It’s like you don’t even realize Nuss had just thrown an INT in the end zone a little bit before that.

The weird part was the Head Coach saying at halftime he didn’t even know his starting QB was limping during the game becuz the trainer never came told him anything…. REALLY?…

On 3rd down, letting one of the best DE/LBs shoot the gap untouched, put Sharp on his back and blow up the play was about as bad a play call and execution as there is.

I am curious why we have abandoned the WR screen which we used nearly 10 times vs Clemson.

The play call was abysmal, this offense is absolutely incapable of picking up 3rd and goal from the 3 by running, that should've definitely been a pass play.



In every other situation, yes

But not in that situation. Forcing USCe to use their TOs was more important than scoring a TD. A FG was fine.

He was a better qb last season than now. I don't know what happened but it appears he digressed .Heis a great person.
I think it's mental
He needs a sit down with Skip Bertman.
Bk is not a coach who can flip the switch in a players head.

Nuss may not be a great qb but with proper coaching he could have been a very good player

If you're going to run AT LEAST disguise it a little. Line up wide out, spread out the defense, put in Green as a decoy. This isn't rocket science.


The announcers said at one point late last night in the game even they knew which way lsu was running because of how they lined up. They said I can tell if they’re running left or right by the line ups. If I can see it I know SC can.

I can’t understand why in the last drive from the 1 you don’t jump ball it to your 6’7 receiver three times in a row.

You wanted a 3rd goal line turnover?! All we needed was to burn a little clock and kick a field goal to make it a two score game. In no universe do you call a pass play there.

Classic Nuss is the expectation that he will consistently cost you 1-2 interceptions/turnovers a game. It’s a shame that this “consistency” is accepted

Not in this situation. A field goal was as big as a touchdown in this instance.

Peak delusion. When the skill players downfield actually got position and actually caught the ball, LSU looked great.

The question I asked myself was why is Pyburn not used in some type of tush push formation.

Did we watch the same game?

I don’t think that’s what he said.

The one “accepting it” is BK

Many on this board have pleaded to give MVB a drive or 2. If for no other reason than to prove he’s worse than an unhealthy Nuss

It’s part of the problem, u just hit Treydez for an easy jump ball touchdown, your following red zone drive you say oh that wasn’t easy enough let’s hand the ball to the least experienced running back who proceeds to fumble

NUSS IS ALWAYS LIMPING. For 5 years he has limped away from any contact that puts him on the ground. He's either got some chronic ankle/knee thing or he is made of tissue paper. It's become a joke at our house, every time he's touched we say "wait for the limp!" That said, to his credit, he always stays in.

One of the worst offenses I can remember at LSU. The players are working hard but no real results are apparent in most situations. Nuss is a head case and the calls do not make sense considering our inability to execute basic plays close to the goal line. I’m embarrassed by the product CBK is delivering each and every week. Our defense is elite and we should be a top 5 team. This offense is pitiful and makes me sick to watch.

Yep. I wish the tv commentators would stop acknowledging it. He does it every single time he’s touched. It’s a joke

Hashtag; run call for an injured and slow QB and formation yelling run and no T.Green on field. Man we make so boneheaded decisions. I think I could be DC against the LSU OC and win.
