Nuss' tenure at LSU will go down as one of the weirdest that I can remember

You forgot he sat out of the bowl game to save a year of eligibility.. and everyone was not happy...to add to the wierdness of his time at LSU

Immediately after the Ole Miss game Kelly said he was not injured

Then yesterday he said he was still recovering

Yes, that's what was said

There is now 15+ games of film. Opposing DCs fully know the strengths and weaknesses. They also know the tendencies of Sloan's offense and, combined, how to stop both Nuss and LSU.

Ole Miss was the worst rushing defense in the SEC and they flat out dared LSU to run the ball at them, knowing Sloan and Nuss won't (I say Nuss, because I fully believe he is changing some run plays into pass plays at the line). Sloan's offense has rarely fooled or created confusion for opposing defenses. They have a pretty good idea of what's coming.

If you go back to 2019 you saw Brady using formations, motions, and personnel to create matchups and confusion. Sloan doesn't do much of that. Defenses now know that if you sit back in zone LSU can't hurt you with the run and Nussmeier will throw at least 2-3 balls a game that you can intercept. And, if LSU does move the ball on you, they are often unable to score TDs in the redzone.

Burrow and Brady were a match made in heaven

Nuss and Sloan are as predictable as LSU fans bitching about concessions at Tiger Stadium

I hate it for him because I love his arm talent and think he *could* be a good NFL QB, but it's incredibly hard to win in the modern era with a QB like Nuss. He flat out REFUSES, healthy or not, to run when it's wide open.

I think it's as simple as this - he's had some pain that has bothered and limited him. That pain has affected his throwing mechanics, and his lack of trust in his mechanics has altered his decision making. Because it doesn't appear we are about to make any changes, all we can really do is hope that the Bye is what he needs to get rid of that pain, find confidence again with his mechanics (which were really good in 2024), and start playing at or close to the level of a Heisman QB. As bad as his deep throws were at Ole Miss, he did a lot in the short to intermediate game that looked like the version of Nuss we like to see.

Man the average ranter knows what Sloan's calling when we watch on tv. Thats this offense's biggest problem! Nuss isn't to blame. He's also obviously hurt if you look at last year vs. this year.

Nuss probably came across tigerdroppings. Unfortunately, he'll never be the same again.

High four star recruit, arrives as a freshman in 2021, sits until 2024 where he starts for the first time.

well, he did play in the 2021 season...he came in for Max Johnson in the Arkansas game (threw a bad INT)...then played in 2022 SECCG when Jayden got hurt (and played great).

When the BK era ends with his firing, putting all his eggs in the Nuss basket will be seen as his biggest mistake.
