BK did say that he hears , through his headphones, the convo between Sloan and Atkins

Or....hear me out....Nuss is REALLY screwing this up.

Ever thought he might be changing the calls at the line?

Go back and watch the first or second series against USC. Nuss got rattled and was just doing whatever, Sloan nearly had to be retrained in the booth.

Said he’s hearing their conversation

Once, maybe twice, but I doubt this is happening so frequently that it's the primary reason for our offensive struggles.

I can't see BK (or any head coach, for that matter) allowing a QB to frequently change the play at the line to plays that fail. If that happened I really think that Kelly would have a Come-To-Jesus meeting with Nuss and tell him to run the plays that are called and stop audibling into plays that suck.

More likely (and just my opinion) is that the OL is exactly what we thought it would be before the season started, and Sloan has yet to find a way to call plays that minimize their obvious deficiencies.

Play-call was GREAT!! Execution was POOR!

Nuss could've checked it down...OR thrown the deep post (if he wasn't injured). And there lies the problem. Even though Nuss should know the limitations of his abilities, he still chose to make the ill-advised throw.

Also, just a caveat....you never want to have 2 WR's perfectly aligned in the same area so I'm guessing someone ran a bad route. At 1st look, it appeared than Nuss chose to throw into triple coverage. But you gotta wonder if he was actually throwing the deeper post route but just couldn't get it there. It was open.

Again, he should know his limitations and should've just checked it down to BS.

Not talking about him on that play. Where he's throwing the ball. Both of the WRs are in the wrong spots because they're right on top of each other so someone isn't running the right route. If Nuss throws that ball open to I think it was Thomas on that route it's a TD. He threw it so far behind him and the 2 WRs on that play looks like someone either ran their routes too shallow or the wrong route.


And still doesn't account for the awful play concept on Anderson's TD. There's no excuse for him to be right on the goaline by Green. So again, someone doesn't know their assignments or it's an awful play design. Anderson is playing underneath at the 1 yard line and Green is right behind him. Again, not knowing their assignments. If the DB covering Anderson turns around to look at Nuss he has an INT on that play because he can undercut the ball. That was some awful play design but I'm thinking Anderson is running the wrong route here. Someone of the 2 is. This is common problems for LSU this year. The WRs have their head up their arse with confusion.

It's not always about the playcall.

It's the totality of the offense. Sloan isn't the only problem but it starts at the top with the oc and the tone he sets.

It's also how you set up plays and get in a rhythm. Sloan hasn't been great at that. Not everyone can be a great playcallwr. You have to set defenses and have a plan.

Brad Davis is obviously a problem also. Nuss is a problem. So it's not just Sloan. I'm just of the opinion that it all starts at the top and how you bring everyone together. Players will even tell you this.

You know what tells me all I need to know? Notice how the SCRIPTED plays at the start of each game look as bad, or worse, than the rest?

Sloan is so lost that he can't even script plays that make sense or teach his team how to run them.

Face it, this is on Sloan and Davis.

You have 2 WRs running the exact same route and basically separated deep by only a few yards.

It is a concept run by every team

This new rant ism about needing to evenly space the field w receivers is all the rage.
