year horrible because Nuss was not a threat to run the defenses crushed us we were limited .

I hope not.

I can’t stand bringing in a QB that the entire defense knows what is coming

I would hope we have some RedZone packages with him ready. Our struggles there last year with a better line were obvious.

I don’t think MVB is a running QB.
