Chris Hilton or another outside receiver type start to consistently get open on the outside. That's what this offense is missing, we get that this offense will be unstoppable it will open up everything.

It ain’t their fault. Alone won’t even call a pass play with a route passed 10 yds

They ran a ton of routes that were past 10 yards. 90% of route trees have deep routes. Are you serious?
The game plan was get out with a win. That’s what they did.

sorry but we got out with a win because the defense was spectacular
they held the ball for 15 more minutes. that’s not complimentary football

They did win, but I don’t think the offense being that bad was part of the game plan.

My point was the gameplan was to not take chances and let the defense win the game. They should have blocked better and not fumbled and not throw the pick. The offense didn't do its part, but they I am certain they went into that game thinking the Moore is hurt and Chester got dominated by LaTech. Lets just run quick routes and run what we can to get out with a win. They rarely looked downfield.

Right. Their conservative gameplan doesn't work if your OL doesn't run block. There were also things like Anderson dropping a pass behind the LOS.
Flynn also just kinda broke it down on OTB. When the defense had an advantage in the box, we threw the quick "screen" to the WR. But they played press on the outside so the CB had better leverage to make a play. If we'd have thrown downfield a few times (even with incompletions) I think the offense would have opened up. The problem was the gameplan was to not make mistakes and let the defense win the game.

they take the shakles off Nuss. He's not a boring game manager. He is not made that way and he hates it. Play him like you did last year.

You have a 5th year returning starter at QB who is viewed as a potential 1st round pick. You have several talented WRs who have proved they can make plays if put in the right position to do so. You have a solid RB. There are NUMEROUS OCs across the nation who would love to have that time of personnel. That's not a recipe to "not take chances" and let the defense win. This is the second time LSU has had a good 5th year senior returning starter at QB. Given the way of college football today it's entirely likely this will be the last time they have that for a while. The pieces are in place to have one of the better offenses in the country, not a unit you hope you can hide enough to grind out close wins.
From 2009-2018 you saw a "not take chances" offensive approach and the results it brought. Then, in 2019, you saw a new OC come in and say with these personnel we are going to attack...not just hope to avoid mistakes.

Nuss hasn't thrown a single 50/50 ball, and that's where guys like Hilton eat. Gotta give these guys chances to make plays - I believe Nuss is being coached into extremely conservative decision making.

I agree but that was the gameplan.
Personally, I think throwing the ball deep (even with incompletions) makes the defense back up a bit and then your RPOs to the WRs behind the line gets a few more yards and you're able to run better with safeties having to respect deep balls.
I think they were worried about Moore vs Banks and really wanted to just get out of this game with a win and let Moore heal.

This isn't NCAA25. You can't just say, we need to throw the ball down field and then force it. Teams are playing cover 2 and cover 3 behind light boxes because our running game has not forced anybody to bring an extra defender down in the box. We don't need to rush for 250 yards every game, but if you start popping off 6-7 yard runs against light boxes, you'll force the defense to bring a safety down to stop the run and open up the top of the defense.
If we try to force the ball downfield right now, Nuss is going to throw the ball to the other team.

It’s really that simple. We have to get better at running the football. Maybe the line is just taking a little while to get good chemistry, or maybe they just stink. But the last thing we want is Nuss feeling like he has to make huge throws every series because we’ve seen him get in trouble with that mindset.
