Cut that 20 in half and then your statement would be accurate.

Actually never insulted you. However, you are acting like a liberal. All you do is claim to be smarter about a subject and result to insults lmfao. When you cannot even answer a basic question. As I said I am praying for your soul.

If he is that hurt then yes. But I don't think that is the case, and therefore he should continue to play to get as many reps as they can to get some rhythm.


If he is so hurt that we can't throw the ball downfield and have to rely on short passes and an inept running game to play field position, then he shouldn't be playing because he is, in fact, "that hurt"

We agree there. If he is that hurt then he needs to sit. However, if he was that hurt he wouldn't have played against La Tech. But lets go back and look at the Clemson game. When the opportunities were there for downfield passes we took them. (i am still mad about the Barion Brown touchdown). Not once did Nuss look impacted by "injury."

Now when you look at the throws he is making he is still shredding defenses in the intermediate game. Which I might add is his best area throwing the football. Is the insistence on the behind the line of scrimmage throws (bubbles, swings, and screens) more about the injury or trying to get an extension in the running game due to our inability to consistently run block? I would say its more of the latter. Now again, if Nuss is hurt and he physically cannot make throws then he needs to sit. But that does not look to be the case.

LMFAO. The Hypocrisy. Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth.

My hope is that this team finds something to be really good at on offense. That will keep LSU from having to get 5 turnovers to win by 10 again. Its kinda inexcusable.

EVERY.SINGLE.GAME that is where he is best. Yet, it's as if Sloan doesn't even watch the tape because every game LSU starts off the first few series with a bunch of ineffective throws to the boundary and the usual ineffective running game. At some point after Sloan finally accepts that approach isn't going to produce anything for the 11th, 12th, 14th, 16th, time, you start seeing crossers and slants between the hashes. Like "magic", the passing game begins to cook.

It's not "plays". It's an understanding of what your guys do best. Two completely different OLs don't block the running game approach well. It's HIGHLY unlikely LSU just stumbled upon 10 different O-linemen that can't run block. It's more like what they are being asked to do isn't effective. So rather than continue to do the same thing over and over, change the approach.

Just go back and look at 2021. LSU was terrible on the ground during the first 5 games. In game 6 (Kentucky) they insert Jack Mashburn and start to run a lot more counter. TDP goes for nearly 150. The next week he sets the single game rushing record. LSU didn't replace their entire OL or suddenly get better at doing what they were previously doing overnight. They adjusted the approach to what fit their personnel.

If you watch a game from 2024 and the first 3 games from 2025, the approach looks EXACTLY the same. Nothing has changed. The only difference is opponents now have 16 games of film to prepare for what LSU is doing.

Posted in a previous thread critiquing our offense so far this year that I was told by a BR media member at halftime in Clemson that he had been dealing with a core injury since fall camp which was why our passing game was so different up to that point. Now he certainly had the deep ball to Barion Brown that game, but you can’t discount our offense against La Tech and then again against Florida and not attribute it to his supposed injury.

I honestly hope he was that injured against La Tech because otherwise he has sucked so far this year relative to what the expectations were.

It's worse. 1 TD by the offense. 1 by the defense, and 2 field goals.

I agree with you. As I have said. Every pass play should have at least 1 player on an in-breaker. Down and distance can determine depth of route and route concept but we always need a receiver having a shake, dig, shallow or deep crosser, or slant in our concept.

The splits, spacing, depth, and synching of routes in our route concepts has been very poor the last two weeks outside a couple plays. Seeing 2 receivers in the same area over and over where 1 defender can actually play both is maddening.

That’s all I want to see fixed. The deep shots are going to come eventually but play calls and play design can be tightened and cleaned up allowing us to be more successful.

Honestly there wasn’t anything wrong with the play calling in week 1. There’s a few plays we would have wanted to get back but that wasn’t the issue. Now again Nuss hasn’t actually been bad the pick against tech seemed to show ailment but when you look at how offensive lineman are consistently missing assignments in the run game, in order to open up the middle of the field you are going to throw more screens and swing passes to use that as an extension of the run game.

The poor WR alignment, the bad spacing on routes, the lack of consistent in-breaking routes, and non-synching route concepts is not something that is going to be impacted by the injury.

But again if he was that hurt and throwing was that painful then he shouldn’t have played against Tech and I think Kelly would have sat him against tech after making it out of Clemson with a win with a hurt/limited QB.
